Methodology

This RealtyHop Most Expensive Zip Codes Report analyzed the most expensive zip codes in the United States using over three million for-sale listings drawn from the RealtyHop database during the period between January 1, 2024, and October 15, 2024. To produce the ranking, the median price for each zip code was calculated and sorted from most expensive to least expensive.

The following building types were used to calculate median sales price: condo, co-op, house, multifamily, residential, townhouse, and triplex. Any listings classified purely as “land” were excluded from the study. Any listings with invalid zip codes, including single-building zips located in New York City, were also excluded.
