Mass. has the ‘hottest zip code in America,’ according to Realtor.com
The town offers "a sweet spot" for those who want a mix of livability, value, and proximity to Boston.
The hottest zip code in America is in Massachusetts, according to Realtor.com.
The real estate marketplace released a list of the hottest 50 zip codes in 2025 for home buyers on Monday, and Beverly ranked No. 1. The coastal city in the Boston metro area is a newcomer to the annual list.
Beverly offers “a sweet spot” for those who want a mix of livability, value, and proximity to Boston, according to the report. The median listing price for a home in Beverly is $746,000.
“Beverly is a great city to live in,” Adeline Matton, a real estate agent and broker with Aluxety Realty, told Realtor.com. “First of all, it’s so scenic. It’s an oceanside city. We have the harbor, we have yacht clubs, beautiful beaches, beautiful parks, beautiful greenery, and downtown is thriving.”

Homes in Beverly spent just 16 days on the market, according to the report, had nearly five times more listing views than the national average, and sold for a median price that was a discount compared to parts of Boston.
Ten other New England communities made the list:
- No. 3: Leominster, Mass.
- No. 7: Trumbull, Conn.
- No. 8: Cumberland, R.I.
- No. 9: South Windsor, Conn.
- No. 13: Wilbraham, Mass.
- No. 15: Manchester, N.H.
- No. 18: Wallingford, Conn.
- No. 21: Concord, N.H.
- No. 24: Bristol, Conn.
- No. 47: Windham, Maine
The Northeast and Midwest dominated this year’s list.
The report took into account market demand between January and June as measured by unique viewers per property on Realtor.com and the pace of the market as measured by the number of days a listing remained active on Realtor.com. The list of top zip codes is limited to one per metropolitan area.
