West Simsbury is the 43rd “hottest” zip code in America for residential real estate, according to a new ranking by Realtor.com.
Represented by zip code 06092, the 4.4-square-mile section of Simsbury was the only Connecticut zip code to make the list of 50 geographies where properties have the most viewings and sell the fastest.
The top zip code for the January-to-June period was in the Greater Boston city of Melrose. Only three other New England zip codes made the list: Mansfield, Mass. (21st), Bedford, N.H. (28th) and Southborough, Mass. (48th).
Realtor.com said each of the 50 geographies on its list has a housing market where homes sell as much as nine times faster than average and where property viewings are as much as eight times more common.
Median household income also tends to be higher among the zip codes that made the ranking, the website said.
West Simsbury (population: 4,203) has a median household income of $153,092, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That’s comparable to Westport, which has the fifth highest median household income in Connecticut. Meanwhile, Simsbury overall has a median household income of $99,764.
