2 Denver Suburbs Among The Most Popular Housing Markets

It's no secret that buyers are gobbling up houses at a fast rate across the United States. With such a hot housing market, Zillow wondered which areas are seeing the most activity so far this year. Researchers "analyzed page-view traffic, home value growth, and for-sale inventory for more than 1,000 cities to come up with a ranking of the site’s most popular U.S. markets, factoring in indicators of home buyer demand and general housing market activity."

Two Denver suburbs made the list: Highland Ranch and Golden!

Experts also explained what's driving this surge of house buying:

"The most popular markets so far this year paint a picture of how remote work has changed the U.S. housing landscape. Demand for suburban homes found an extra gear last summer, causing suburban home values to grow faster than home values in urban areas, a reversal from previous norms and from the first 15 months of the pandemic. Remote work is a driving force behind this shift, prompting home buyers to prioritize affordability and space over a short commute."

Here are the Top 10 most popular markets, according to Zillow:

1. Woodinville, Washington (Seattle)
2. Burke, Virginia (Washington, D.C.)
3. Highlands Ranch, Colorado (Denver)
4. Westchase, Florida (Tampa)
5. Edmonds, Washington (Seattle)
6. Yorba Linda, California (Los Angeles)
7. Johns Creek, Georgia (Atlanta)
8. Tustin, California (Los Angeles)
