Top Most Expensive Zip Codes in the US: California and NY Dominate, NJ Takes Just One Place!

MARCH 9, 2016

 

Curious to see which are the most expensive zip codes in the US for home buyers? We ran the numbers and ranked the nation’s elite zip codes based on median sales prices. Although it’s no surprise that most of the leading zip codes are in California, New York does not disappoint and makes quite a few appearances.

The undisputed leader is Sagaponack’s 11962 with an impressive median sale price of $8.5M. As you might expect, homes are not sold so regularly in this small, exclusive community in the Hamptons, and the asking prices are to dream of for ordinary buyers.

Atherton’s 94207 holds strongly to its title as the most expensive zip code in Silicon Valley and took the 2nd position among US zip codes, followed by the famous 90210 (Beverly Hills).

And here are the highlights:

  • 11962 in Sagaponack (The Hamptons) won the “Most Expensive Zip Code” Gold Medal with a median sale price of $8.5M!
  • Atherton ($5.9M) and Beverly Hills ($3.5M) complete the top-ranking trio.
  • NY settles in with a total of 7 positions on this list: 3 zip codes located in Lower Manhattan, plus 4 zip codes in Long Island/The Hamptons.
  • New Jersey takes one spot: Alpine’s 07620.
