Scouring real estate listings for a new home can lead you down a rabbit hole of endless options. Do you want a four bedroom home? A pool? Maybe you want to be near an ace school district or where the heart of the city is. Whatever that reason one thing you want to make sure is that the home you are in is in a great neighborhood.
Texans (and future Texans) are in luck because Opendoor has just released which zip codes were the hottest in 2024. San Antonio's 78253 zip code — which contains Alamo Ranch — made the No. 3 spot, followed by New Braunfels 78130 zip code at the No. 4 ranking. Cracking the No. 10 spot on the list was Kyle's 78640 zip code. The New Braunfels and Kyle zip codes contain the entire cities and surrounding areas, like Gruene and Uhland respectively.
San Antonio made a six spot leap from 2023 (No. 9) and so did New Braunfels, which jumped up from No. 8 last year. Kyle wasn't on the top 20 list in 2023.
Texas beat Florida for the most zip codes in the top 20 with seven, according to the ranking. The Lone Star State also can claim the first four spots on the list with Katy's 77493 zip code taking the top spot. Katy knocked off the No. 2 zip code of Cypress in 2024 for the No. 1
Opendoor created the listing of top zip codes after studying information from different Multiple Listing Services where the company operates. They ranked zip code baddies by how many total homes entered into a contract in a 90 day window last year, the listing states.
