Buffalo, N.Y., is expected to be the hottest housing market in 2025, according to an analysis by Zillow.
Buffalo was also predicted to be the hottest market of 2024, making it the first market to hold the title in back-to-back years.
The city’s growing housing market can be attributed to new jobs in the area, bringing in new residents, Zillow says.
Following Buffalo is Indianapolis, Ind.; Providence, R.I.; Hartford, Conn.; and Philadelphia.
Zillow’s list of the hottest markets is based on an analysis of forecasted home value growth, recent housing market velocity, projected changes in the labor market, home construction activity and number of homeowner households.
Nationwide, Zillow predicts relatively slow and steady growth for home values and sales in 2025.
