Louisville zip code among the ‘hottest’ in the country

Louisville ZIP code 40205, which includes all or parts of such upscale neighborhoods as Seneca Gardens and the Highlands, has been cited as one of America’s “hottest ZIP codes.”

The recognition comes from Realtor.com’s economic data team, which, for the first time, has released an analysis of the country’s “hottest ZIP codes midyear” and has put the local 40205 area in the 25th position.

The ranking is based on how quickly properties are selling and how frequently homes for sale are viewed on listings in each ZIP code.

“Listings in 40205 have received almost three times the views as the average listing in the U.S., and two to four times the views as the average listing in Louisville,” Realtor.com said in a release. “At the same time, inventory in the ZIP (code) has a median age of 38 days, which is 23 days lower than the market median and 35 days faster than the national median.” Read More
