The U.S. was home to some lively housing markets in January, but several areas emerged as the hottest, according to Realtor.com.
Realtor.com put out a report last week identifying January’s “hottest” real estate markets across the country, looking at unique views that properties drew on its site for demand and how long listings were live for pace of the markets.
The top five spots on its ranking were largely dominated by places in the Northeast, with a city in Wisconsin also securing a spot, the report showed.

Homes in the Manchester-Nashua market spent a median of 46 days up for sale before being snapped up by buyers, with a median asking price of $579,000, according to the report. Realtor.com said “ongoing demand in the area has prevented inventory from recovering, keeping attention-per-property high and market pace snappy.”

The market had homes stay on the market for 51 days and notched 4.1 times as many views per property on Reatlor.com than the national median, the report found.
