The 20 Most Desirable Neighborhoods In The USA, According To Internet Interest
There’s something undeniably thrilling about browsing through homes online, even if you’re not in the market for a new place.
With the rise of house listing sites like Zillow, it’s easier than ever to indulge in this guilty pleasure. Not only does it offer a satisfying dopamine hit, but it also lets us satisfy our curiosity and compare our own living situations with others. And with Zillow receiving over 10 billion visits in 2021 alone, it seems we’re not alone in this delightful pastime.
Despite the high interest in browsing listings on real estate apps, there has been a decline in home sales and a rise in monthly mortgage payments, making it difficult for active buyers to make a move. There are signs that the red hot real estate market of 2021 and 2022 is starting to cool down.
However, with sellers flooding the market and prices starting to drop, the tide could soon turn.

HouseFresh analyzed user patterns on Zillow to discover which neighborhoods are most popular among potential homebuyers.
In order to do so, HouseFresh.com gathered sales listings data from Zillow in the 100 most populous cities in America, and for each home listing, they recorded the neighborhood, number of days listed on Zillow, and the number of page views. They then calculated the average number of page views per day for each listing and averaged the daily views across each neighborhood.
