Zillow released an analysis this week predicting the nation's hottest housing markets of 2025, where sellers have the greatest advantage. The heat ranking takes local home value growth into account as well as how quickly homes are selling and job growth per new home.

Buffalo, New York is set to be the hottest housing market of 2025, retaining its title from 2024, thanks to strong job growth and limited housing supply, according to a new report. As new jobs fuel competition for homes, the demand continues to outstrip availability, driving up prices in cities throughout much of the country.

Buffalo is home to the hottest major housing market in 2025, according to a newly released report by Zillow, and it's the first time a market has held the title in back-to-back years.

A new Zillow report puts the Bay Area in unfamiliar ground when it comes to the housing market. The region, known for its sky-high housing prices and demand, ranks at the bottom of a list predicting the hottest and most competitive markets in 2025.

Homebuyers in the Indianapolis area will face one of the most competitive markets in the nation in 2025, according to multiple forecasts.

For the second year in a row, Zillow — a real estate website — predicts that a specific city in New York will be the most competitive for buyers in the coming year in the United States. Buffalo is predicted by Zillow to have the hottest housing market in the United States.
