93108 – Santa Barbara, CA
Demand for high-end homes is finally waning after six years on the boil. The signs of a slowdown are clearest in Silicon Valley, where just a year ago eight-figure list prices, bidding wars and one-week sales were commonplace. Surpassing the Valley this year are ZIPs in New York and California, but sellers in these high-priced havens would be wise to stay humble: Their hometowns could be next.
For our annual list of America’s Most Expensive ZIP Codes, Forbes worked with Altos Research, a Mountain View, Calif.-based real estate research firm. Altos calculated the median home prices for more than 28,500 U.S. ZIP codes (covering 95% of the U.S.
population) using asking prices for single-family homes and condominiums listed for sale. To account for any blips that might occur when an unusually high-priced property comes on the market, Altos used a rolling average for the 90-day period ending November 18. The goal is to provide a snapshot of current activity.
