This Ohio ZIP code is one of the hottest in the US for home buyers
Emily DeLetterWho knew that Worthington, Ohio, was such a desirable place to live?
The northern suburb of Columbus in Franklin County made the top 10 list for Realtor.com's recently released Hottest ZIP Codes report.
Eight of the top 10 ZIP codes are found in the Northeast. Worthington was ranked third overall and was the only one in Ohio. The only other ZIP code outside the Northeast was located in Tennessee.
Worthington's median home price was $467,000, and homes spent an average of seven days on the market, the report said.
One region of the U.S. not appearing on the list? The West, where Realtor.com said concerns of affordability have "pushed buyer interest elsewhere."
