How was the list formed?
To determine the most expensive zip codes in the U.S. in 2024, we looked at residential transactions closed between January 1, 2024, and September 30, 2024, taking into account condo, co-op, and single- and two-family home sales, but excluding all multiparcel deals.
Two Cape May County towns made the list?
First up, coming in at No. 70 overall was Stone Harbor
Stone Harbor, a coveted beach town located along the Jersey Shore, secured the 70th spot with a median home price of $2.2 million.
