This Detroit Area Zip Code Is Among Hottest In The Country

LIVONIA, MI — Houses are flying off the market in one Livonia area.

The 48154 ZIP code in Livonia ranks 6th on Realtor.com’s 10 Hottest ZIP Codes report.

The ZIP code includes neighborhoods west of Inkster Road and east of Interstate 275 between Six Mile Road and Interstate 96.

To determine the ranking, the real estate website looked at two key aspects of the housing market:

1. Market demand, as measured by unique viewers per property on Realtor.com.
2. Pace of the market as measured by the number of days a typical listing is active on Realtor.com.

The study found homes in the 48154 Livonia ZIP code are on the market for just an average of 25 days. The median list price was $338,000 with a typical listing attracting more than three times as many online viewers as the rest of the U.S.

Homes in the neighborhoods were selling just slightly over (0.67 percent) the asking price. Homes across the entire Detroit area were selling at 0.19 percent below the asking price.

Roughly 55 percent of viewers searching for homes in the 48154 zip code are within the Detroit area. The largest out-of-market views came from the Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood, IN (7.3 percent), according to the study.

The list comes as Realtor believes buyers are prioritizing larger homes within commuting distance to a major job center rather than focusing on affordability.

Borrowing costs for the average 30-year fixed mortgage through the first half of 2026 are roughly 6.3 percent, down from 6.8 percent a year earlier.

Realtor.com releases a list each year with the top U.S. ZIP codes where buyer interest is the strongest.

The list is dominated by communities across the Midwest and Northeast, with some of the ZIP codes tied to the New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit metro areas.
