New England dominated this year's hottest ZIP codes by zipcode. Realtor.comreleasedits hottest ZIP codes of 2020 report on Tuesday, which revealed that more towns in the Northeast made the list than last year.

"The hottest zip codes have bucked the national trend of a housing market slowdown during the COVID-19 pandemic," Danielle Hale, realtor.com's chief economist said in the report.

"Even during the pandemic, homes in the hottest markets were selling at a blistering pace, with the median days on market in all of the top neighborhoods being under a month," Hale said. "Likewise, all of the hottest zip codes saw demand increase, with rising views per property on realtor.com compared to last year."
