Home prices on the rise on Long Island

If you're lookin to buy a home and you're on a budget, you may want to steer clear of Long Island. Realtors say there is a boom in people looking to buy, but not nearly enough houses available.

NEW YORK - Realtor.com has released its 2024 list of hottest zip codes for home sales, and towns in NY and NJ made the list!

The real estate listings website created its ranking using an algorithm that factors in two characteristics of the housing market: 

  • Market demand, as measured by unique visitors per property on Realtor.com.
  • The pace of the housing market, calculated by the number of days a home listing is on the website.

How much does it cost to live the American Dream?

Lynette Khalfani Cox, CEO of the Money Coach shares how the high cost of living is impacting families in the US.

Seven of the 10 hottest zip codes on this year’s list are in the Northeast, while the Midwest claims three spots on the list. Realtor.com noted that three of the Midwest zip codes were on the 2023 list.

Many turn of the century buildings, once the home of major wall street banks are being transformed into restaurants and apartment buildings. Christal Young takes us inside one of them.
