This Stark County ZIP code ranks among the top 50 hottest in the U.S., Realtor.com says
continues to have praise for the Stark County housing market. A Stark County ZIP code cracked list of the 50 "Hottest ZIP Codes" in the country for 2025. This comes just weeks after the which is run by the National Association of Realtors, and the Wall Street Journal ranked the Canton-Massillon market as the second best in the U.S. in its summer rankings. The 44718 ZIP code, which covers parts of Jackson and Plain townships, ranked No. 39. Plain Township Trustee Scott Haws wasn't surprised to hear 44718 made the list, and said it is a testament to the hard work and development the township puts into the community. "It pleasantly reinforces to me that we are a welcoming environment," he said. "We're balancing development along with preservation of green space, and that combined with quality schools and quick access to shopping needs of all types, I think it's just that nice mix." Haws said further developing the township will continue to build upon the sense of community in the area. "When you're going to invest your hard earned dollars in housing, you certainly want to have a certain level of feeling that there's intentional planning, that there's good zoning and code enforcement to help you protect your investment," he said. "I think the culture we have (and) the socioeconomic diversity of Plain makes it an attractive place for folks to raise a family that would be in an environment that's more reflective of the real world." Midwest shows up strong among top 50 hottest ZIP codes Northeast Ohio had multiple appearances among the top 50. This year's list continues a consistent trend for the Midwestern states in the report. "For the third consecutive year, the South and West were absent from the list. Instead, the Northeast and Midwest dominated, reflecting continued demand in regions where supply is constrained," according to the report. "Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Ohio each contributed two ZIPs (in the top 10)." A Strongsville-area ZIP code (44149) was ranked No. 6 and Bexley (43209) was No. 10. Ohio has several other communities in the top 50: Toledo (No. 17), Cuyahoga Falls (No. 22), Mansfield (No. 34), Ashland (No. 37), Fairfield (No. 43) and Tiffin (No. 48). How is the housing market compared to last year? According to a July report from the average listing price last month was $439,990, a mere 0.5% increase from last year. "The national market is cooling overall, but the pace and severity of the slowdown vary widely across regions," according to the report. "On the inventory side, metros in the Northeast and Midwest remain relatively tight, while those in the South and West are tilting in a more buyer-friendly direction with longer time on the market and an increasing number of sellers cutting prices." In the Midwest, listings are staying on the market three days longer than last year on average. "In July, the typical home spent 58 days on the market, which is seven days longer than the same time last year," according to the report. "This marks the 16th straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis. National time on the market has now surpassed pre-pandemic norms for the first time." What's the average household income in hottest ZIP codes? On average, the household income in the top 50 ZIP codes is around $114,000, significantly higher than the national average of $79,000. "Shoppers in these markets are not only looking at higher-priced homes, but also putting more money down, likely in part to reduce their monthly payments in a high-interest rate environment," according to the report. "The typical householder was also older at 56 years old compared to the national median of 54, reinforcing the trend of more established, equity-rich buyers leading demand." What's the average listing price in the Canton-Massillon area? In the 44718 ZIP code, the median listing price from January to June was $414,000, notably below the national average for the month of June, which was $441,000.
