The Pandemic had many home shoppers looking outside traditional real estate hot spots, but Zillow has revealed the most searched city of 2022 fell well outside expectations.
Prairie Village, Kansas was Zillow’s most popular market of 2022, showcasing rising interest in the Midwest and headlining a shift away from 2021’s West Coast leaders.
An upscale suburban community just minutes from downtown Kansas City, Prairie Village was pushed to the top of Zillow’s popularity rankings with site-leading page views of for-sale listings per day. Established on the Kansas-Missouri state line and featuring a number of activity-filled parks, shops and restaurants, Prairie Village was also tops on Zillow’s popularity rankings for small towns.
Windham, New Hampshire, a bedroom community outside Boston, scored second highest on Zillow’s index after Prairie Village.
Grand Rapids, Michigan, won out for most popular large city. Richmond, Virginia landed in second place, while Omaha, Nebraska, took third.
