Most of the South region is taking a while. Realtor.com put the median days on market at 68 days in September 2026. But one ZIP code in Central Corridor South tells a very different story. Sharp pricing still brings strong offers there.

ZIP 06052: the fastest corner of the market

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 27 homes sold in ZIP 06052 in the three months ending July 31, 2026. The median days on market was just 12 days. That is 8 days shorter than the same period a year before, the Real Estate Data Aggregator shows.

Speed alone does not tell the whole story. The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 85.2% of homes in ZIP 06052 sold above list price. That share jumped 29.3 points from the same period in 2025. Homes there averaged 107.4% of list price at sale.

Not everything in 06052 is pointing up. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows the median sale price dipped 7.3% to $350,000. Homes sold were down 20.6% year over year. So fewer homes sold, but the ones that did sold fast and over asking.

How the other ZIP codes compare on speed

ZIP 06052 is the fastest, but it is not alone in moving quickly. Here is how the Real Estate Data Aggregator ranked each ZIP code by median days on market for the three months ending July 31, 2026.

What the wider picture looks like

Realtor.com reported the median list price in the South region was $379,000 in September 2026. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in ZIP 06111 at $380,000 for the three months ending July 31, 2026. Those two numbers are close. But speed and above-list results vary a lot by ZIP.

Not every ZIP code is running that fast. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows ZIP 06013 took a median 49 days and ZIP 06051 took 41 days. ZIP 06479 took 32 days. Realtor.com also noted mortgage rates topped 7% in September 2026, which adds pressure across the whole market.

What this means for sellers and buyers

For sellers, the data shows that sharp pricing still pulls strong offers in several ZIP codes. The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that ZIP 06111 averaged 107.9% of list price at sale, up 2.3 points from a year before.

For buyers, the fastest ZIP codes leave less room to wait. Nearly 7 in 10 homes in ZIP 06052 went under contract within two weeks of listing, the Real Estate Data Aggregator found. That share rose 16.1 points from the same period in 2025.

In short
  1. The South region averaged 68 days on market in September 2026, Realtor.com reported.
  2. But the Real Estate Data Aggregator shows ZIP 06052 moved in 12 days, with 85.2% of homes selling above list.
  3. The market is not one thing.
  4. It depends on the ZIP, and often on the street.

One street can read very differently from the whole ZIP code. If your home is in Central Corridor South, the numbers above are a starting point, not the full answer for your address.
