Buffalo, New York, is predicted to be the “hottest housing market” in the United States this year, with strong labor conditions expected to support the city’s home prices, according to a report from real estate marketplace Zillow.

“Competition among buyers never cooled in Buffalo last year, and that heat should keep smoldering through 2025,” said the Jan. 7 report from the company.
