What makes a home hot?

A hot home is a new listing that buyers are paying far more attention to than other homes that hit the market the same week. We look at how quickly buyers are viewing a home and saving it to come back to, and compare each home only with homes listed for the same number of days. That way a home listed yesterday competes fairly with one listed last week.

See how the neighborhoods behind this list compare in the Peninsula neighborhood rankings, or check every Bay Area neighborhood's score on the Houseberry map. We will publish a new list next week.
