Two San Antonio-area ZIP Codes were among the 10 hottest for homebuyers last year, according to a study released last week by online real estate marketplace Opendoor.

San Antonio’s 78253, home to the West Side’s Alamo Ranch subdivision, landed at No. 9 on the list up two spots from last year’s ranking. Meanwhile, New Braunfels’ 78130 came in at No. 8 spot, dropping four spots from the 2022 study.

Opendoor’s rankings were based on which Zip Codes had the most sales within 90 days of listing, on average.

Overall, seven of the top 10 hottest ZIP codes in Opendoor’s report were located in the Lone Star State. Cypress, northwest of Houston, took the top spot. All of the top-ranked ZIP Codes were found in desirable smaller cities with an affordable cost of living, according to the report.
