Top 10 Hottest Zip Codes - Houston July 2014

Stats are fun but not as fun as investing in real estate.  Analyzing a real estate market by the contract ratio is a key indicator in measuring how hot the market is.  A "Normal" market has a contract ratio between 30 and 60.  Markets with a ratio greater than 60 indicate a hotter market.  It's a simple stat that anyone can use to analyze the current market conditions. 

Below are the hottest zip codes in Houston.  If you are thinking about investing,  the market hotness will help determine if your home flies off the market or lags on the market for months.
