Forbes has released their annual ‘Most Expensive Zip Codes in the US 2012’ list and it’s not Beverly Hills. The list was compiled with the help of Altos Research, a Mountain View, Ca based company that tracks housing data. Pulling from more than 22,000 zip codes across the U.S, the research company calculated the median asking price for a single-family home and condominiums, weighting the price based on mix of local property types. Altos limited the search to Zip codes where 10 or more residences were listed for sale, including short sales and bank-owned foreclosures on the market. Here are the 10 most expensive zip codes in the US.
