Best In Luxury Real Estate™

🏆 Ranked #1 Oldest Housing Stock in U.S. Luxury ZIP Codes — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. What if the most valuable homes in America aren’t new — but nearly a century old? The latest data from ALEX Intelligence reveals that ZIP 02116, home to some of the nation’s most exclusive real estate, has a median home age of 86 years — the oldest in any $1M+ ZIP code. This isn’t a flaw in the market — it’s a feature. In luxury real estate, scarcity isn’t created by new construction; it’s preserved by time. The oldest homes in America’s top ZIPs are not relics — they’re the ultimate assets. This shift challenges the entire industry’s narrative: true luxury isn’t about newness, but about irreplaceability. Renovations that erase character may not add value — they may subtract it.
