SUNNYVALE, CA — Sunnyvale was Zillow’s most popular West Coast city of 2024 and the only California community to crack the real estate website’s top 10 markets list.

The Silicon Valley city came in 10th among Zillow’s most popular markets. Manchester, New Hampshire, took the top spot, followed by Rockford, Illinois, and Stamford, Connecticut, in second and third places, respectively.

“The Northeast continued to capture attention, dominating Zillow’s list of most popular markets for the second consecutive year,” according to the real estate website. “The Midwest also performed well, while only one West Coast market managed to break into the top 10, a notable shift from its previous dominance in 2021.”
