The real estate market is heating up in 2025—and Rochester is right in the mix. According to new data from real estate company Redfin, published in April’s edition of House Beautiful, realtors across the country have named the top ten hottest neighborhoods in the U.S.—and guess what? Fairport, a picturesque village just east of Rochester, made the list!

Fairport, NY – located just outside of Rochester. Home sales in Fairport have skyrocketed by 48% over the past year, and 81% of homes are now selling above asking price. That kind of demand is rare—and it presents an exciting opportunity for those considering their next chapter.

If you’re a senior thinking about rightsizing or making a move, there’s never been a better time to sell. Taking advantage of this hot housing market could unlock real financial value, giving you extra flexibility and peace of mind as you transition to a retirement lifestyle.
