Heating up: 10 most competitive neighborhoods in 2015

No, it’s not all in California

The most competitive neighborhoods in 2015 are all located in just four cities, Redfin’s latest housing report found.

However, this doesn’t come as any shock given that these cities — Boston, Seattle, Portland and San Francisco — are also among the nation’s prominent technology hubs.

“These four metro areas have set themselves apart in terms of attracting and creating high-wage jobs in tech, pharma, and finance and that has heated up the local housing market. When a short supply of homes collides with high-income homebuyers you get this hot, hyper-competitive climate,” said Redfin Chief Economist Nela Richardson.

Here are the 10 most competitive neighborhoods for homebuyers in 2015:

10. Cambridgeport (Cambridge), Boston

9. Phinney Ridge, Seattle

8. Central Sunset, San Francisco

7. Grass Lawn (Redmond), Seattle

6. Spring Hill (Somerville), Boston

5. Hawthorne, Portland

4. Roosevelt, Seattle

3. Brighton/Allston, Boston

2. Overlake (Redmond), Seattle

1. Inman Square (Cambridge), Boston
