ZIP 24293 — Wise County, Virginia

Not ranked — here's why: Over 65% of homes here are absentee-owned. That pattern usually means a vacation or seasonal market — corporate buying here mostly reflects short-term rentals, not the buy-and-hold or flip investing our rankings are built to show. So we show the counts but keep this ZIP out of the rankings.

This ZIP sits in the Big Stone Gap, VA microarea — see the whole market's numbers, county by county.

Worth knowing: Most homes here sit above the county's typical price. In higher-priced ZIPs, corporate purchases more often mean second homes, rebuilds, or land plays than classic rental-and-flip investing — read the numbers with that in mind.
