MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, Wash. — Homes are selling faster in one Snohomish County ZIP code than anywhere else in the United States, new data shows.

98034 in Mountlake Terrace saw homes last on the market for just 27 days in Q2, according to The Business Journals' analysis of data from Black Knight Inc. on the hottest housing markets in the country.

Alameda County in California was second on the list, with homes selling in 29 days on average in Q2. Three King County ZIP codes -- 98014, 98034 and 98155 -- also ranked in the top 10 of markets where houses get sold the quickest. 98014 is in Carnation, 98034 is in Kirkland and 98155 is in north Seattle.

The Business Journals also found earlier this year that a ZIP code across the water from Seattle is the nation's most expensive outside of the state of California. The typical home value in 98039, or Medina, is over $4.4 million.

Black Knight Inc. bills itself as a software, data and analytics company that "drives innovation in the mortgage lending and servicing and real estate industries."
