Most and least expensive places of '07

Where was the most expensive ZIP code to buy a house in the Baltimore metro area last year? What about the least?

Why yes, I am going to tell you. But why don't you guess first. Go on ... I'll wait ...

As usual, my figures include only those ZIPs with at least 10 sales in '07 and also '06, which means a few super-expensive areas -- like Gibson Island -- don't make the cut. Without further ado, the top 10 ZIP codes by average sales price, as measured by Metropolitan Regional Information Systems:

Fulton (20759) -- $858,522

Glenelg (21737) -- $844,814

Highland (20777) -- $837,863

West Friendship (21794) -- $806,500

Davidsonville (21035) -- $799,773

Glenwood (21738) -- $778,742

Dayton (21036) -- $733,875

Clarksville (21029) -- $668,797

Phoenix (21131) -- $657,663

Woodbine (21797) -- $643,458

And the 10 least expensive ZIP codes by average sales price:

Baltimore (21205) -- $68,187

Baltimore (21223) -- $89,813

Baltimore (21213) -- $92,299

Baltimore (21216) -- $93,335

Baltimore (21215) -- $122,009

Baltimore (21217) -- $136,255

Brooklyn (21225) -- $165,004

Baltimore (21229) -- $167,434

Baltimore (21206) -- $177,406

Dundalk (21222) -- $180,157

Kudos to you if you made any correct guesses. I'll put up some other stats later that didn't make it into my ZIPs-and-neighborhoods story last Sunday.
