Perhaps you don't associate zip codes with money, but that's the way it works in real estate. Your home is compared to other homes in the same zip code and if it happens to be in Missouri's most expensive zip code area, the average home price is over a million dollars.

Realty Hop just broke down the most expensive zip codes in each state and the top 3 in Missouri are where the home bling is in the state. Here are the 3 most expensive zip codes in Missouri in reverse order:

3rd - 63073 (Saint Albans): $869,000

2nd - 63131 (Town & Country, Saint Louis): $925,000

1st - 63124 (Ladue, Saint Louis): $1,018,500

I've had one friend in my life from Ladue and that person only had the guard dogs sicked on me a couple of times. I'm kidding - probably. It's a seriously nice area that is full of beautiful homes with maximum security systems built in, in case you're wondering.

If you think the property is expensive in Ladue, Missouri, you should see what the same money will get you in Hawaii.

I'll take Ladue, Missouri over Hawaii anytime and I never thought I'd say that. The most expensive zip code in Missouri will barely buy you a shack in Hawaii. Go figure.
