The typical home in Dousman, Wisconsin is worth about $498,309 as of 2026-07-03, up 7.4% over the past year and up 28.0% over five years. Source: Zillow Home Value Index, compiled by Sawar Homes.
Dousman is one of the lower-priced doors into Waukesha County. The typical home value here is $498,309 as of April 30, 2026 — roughly $35,800 under the county median of $534,102 — and the village ranks 21st of 27 municipalities countywide by typical value.
That relative discount has not meant a stalled market. Values rose 7.4% in the past 12 months and 28% over the past five years, so the most recent year ran ahead of the average annual pace implied by the five-year figure.
Dousman also sits in an unusually tight local price cluster. North Prairie ($499,353) and Mukwonago ($499,703) are within about $1,400 of it, with Lannon ($515,183) and Sussex ($517,730) a step above.
Position first: 21st of 27 in Waukesha County puts Dousman in the county's lower third by typical value. But cheap for Waukesha County is still above average for southeastern Wisconsin — Dousman's $498,309 typical value runs about $42,500 over the seven-county regional median of $455,834.
The trajectory is firm. A 28% five-year gain averages out to well under 7.4% per year, which means the latest 12 months outpaced the longer trend rather than trailing it. These are historical figures as of April 30, 2026, not a forecast.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 51 single-family homes sold in Dousman, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $475,000. Half of those sales fell between $209,950 and $647,500. Source: Wisconsin Department of Revenue real estate transfer returns, compiled by Sawar Homes — every recorded sale, including for-sale-by-owner and builder-direct transactions that never appear in the MLS.
Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Dousman is $498,309, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $475,000 — a difference of -4.7%. These measure different things, and neither is wrong: the index estimates the value of every home whether or not it sold, while the sale figure reflects only the homes that changed hands, which usually skew toward the more affordable end of the market.
For buyers targeting Waukesha County below the county median, Dousman makes a short, numbers-defined list: $498,309 typical value against a $534,102 county median. Because North Prairie and Mukwonago price within $1,400 of the same figure, all three markets are natural to shop side by side. Keep the recent 7.4% one-year move in mind when comparing older listings and comps.
Sellers hold a market that added 28% over five years and 7.4% in the past 12 months. Pricing against that momentum — current comps rather than year-old ones — matters most where three neighboring markets cluster at nearly the same typical value. Past appreciation does not guarantee future results; a current comparative market analysis is the right pricing tool.
The Glacial Drumlin State Trail runs through the middle of Dousman on its route between Waukesha and the Madison area, making the village a regular stop for cyclists. Cory Park anchors community events with its ballfields and festival grounds, and the Kettle Moraine State Forest's Southern Unit and Ottawa Lake Recreation Area lie a few miles southwest along Highway 67.
