The typical home in Dover, Wisconsin is worth about $490,873 as of 2026-07-03, up 1.1% over the past year and up 19.4% over five years. Source: Zillow Home Value Index, compiled by Sawar Homes.
The number that stands out in Dover is 1.1% — that is all the typical home value moved in the 12 months ending April 30, 2026. Over five years the town gained 19.4%, so the past year was quiet even by Dover's own longer-run standard.
Flat is not the same as inexpensive. Dover's typical value of $490,873 ranks fourth of 14 Racine County municipalities and runs about $71,500 above the county median of $419,415 — a premium of roughly 17%. Against the seven-county regional median of $455,834, the premium is about $35,000.
The neighboring price ladder frames Dover clearly: Norway ($541,931), Yorkville ($527,580), and Raymond ($504,274) sit above it, while Waterford village ($445,177) sits well below.
Dover pairs a high county rank with the softest recent trend in its own record: fourth of 14 by typical value, yet only a 1.1% one-year change. The five-year gain of 19.4% averages out to just under 4% per year, so even the longer trend here has been measured rather than steep.
Relative value is the other half of the story. At $490,873, Dover prices about 17% over the Racine County median — a meaningful premium in a county where the median is $419,415. All figures are as of April 30, 2026 and describe what has happened, not what will.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 34 single-family homes sold in Dover, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $372,375. Half of those sales fell between $316,225 and $632,500. 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 Dover is $490,873, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $372,375 — a difference of -24.1%. 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.
Buyers get an unusual data picture in Dover: a top-third Racine County price point where the typical value barely moved over the past year. That recent flatness means fresh comps and current list-to-value relationships matter more than trend extrapolation — and it is history, not a promise that prices will stay put.
Sellers in Dover should anchor to the town's standing rather than to momentum: fourth of 14 in the county and roughly $71,500 above the county median, but with only 1.1% one-year appreciation behind them. Pricing tight to current comparable sales, rather than adding a trend premium, is what this data set supports. No pricing strategy guarantees a particular outcome.
The Town of Dover is open farm country in western Racine County centered on Eagle Lake, where a county park offers a boat launch and lakeside green space. The crossroads hamlet of Kansasville sits at its heart, Highway 11 runs east toward Racine and west toward Burlington, and the trails and fishing waters of Richard Bong State Recreation Area lie just south of the Kansasville crossroads.
