The typical home in Fox Point, Wisconsin is worth about $563,741 as of 2026-07-03, up 5.5% over the past year and up 22.0% over five years. Source: Zillow Home Value Index, compiled by Sawar Homes.

Three North Shore villages are separated by about $2,600 in this data, and Fox Point is the third of them: a typical home value of $563,741 as of April 30, 2026, against Bayside's $564,748 and Shorewood's $566,374. It ranks fifth of Milwaukee County's 19 municipalities.

Where Fox Point diverges is pace. Its five-year growth of 22.0% is the slowest of the three villages (Bayside 27.4%, Shorewood 25.1%), yet the most recent year came in at 5.5% — right between its neighbors' 5.1% and 5.9%. The gap, in other words, formed earlier in the five-year window and has not been widening lately.

The village's premium over Milwaukee County's $394,258 median is about $169,500, or 43% — nearly identical to Bayside's and Shorewood's premiums, because the three values themselves are nearly identical.

The Fox Point market in detail

Fox Point's $563,741 stands roughly $107,900 above the seven-county region median of $455,834 — about 24% — and $169,500 above the county median. Fifth of 19 is the formal rank; functionally, the village prices in a three-way near-tie with Shorewood and Bayside.

ZIP 53217 posts a typical value of $570,687 — about $7,000 above the village-wide figure — and a typical rent of $2,028 per month. No village-level rent figure exists in this data set, so the ZIP rent is the closest available reference for income modeling, with the caveat that ZIP and village boundaries are not the same lines.

The 22.0% five-year figure annualizes to roughly 4.1%; last year's 5.5% ran ahead of that. Whether the above-trend year continues is unknowable from the data. What the data does show is a market that lagged its nearest peers over five years while matching them over one.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 109 single-family homes sold in Fox Point, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $585,000. Half of those sales fell between $410,000 and $815,000. 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 Fox Point is $563,741, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $585,000 — a difference of +3.8%. 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.

Buying and selling in Fox Point

If relative value within the North Shore cluster matters to a buyer, Fox Point's numbers make a specific case: it prices $1,000–$2,600 under Bayside and Shorewood while having appreciated 3 to 5 points less over five years — the closest thing to a discount the data shows in this trio, though at this scale a modest one. Budget against the $563,741 village typical value and the ZIP 53217 figure of $570,687.

Sellers work with a 43% county premium, a fifth-place rank, and a recent-year gain of 5.5% that outpaced Bayside's 5.1%. The five-year figure (22.0%) is the softer stat in the set, so listings are better anchored to current comps and the recent year's momentum than to five-year narratives. As always, past appreciation does not guarantee what the next buyer's market will look like.
