Five-year growth is the headline in the town of Geneva: the typical home value has climbed 41.1% over that span, reaching $483,178 as of April 30, 2026. Few figures in this data set say more about where demand has gone.
The past 12 months tell a calmer story — up 4.2%, a slower clip than the average annual pace implied by the five-year run. Geneva ranks eighth of 21 Walworth County municipalities by typical value and prices about $37,100 over the county median of $446,069.
Its immediate price company: Bloomfield ($515,928) above, East Troy ($478,027) and Lafayette ($470,702) just below, and Richmond ($446,069) sitting right at the county median.
Against its benchmarks, Geneva holds premiums on both: roughly 8% over the Walworth County median and about $27,300 over the seven-county regional median of $455,834. An eighth-of-21 county rank puts it in the upper half of the county's price ladder, below the county's top tier of values.
The growth split — 41.1% over five years versus 4.2% in the latest year — shows a market whose strongest recorded gains came earlier in the five-year window. That is an observation about the data through April 30, 2026, not a prediction of where values head next.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 217 single-family homes sold in Geneva, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $383,000. Half of those sales fell between $260,000 and $699,900.

Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Geneva is $483,178, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $383,000 — a difference of -20.7%. 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.
Buyers comparing the town of Geneva to its neighbors have three markets within about $13,000 of its typical value: East Troy at $478,027, Lafayette at $470,702, and Geneva itself at $483,178. With one-year appreciation at 4.2%, the recent data shows more modest movement than the five-year figure alone would suggest — worth remembering when a listing's price references multi-year gains.
Sellers can point to a 41.1% five-year gain, among the more substantial appreciation figures in Walworth County's data, but the 4.2% one-year change argues for pricing off current comparable sales rather than extrapolating the five-year trend. Strong past appreciation does not guarantee future results.
The Town of Geneva surrounds Lake Como and stretches along the Highway 50 corridor between the city of Lake Geneva and Delavan. Housing ranges from cottages on Como's north and south shores to the fairway neighborhoods of Geneva National, whose golf courses were designed by Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Lee Trevino, and the resort amenities of Lake Geneva's downtown are minutes away by car.
The typical home value is $483,178 as of April 30, 2026, ranking eighth of Walworth County's 21 municipalities.
41.1% over the past five years, and 4.2% in the 12 months ending April 30, 2026. Past gains do not guarantee future performance.
