The typical home in Jackson, Wisconsin is worth about $426,328 as of 2026-07-03, up 5.2% over the past year and up 34.1% over five years. Source: Zillow Home Value Index, compiled by Sawar Homes.
By the numbers, Jackson is Washington County's value entry point among its peer villages: a $426,328 typical home value that runs $41,879 — about 8.9% — below the county's $468,207 median, even after growing 34.1% over five years.
The past year added 5.2%. In dollars, that is roughly $21,000 of appreciation on a typical home through April 30, 2026.
Jackson ranks 11 of 15 municipalities in the county and prices about $29,500 under the seven-county regional median of $455,834 — a below-median market in both its county and its region, with an above-trend growth record behind it.
The peer spread around Jackson is wide. Hartford city prices below it at $382,565. Above it: Addison at $447,912, Germantown at $462,771, and Barton at the county median of $468,207. Jackson fills the gap between Hartford and the county's mid-pack, roughly $36,400 under Germantown.
Growth has been strong and reasonably steady. The 34.1% five-year figure implies about 6.0% per year compounded, and the most recent year's 5.2% lands just under that pace — continued appreciation at a slightly moderating rate, as of the April 2026 data. Past performance is not a prediction.
ZIP 53037 shows a typical value of $415,194, about $11,100 below the village-wide figure — worth checking against any specific listing's location.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 192 single-family homes sold in Jackson, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $363,966. Half of those sales fell between $300,000 and $449,925. 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 Jackson is $426,328, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $363,966 — a difference of -14.6%. 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 Washington County access at a discount in Jackson: $426,328 typical value versus $468,207 for the county and $462,771 in neighboring Germantown. At the recent 5.2% pace, that discount was not shrinking the affordability of waiting — a typical home gained about $21,000 in the past year — so pre-approval and a defined budget matter before touring. Trends can change, and none of this guarantees where prices go next.
Sellers in Jackson hold five years of 34.1% appreciation, and the below-county-median price point keeps the village visible to buyers priced out of Germantown and Barton. The pricing anchor should be recent Jackson and ZIP 53037 sales rather than county figures that run $41,900 higher. A data-grounded list price, not an aspirational one, is what the current numbers support.
Jackson sits where Highway 60 meets the US 45 corridor in central Washington County, roughly midway between West Bend and Milwaukee's northwest suburbs. Daily life centers on the village park system, Hickory Lane Park and the Jackson Community Center, while the wooded wetlands of the Jackson Marsh State Wildlife Area spread out just northwest of the village for hiking and birdwatching.
