A roughly $103,000 discount to the county median is the number that defines Kewaskum. The village's typical home value is $365,413 as of April 30, 2026 — about 22% below Washington County's median of $468,207. That ranks 13 of 15 county municipalities by typical value.

Appreciation has been solid: 4.9% over the past year and 30.5% over five years. The five-year figure is the most modest among Kewaskum's immediate Washington County comps in this dataset, though it still represents substantial cumulative growth.

Kewaskum also prices about $90,000 under the seven-county regional median of $455,834. In a county whose median is the region's highest, Kewaskum is one of the few sub-$370,000 typical values.

The Kewaskum market in detail

Locally, Kewaskum at $365,413 sits between West Bend ($357,962) and Newburg ($349,843) on the low side and Hartford ($382,565) and Jackson ($426,328) above. The four nearest comps span roughly $76,000, so Kewaskum's position near the middle of that band gives it clear reference points.

ZIP 53040 tells a slightly different story than the village-wide figure: its typical value is $395,995, about $31,000 higher. Buyers and sellers should be aware that the ZIP boundary captures a broader — and pricier — footprint than the village line.

No rent or yield data is available for Kewaskum in this dataset. On growth, the 30.5% five-year gain averaged a faster annual pace than the latest year's 4.9%, consistent with a market that has cooled from its earlier rate. Past growth does not guarantee future results.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 94 single-family homes sold in Kewaskum, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $330,000. Half of those sales fell between $269,000 and $379,850. 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 Kewaskum is $365,413, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $330,000 — a difference of -9.7%. 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.

Buying and selling in Kewaskum

For buyers, Kewaskum's math is straightforward: a typical home costs about $103,000 less than the Washington County median and about $90,000 less than the regional median. Among the village's direct comps, only West Bend and Newburg price lower. The gap between the village-wide typical value ($365,413) and ZIP 53040 ($395,995) means the specific location matters — a budget that works village-wide may be tight in parts of the ZIP.

For sellers, the case rests on steady appreciation — 4.9% in the past year, 30.5% over five — and a price point that undercuts most of the county. Listings here can draw buyers comparison-shopping against Hartford ($382,565) and Jackson ($426,328), where similar budgets buy less. Pricing should lean on current local comps rather than county-wide figures, and no historical trend guarantees a future result.
