The typical home in Lyons, Wisconsin is worth about $441,906 as of 2026-07-03, up 5.5% over the past year and up 39.8% over five years. Source: Zillow Home Value Index, compiled by Sawar Homes.
The headline number in Lyons is 39.8% — the town's five-year home value growth through April 30, 2026. A home typically valued around $316,000 five years ago carries a typical value of $441,906 today.
Despite that run, Lyons still prices under its county: about $4,200 below the $446,069 Walworth County median, ranking 12 of 21 municipalities.
The past year added 5.5%, so appreciation continued into the most recent data — though at a slower rate than the roughly 6.9% compounded annual pace implied by the five-year figure.
Lyons sits one rung below the county's midpoint. Richmond, the municipality that defines the Walworth County median at $446,069, is directly above it. Lake Geneva city ($419,961) and Walworth village ($407,460) price lower; Lafayette ($470,702) prices about $28,800 higher. Against the seven-county region, Lyons runs about $13,900 under the $455,834 median.
The growth profile deserves emphasis. Nearly 40% appreciation in five years means comparables age quickly here — a sale from two or three years ago tells you little about today's values. The 5.5% one-year change shows the trend intact but moderating. None of this predicts what comes next.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 62 single-family homes sold in Lyons, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $225,000. Half of those sales fell between $114,225 and $554,750.

Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Lyons is $441,906, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $225,000 — a difference of -49.1%. 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 near-median Walworth County pricing in Lyons, at $441,906 against a $446,069 county median. The practical implication of the 39.8% five-year run is to lean on the newest sale data available when evaluating a list price — older comps will systematically understate the market. Budget-sensitive buyers can note that Walworth village typically runs about $34,400 less.
Sellers in Lyons have one of the stronger equity stories in the county's data: a typical home gained roughly $126,000 in value over five years. The moderation to 5.5% in the past year argues against pricing far ahead of recent closings, however. Strong past appreciation is a fact about the past; it does not guarantee a future sale price.
Lyons follows the White River valley between Lake Geneva and Burlington, with the crushed-limestone White River State Trail crossing the town for biking and hiking and White River County Park preserving riverside parkland off Sheridan Springs Road. The historic hamlet of Lyons anchors the town with a cluster of taverns and the Ye Olde Hotel supper club along the river.
