Norway holds the top of the Racine County value table. Its typical home value of $541,931 as of April 30, 2026 ranks 1 of 14 municipalities in the county — $122,516 above the county median of $419,415, a premium of about 29%.

The gap to the rest of the county is not close. The nearest peer by value, Yorkville, sits at $527,580 — about $14,400 back — followed by Raymond at $504,274, Dover at $490,873, and Waterford at $445,177. Norway is also roughly 19% above the seven-county regional median of $455,834.

Growth has been steady rather than explosive: 5.7% over the past year and 32.2% over five years.

The Norway market in detail

Being first of 14 means Norway prices against a county where the typical municipality trades near $419,415 — so a Norway buyer is paying a six-figure premium to the county norm. That premium is the defining economic fact of this market. Within its own tier, though, competition exists: Yorkville and Raymond both clear $500,000, so Norway's top rank rests on a margin of about 3% over its closest rival.

The trajectory is consistent. Five-year growth of 32.2% implies a simple average of about 6.4 points per year, and the trailing year came in at 5.7% — close to trend, neither accelerating nor stalling. Markets rarely stay this on-pace, and nothing in a snapshot guarantees the pattern continues.

No ZIP-level value or rent data is available for the town of Norway in this dataset, so the municipal figure is the working number.

What actually sold in Norway (12 months ending June 2026)

Homes sold (arms-length, single-family)98

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 98 single-family homes sold in Norway, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $445,000. Half of those sales fell between $332,500 and $623,750.

Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Norway is $541,931, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $445,000 — a difference of -17.9%. 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 Norway

Buyers should understand what the rank means in dollars: the typical Norway home costs $122,516 more than the Racine County median. If the goal is Racine County at a lower entry point, the data offers nearby alternatives — Dover at $490,873 or Waterford at $445,177 — at 9% to 18% less than Norway's typical value. If the goal is Norway specifically, the 5.7% one-year gain says the price of waiting has been real but not extreme.

Sellers own the county's top-ranked market by typical value, and the five-year record — 32.2% — supports pricing with confidence. The check on that confidence is Yorkville at $527,580: buyers shopping the top of Racine County have a well-priced alternative about $14,000 below Norway's typical figure. Pricing that acknowledges the alternative tends to hold up better than pricing that ignores it. Past appreciation does not guarantee a sale price.

Life in Norway

The community of Wind Lake along Highway 36 handles day-to-day errands on the drive toward Milwaukee's southwest suburbs, and Heg Memorial Park preserves the site of one of America's earliest Norwegian settlements with a museum and picnic grounds.
