The typical home in Paris, Wisconsin is worth about $558,618 as of 2026-07-03, up 7.1% over the past year and up 36.4% over five years. Source: Zillow Home Value Index, compiled by Sawar Homes.
The town of Paris is a growth story by the numbers: values rose 7.1% in the past year alone and 36.4% over five years, reaching a typical home value of $558,618 as of April 30, 2026.
That value ranks second of Kenosha County's 11 municipalities and stands roughly $108,400 — 24% — above the county median of $450,257. It also clears the seven-county southeast Wisconsin median of $455,834 by about $102,800.
The recent year did not just extend the five-year trend — it beat it. The 36.4% five-year gain implies an annualized pace of about 6.4%; the latest twelve months came in at 7.1%. Momentum, at least through April 2026, was still building.
Kenosha County's top tier by typical value runs Brighton ($625,333), then Paris ($558,618), then a sizable step down to Randall ($480,065), Pleasant Prairie ($468,325), and Bristol ($455,834). The roughly $78,500 gap from Paris down to Randall makes Paris and Brighton a distinct price tier within the county.
The growth arithmetic is striking at this price level: a 7.1% one-year gain translates to roughly $37,000 added to the typical value in twelve months, and the 36.4% five-year figure implies a starting point near $410,000 at the beginning of the window.
No rent or ZIP-level data is available for Paris in this data set, so the value series is the whole picture: second in the county, a 24% county premium, and recent growth running above its own five-year average. Those facts describe the market as it stood in April 2026 — they do not predict the next year.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 14 single-family homes sold in Paris, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $447,500. Half of those sales fell between $187,475 and $660,750. 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.
Small sample: fewer than 30 recorded sales in Paris during this window, so these figures move a lot year to year.
Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Paris is $558,618, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $447,500 — a difference of -19.9%. 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.
For buyers, the math on waiting has been unkind recently: 7.1% appreciation added about $37,000 to the typical value in a single year. That is history, not destiny — fast-moving markets are not guaranteed to keep their pace, and a one-year figure above the five-year average can normalize. What buyers can plan on is the price tier: Paris and Brighton price roughly $78,000 to $145,000 above the rest of Kenosha County's municipalities in this data.
Sellers in Paris can document 7.1% one-year and 36.4% five-year appreciation — growth running ahead of its own five-year average — plus a second-place value rank in an 11-municipality county. Buyers stepping up from Pleasant Prairie or Bristol face a roughly $90,000 to $103,000 jump to the Paris typical value, so realistic pricing keeps that step-up buyer in play. Strong past data supports confident pricing; it does not guarantee any individual outcome.
Paris remains almost entirely working farmland, a quiet grid of town roads and large-lot rural homes where Highways 45 and 142 cross. The I-94 corridor runs along the town's eastern side, so Kenosha's job centers and the Milwaukee and Chicago routes stay close despite the open-country setting.
$558,618 as of April 30, 2026, for the town of Paris in Kenosha County — second of the county's 11 municipalities by typical value.
7.1% over the past year and 36.4% over five years. The one-year pace ran ahead of the roughly 6.4% annualized five-year average, though past appreciation does not guarantee future results.
Yes by the data — about $108,400 above the county median of $450,257, second only to Brighton ($625,333) among the county's 11 municipalities.
Paris's typical value of $558,618 runs about $90,000 — roughly 19% — above Pleasant Prairie's $468,325.
