By typical home value, the Village of Pewaukee is the second-least-expensive tracked municipality in Waukesha County — 26 of 27 — at $404,276 as of April 30, 2026. Set that against the county median of $534,102 and the gap is $129,826, the widest county discount in this batch of guides.

This is specifically the village's data. The typical village home is also priced about $51,558 under the seven-county Southeast Wisconsin regional median of $455,834.

Appreciation here has been the most gradual among nearby tracked markets' recent figures: 4.7% over the past year and 24.3% over five years. Steady, positive, and unhurried.

The Pewaukee market in detail

Every nearby tracked peer prices above the village. Big Bend is closest at $406,371 — a $2,095 difference — followed by the City of Waukesha at $425,391, Menomonee Falls at $443,289, and New Berlin at $460,241. Within this peer set, the village is the entry point.

The growth profile is worth reading carefully. A 24.3% five-year gain means a home typically worth about $325,000 in 2021 is worth $404,276 today. The most recent year contributed 4.7% of that — roughly $18,000 on a typical home — so momentum is present but muted compared with markets posting 8-10% annually elsewhere in the region.

No separate ZIP-level value series is tracked for the village, so the villagewide figure of $404,276 is the working benchmark for this market.

Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Pewaukee is $404,276, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $375,000 — a difference of -7.2%. 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 Pewaukee

Buyers get the clearest version of the Waukesha County affordability trade here: the lowest typical value among the village's tracked peer group, $129,826 under the county median, with growth moderate enough (4.7% annually) that a few months of searching does not dramatically move the target. Homes priced near the $404,276 typical value will still draw the county's budget-conscious demand, so preparation matters even in a slower-growth market.

Sellers should anchor expectations to the 4.7% one-year trend rather than to headline county figures — the county median of $534,102 reflects much higher-priced municipalities and is not a comp for a village listing. The stronger selling angle is scarcity: within its tracked peer set, no nearby municipality offers a lower typical value, which keeps the buyer pool for well-presented village listings consistently supplied. Five-year owners are working from a 24.3% cumulative gain.

Life in Pewaukee
