Sharon is Walworth County's price floor. At a typical home value of $311,513 as of April 30, 2026, it ranks 21st of 21 municipalities in the county — the least expensive market on the county's ladder, $134,556 below the county median of $446,069.
It is also one of the slower-moving markets in the area's data. Values rose 2.5% over the past year and 23.6% over five years. Compare that with next-door Genoa City, priced almost identically at $312,670 but up 7.4% in a year and 42.8% in five — two villages at the same price point on very different trajectories.
Sharon does come with rental data, which many small Walworth County markets lack. Typical rent is $1,193 per month, producing a gross rent yield of 4.6% against the typical home value.
The value gap here is stark in every direction. Sharon sits $134,556 under the Walworth County median, $144,321 under the seven-county regional median of $455,834, and $24,000 to $35,000 under nearby Delavan ($336,413), Darien ($346,181), and Whitewater ($346,189). Only Genoa City, at $312,670, prices within about $1,000 of it.
ZIP 53585, which covers Sharon, shows a typical value of $300,808 and typical rent of $1,185 — both slightly below the village-level figures. For investors, the 4.6% gross yield is the working number: roughly $14,300 in annual rent at the typical rent level against a $311,513 typical value, before expenses. Yield is a snapshot, not a promise, and gross figures exclude taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
The 2.5% one-year gain trails the growth posted by most nearby markets in this data. Slower appreciation cuts both ways: less urgency for buyers, less pricing tailwind for sellers.
| ZIP code | Typical home value | 1-year change | Typical rent |

| 53585 | $300,808 | +2.8% | $1,185/mo |
| Homes sold (arms-length, single-family) | 24 |

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 24 single-family homes sold in Sharon, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $200,500. Half of those sales fell between $63,750 and $254,750. 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 Sharon during this window, so these figures move a lot year to year.
Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Sharon is $311,513, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $200,500 — a difference of -35.6%. 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: no municipality in Walworth County has a lower typical value than Sharon's $311,513. If maximizing square footage per dollar within the county is the goal, this is where the search bottoms out — 30% under the county median. The slower 2.5% annual appreciation also means the market has not been running away from buyers the way faster nearby villages have. Investors get a rare data point for a market this size: $1,193 typical rent and a 4.6% gross yield.
For sellers: the honest read is that Sharon's 23.6% five-year growth trails the pace of comparable nearby markets, so pricing needs to lean on recent local comps rather than county-wide trends. The counterpoint is scarcity of competition at this price point — Sharon and Genoa City are the only two Walworth County municipalities with typical values under $330,000, so a well-prepared listing here faces a thin field among county buyers shopping below that line.
Sharon sits on the Illinois state line in the county's southwest corner, with a historic downtown of brick storefronts along Baldwin Street. Flat, lightly traveled farm roads fan out from the village in every direction, and Highway 67 connects north to Walworth and the Geneva Lake communities.
