The typical home in Somers, Wisconsin is worth about $392,072 as of 2026-07-03, up 10.2% over the past year and up 37.0% over five years. Source: Zillow Home Value Index, compiled by Sawar Homes.
Two numbers make Somers stand out in Kenosha County's data: 10.2% one-year appreciation and a 6.64% gross rent yield. The typical home value reached $392,072 as of April 30, 2026 — meaning a typical home gained roughly $36,000 in twelve months — while typical rent of $2,169 per month is high relative to that price.
Despite the momentum, Somers still prices low for its county. It ranks 8 of 11 tracked Kenosha County municipalities by typical value, $58,185 under the county median of $450,257 and $63,762 under the seven-county regional median of $455,834.
Five-year growth totals 37%, and the past year's 10.2% shows the pace accelerating rather than fading through the most recent data.
Within western and central Kenosha County, Somers at $392,072 sits above Salem Lakes ($374,483) but below Twin Lakes ($408,283), Wheatland ($450,257), and Bristol ($455,834). The below-median price paired with the county's data on rents is what separates Somers from those peers: at $2,169 typical rent, the gross yield of 6.64% is the highest in this set of guides.
ZIP-level data reveals real internal spread. ZIP 53144 shows a typical value of $326,727 with $1,938 rent — $65,345 below the villagewide typical value. Somers spans areas with meaningfully different price points, so villagewide averages should be checked against the specific location of any listing.
The growth picture is unambiguous in the data: 37% over five years, 10.2% in the most recent year. No figure in this guide predicts what comes next, but the recent trajectory has been among the steepest in the county's tracked markets.
| ZIP code | Typical home value | 1-year change | Typical rent |
|---|---|---|---|
| 53144 | $326,727 | +6.7% | $1,938/mo |
| Homes sold (arms-length, single-family) | 96 |
|---|---|
| Median sale price | $329,500 |
| Middle 50% of sales | $236,875 to $426,250 |

| Seller-financed | 1% |
Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 96 single-family homes sold in Somers, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $329,500. Half of those sales fell between $236,875 and $426,250. 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.
Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Somers is $392,072, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $329,500 — a difference of -16%. 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 face a fast market: at 10.2% annual appreciation, hesitation carries a measurable cost — roughly $3,000 per month of delay on a typical home at the recent pace. The counterweight is entry price, still $58,185 under the county median. Investor-minded buyers will note the 6.64% gross yield on $2,169 typical rent, with the standard caveats: gross yield ignores taxes, insurance, maintenance, and vacancy, and no yield figure guarantees future returns. ZIP 53144's lower typical value ($326,727) offers a lower-priced path into the same village.
Sellers in Somers are pricing into the strongest recent tailwind in this guide set — 10.2% in one year — so comps from even nine months ago likely understate current value. The rental data adds a second buyer pool: at a 6.64% gross yield, listings here can pencil for income buyers in a way most Southeast Wisconsin markets cannot, broadening demand beyond owner-occupants. Because values differ sharply by area within the village (villagewide $392,072 versus $326,727 in ZIP 53144), an address-specific analysis matters more here than in most markets.
Somers spans the gap between Kenosha and the Racine County line, reaching from inland farm fields to a stretch of Lake Michigan shore. At its center, Petrifying Springs Park layers wooded ravines, the Pike River, and a busy Biergarten, with trails linking into the adjacent UW-Parkside campus and the Pike River Pathway.

The typical home value in the Village of Somers is $392,072 as of April 30, 2026. Within ZIP 53144, the typical value is lower at $326,727, so location within the village matters.
The data shows a strong income profile on paper: typical rent of $2,169 per month against a $392,072 typical value is a 6.64% gross yield ($1,938 rent on a $326,727 typical value in ZIP 53144). Gross yield excludes taxes, insurance, maintenance, and vacancy, and past figures do not guarantee future returns.
Values rose 10.2% over the past year — among the fastest paces in Kenosha County's tracked markets — and 37% over five years as of April 30, 2026. That history is not a prediction of future performance.
Yes. Somers ranks 8 of 11 tracked county municipalities by typical value, about $58,185 under the county median of $450,257.
