Walworth County's median home value is $446,069. The Town of Sugar Creek comes in at $388,618 — roughly $57,000 (12.9%) less. That discount is the defining number for this market: Sugar Creek ranks 15 of 21 Walworth County municipalities by typical value, in a county where lake-adjacent markets pull the median up.
Growth has been steady rather than dramatic. Values rose 4.7% over the past year and 36.2% over five years, measured as of April 30, 2026.
Geographically, Sugar Creek prices below its higher-value neighbors — Lake Geneva ($419,961) and the Village of Walworth ($407,460) — but clearly above Elkhorn ($348,465) and Whitewater ($346,189). It occupies the middle rung of its immediate area.
At $388,618, Sugar Creek also sits about $67,000 below the seven-county regional median of $455,834. For a Walworth County address, that is a meaningful amount of price relief relative to both the county and the wider Southeast Wisconsin region.
The town's one ZIP in this dataset, 53121, shows a typical value of $394,872 — a touch above the town-wide figure. No rent data is available for Sugar Creek at either the town or ZIP level, so rental yield cannot be assessed from this dataset.
The five-year trajectory of 36.2% implies a faster average annual pace than the most recent year's 4.7%, pointing to some cooling from the earlier rate of appreciation. As always, past performance does not guarantee future results.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 74 single-family homes sold in Sugar Creek, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $310,000. Half of those sales fell between $110,000 and $400,000. 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 Sugar Creek is $388,618, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $310,000 — a difference of -20.2%. 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.
Buyers weighing Walworth County options can read Sugar Creek as the sub-$400,000 alternative in a county whose median clears $446,000. The $57,000 gap to the county median — and the $67,000 gap to the regional median — is real budget headroom, and the nearest comps run from Whitewater at $346,189 up to Lake Geneva at $419,961, so there is a full price ladder within a short radius.
Sellers in Sugar Creek are working with five years of 36.2% cumulative appreciation and a market that still prices under its county median, which can support demand from value-focused buyers. The most recent year's 4.7% gain is the more relevant benchmark for near-term pricing than the five-year figure. Data-driven comps against Elkhorn, Walworth, and Lake Geneva help position a listing correctly; no pricing strategy guarantees a specific outcome.
Sugar Creek is glacial farm country just northwest of Elkhorn, where Lake Wandawega has a public boat landing for fishing and paddling and the National Register-listed Camp Wandawega retreat occupies its shoreline. U.S. 12 crosses the town on its way between Elkhorn and Whitewater, keeping both within an easy drive.
The typical home value in the Town of Sugar Creek is $388,618 as of April 30, 2026. ZIP 53121 shows a similar typical value of $394,872.
