West Bend is moving faster than its price tag suggests. Home values rose 6.8% in the past year — and typical rent jumped 13.4% — yet the city still ranks 14 of 15 Washington County municipalities by typical value, at $357,962 as of April 30, 2026.
The discount is the widest in this guide series for Washington County: about $110,000 (23.5%) below the county median of $468,207, and about $98,000 below the seven-county regional median of $455,834. Five-year appreciation stands at 36.1%.
Rental data is available here: typical rent is $1,149 per month, producing a gross rent yield of 3.85% against the typical home value.
West Bend's $357,962 typical value prices under every nearby comp in this dataset — Kewaskum ($365,413), Hartford ($382,565), and Jackson ($426,328) — with only Newburg ($349,843) close below. Being second-lowest of 15 in a county with the region's highest median means West Bend functions as one of Washington County's primary lower-priced entry points.
The two ZIP codes split the market. ZIP 53095 shows a typical value of $404,418 with $1,130 typical rent; ZIP 53090 shows $369,913 with $2,163 typical rent. That is a striking inversion — the lower-value ZIP records the far higher rent — and it matters for anyone underwriting a rental in one ZIP using figures from the other.
Momentum is the other headline. One-year value growth of 6.8% is the fastest among the Washington County markets in this dataset, and 13.4% rent growth is an outsized single-year move. Whether either pace continues is unknowable from this data; past growth does not guarantee future results.
| ZIP code | Typical home value | 1-year change | Typical rent |
|---|---|---|---|
| 53095 | $404,418 | +7.6% | $1,130/mo |
| 53090 | $369,913 | +7.7% | $2,163/mo |
| Homes sold (arms-length, single-family) | 550 |
|---|---|
| Median sale price | $310,000 |
| Middle 50% of sales | $230,000 to $385,000 |
| Government-backed financing (FHA/VA/USDA) | 3.5% |
| Seller-financed | 0.5% |
Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 550 single-family homes sold in West Bend, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $310,000. Half of those sales fell between $230,000 and $385,000. 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 West Bend is $357,962, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $310,000 — a difference of -13.4%. 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, West Bend combines the deepest county discount in this dataset — $110,000 under the Washington County median — with the county's fastest one-year appreciation at 6.8%. That mix rewards acting on current comps: a market repricing at nearly 7% a year can make months-old comparables stale. The ZIP split matters too, since 53095 ($404,418) runs about $34,000 above 53090 ($369,913) on typical value.
For sellers, 6.8% one-year and 36.1% five-year appreciation are the strongest pricing tailwinds among the Washington County markets covered here. Rental-side numbers add a second buyer pool: 13.4% one-year rent growth and a 3.85% gross yield citywide — with ZIP 53090 showing $2,163 typical rent — can bring investors to the table. Strong recent data supports firm pricing, but no trend guarantees a specific sale price or timeline.
West Bend anchors Washington County with a riverfront downtown, the Museum of Wisconsin Art, and the Eisenbahn State Trail running north–south through town. Big-box convenience lives on the south side; kettle moraine hiking is minutes east.
