Lake Geneva, WI Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

If you invest in or around Lake Geneva, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Lake Geneva sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, as of October 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 210
• •Median sold price, last 12 months: $390,243
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $265
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $265,000 and $590,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 210 closed sales in Lake Geneva over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $390,243. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $265,000 and $590,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 190 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $217 and $318 per square foot.

Where Lake Geneva sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Lake Geneva over the last 12 months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $265,000 and $590,000. Among the 39 Wisconsin markets with a published band, Lake Geneva's middle-half spread ($265,000 to $590,000) ranks 38th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 73 days, across 66 Lake Geneva closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 18 days, across 57 Lake Geneva closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months

Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 210 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Lake Geneva angle

Lake Geneva closed 210 tracked sales over the last 12 months at a median of $390,243, with the middle half of closings falling between $265,000 and $590,000. A below-median estimate is therefore not automatically conservative in Lake Geneva; it can still miss by a wide margin. Treat the median as a centerline rather than a value, and support any estimate with closed sales that resemble the subject on the attributes that matter to price.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Lake Geneva address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Lake Geneva over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Lake Geneva city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 18% of the 210 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $417,000.
