Zillow's own average Kenosha city home value ran $273,053 as of March 31, 2026 -- up a real 5.8% year-over-year -- broadly consistent with a separately-cited Redfin median sale price of $280,000 as of November 2025, up 6.5% year-over-year.

Kenosha County's Own Figures Carry a Real, Disclosed Contradiction
