This pass found Zillow itself reporting two distinct figures: an average home value of $389,530 (up 1.4% YoY) and a separately cited typical home value of $321,514 (up 7.3% YoY) -- a real, disclosed divergence even within a single data provider.
A volatile median sale price, likely a small-sample effect
Redfin's own median sale price ran $274,000, down a real, volatile 39.2% YoY -- almost certainly reflecting Sturgeon Bay's small monthly sales sample and shifting sale mix (a handful of waterfront or second-home sales can swing a small city's median sharply) rather than a genuine market collapse.
A real gap between sale and list prices
The median list (asking) price ran $549,000 in May 2026 -- a real, disclosed gap above the sale-price figures, likely reflecting aspirational Door County waterfront and vacation-property listings distinct from the broader resident housing stock.
Key takeaways
- Zillow itself reported two distinct figures this pass ($321,514 and $389,530) for Sturgeon Bay home values.
- Redfin's -39.2% YoY median sale price figure likely reflects small-sample volatility, not a market collapse.
- The $549,000 median list price runs well above sale-price figures, reflecting Door County vacation listings.
- Confirm current, address-specific pricing directly given this pass's disclosed, unusually wide spread.
