Limited inventory keeps the local housing market moving

Homes farther inland are usually midcentury split-level and ranch-style homes, with prices ranging from the low $300,000s to the low $500,000s. Some of the village’s most desirable and expensive properties are custom-built lake houses, often with private docks and prices that can climb as high as $1.2 million. Condos and duplexes are also common, generally selling anywhere from the high $100,000s to the low $700,000s depending on size and community amenities.

Pewaukee Village has a competitive housing market with limited inventory. “There are a lot of people who want to buy here,” says Jennifer Roach, owner of Bluebell Realty, who adds, “Houses sell pretty fast.” The average value of a Pewaukee Village home is in the mid-$400,000s, which is generally lower than in nearby communities like Lisbon, Pewaukee and Sussex, but higher than Waukesha.
