Mount Pleasant, told straight. By the numbers.
Mount Pleasant single-family in May 2026: the fastest-growing market in southeastern Wisconsin. YTD volume is up 61%. Foxconn-corridor demand is real and measurable.
Where the market sits, may 2026.
Mount Pleasant median came in at $417,886 in May — the highest in Racine County by a wide margin, driven by new subdivision activity.
Sale-to-list ratio at 101.1%. Slightly over asking on the typical close. The mix is dominated by new construction, which trades closer to list than resale.
Median CDOM at 57 days. The longest of any market I cover — but it's a feature, not a bug. New construction takes time from contract to close.
Absorption at 1.7 months. Looks loose, but pre-construction inventory throws off the math. The active market is meaningfully tighter than this number suggests.

The fastest-growing market in the region — by a wide margin.
Mount Pleasant is the standout growth story in the data. YTD volume is up 61.3% — closing 121 homes against 75 by this point in 2025. Every price band over $200K is positive YTD: $200K–$300K up 67%, $300K–$400K up 128%, $400K–$500K up 27%, $500K–$650K up 33%, and the $650K–$800K band is up 400% (off a small base, but real).
The driver is the Foxconn-corridor infrastructure: roads, water, sewer that opened up thousands of acres for residential development. New subdivisions are putting 3- and 4-bedroom homes at $370K–$520K in a price band that's been priced out of Brookfield and Oak Creek for years. Buyers are noticing.
The 57-day CDOM is the new-construction tell. When a buyer signs on a pre-spec build, they're committing to a 4–8 month build window. The contract date and the closing date are far apart. Resale homes in the older Mount Pleasant blocks still move in under 30 days.
What this means for buyers: the new-construction segment is real but it requires patience. If you need to be in a home within 60 days, focus on resale. If you can wait until late summer or fall, new construction in the $400K–$500K band is the best mid-market value in southeastern Wisconsin right now.
For sellers in older Mount Pleasant homes (1990s and earlier), you're competing against new construction in your price band. Prep matters more than ever. A clean, updated 1995 ranch at $385K will beat a tired one at $385K every weekend.
May 2026 sales, by price tier.
Mount Pleasant's May activity is the broadest by far: 36 closings across 6 of 7 bands, with the $300K–$650K range doing 26 of them. Every band over $200K is up sharply YTD — this is what active growth looks like.
