Over the recorded series, WISCONSIN-MICHIGAN SHORES’s median sold price moved from $63,000 (2012) to $150,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +138% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $63,000. Against the 2024 peak of $232,500, the current median stands at -35%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 4 closings a year (10-yr average 1.7). With roughly 1.7 closings a year, WISCONSIN-MICHIGAN SHORES’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
What actually trades here: 42% manufactured home - post 1977, 39% mobile home - pre 1976, 7% manufactured home, 5% mobile home, 3% single-family residence, 3% ?, with a median of 1,236 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $126 in the current window.

At WISCONSIN-MICHIGAN SHORES’s $150,000 median and Lake County’s adopted 16.65 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $2,500 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $1,830 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Lake County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $239,000 against the $150,000 recorded sold median (+59%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 12 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of WISCONSIN-MICHIGAN SHORES’s listings are under contract, against 20% for ZIP 32778 and 26% for Lake County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2004, 42 WISCONSIN-MICHIGAN SHORES listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 46% of WISCONSIN-MICHIGAN SHORES listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2025 that rate was 33%.
Cash bought 67% of recorded WISCONSIN-MICHIGAN SHORES sales in the window ending 2026-06 (2 of 3) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. With asking prices running +59% over the recorded sold median, a WISCONSIN-MICHIGAN SHORES listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.
