Brian Head home values right now
What Brian Head homes are actually selling for
The quickest way to sanity-check any number you've seen for your house is to look at what the market is doing now. These figures come from closed sales in the MLS and refresh automatically.
5 residential sales closed in October 2026. Typical asking price today: $309,990. 51 homes for sale. Year-over-year compares October 2026 with the same month last year.
Are Brian Head home prices dropping?
No. The median sale price is up about 80.6% from the same month a year ago. One month's median moves with whichever homes happened to sell, so read it as a direction, not a precise change for your home. Rising medians still don't lift every home equally, so your own comparable sales matter more than the citywide number.
Is Brian Head a buyer's or seller's market?
With about 10.2 months of supply, the market leans toward buyers. Under about four months usually favors sellers; over six favors buyers. Homes are closing at about 96.0% of list price, so buyers are negotiating harder than they were. The citywide number hides a lot. A move-in-ready home in a popular neighborhood can still draw quick offers while a dated one nearby waits, and that gap is what a home-by-home analysis is for.
Selling a home in Brian Head
Brian Head is Utah's highest town, at about 9,800 feet, and a resort town first. Fewer than 200 people live here year-round; most homes and condos are second homes or nightly rentals near Brian Head Resort, with Cedar Breaks National Monument a few miles south and the town averaging well over 300 inches of snow a year. That makes it a different market from almost anywhere else in Utah: most properties are bought as second homes or rentals, and many buyers are weighing rental income alongside the mountain setting.
The biggest value questions here are specific to the town. Is the property connected to town water? Does it hold, or can it get, a nightly rental license? How close is it to the lifts, and how is it reached in winter? Condos, cabins and larger mountain homes all sell differently, and with only a few sales each month, the right comparables often come from a longer stretch of time.
A CMA from a local agent sorts out the licensing, water and access questions first, then matches your property with the sales that truly compare.

The method
How we figure out what your Brian Head home is worth
A comparative market analysis answers one question: what will a ready buyer pay for this home right now? It's the same way an appraiser will look at your home if the buyer finances the purchase.
-
1
Pull the right closed sales
Utah is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices aren't in public records. We start with closed MLS sales, ideally from your own neighborhood in Brian Head, from the last three to six months, and close to your home in size, age and style. In a slow pocket we look farther out or farther back, and we tell you when we did.
-
2
Adjust for what's different
No comparable sale is identical. We adjust each one for living area, basement finish, lot, garage, views, age and updates. A comp with a brand-new kitchen sold for more than a home without one will, and we account for it.
-
3
Read the competition
Closed sales show what happened. Active and pending listings show what a buyer will compare you with next weekend, and expired listings show the prices buyers turned down.

Land on a range, then a strategy
You get a realistic price range, a likely sale price and an expected time on market. Then we talk through how to use it, so you know the trade-off before you decide.
Local factors
What moves home values in Brian Head
National valuation tools treat a square foot the same everywhere. Buyers here don't. These are the details that most often separate two Brian Head homes that look identical on paper.
Nightly rental licensing
Nightly rentals are allowed in Brian Head's residential and commercial zones with a town business license, a fire inspection every two years, and the license number, occupancy and parking shown in every ad. A property that already has a license and a rental history is easier for an investor to value. HOA rules can still restrict rentals, so check yours.
Town water connection
Homes that aren't connected to the town water system can't be licensed as nightly rentals, and hauling water for commercial use isn't allowed. Some older cabins have no hookup, and extending a line can be expensive. Water service is one of the first things a buyer asks about.
Distance to the lifts
Proximity to the base areas and lifts drives value more than square footage alone. Walk-to-lift condos and homes are priced in their own tier.
Winter access, parking and snow
With heavy snow and no on-street parking from November through April, a home's driveway, garage, parking count and snow storage all matter. Owners have to store their own snow on their lot, and buyers notice steep or hard-to-plow access.
Condition at altitude
At this elevation roofs, decks, siding, windows and heating systems take a beating. Buyers and inspectors look closely at them, and a recent fire inspection and service records help.
ADUs
ADUs are possible on single-family lots with a conditional use permit, but they can't be used as nightly rentals. They add space for family and guests rather than rental income.
Wildfire history and taxes
The 2017 Brian Head Fire burned about 71,000 acres and evacuated the whole town, and buyers ask about defensible space and insurance. Second homes and nightly rentals are taxed on full value in Utah, and rentals carry town lodging and resort taxes, which investors factor into price.
Know which number you're looking at
Online estimate, CMA or appraisal?
You can get a number for your house in ten seconds from Zillow, Redfin or Realtor.com, and it's a fine place to start. Just know what's behind it. Automated estimates read public records and listing data, and here they often can't see what homes actually sold for. They also can't see your remodeled kitchen, your finished basement or the view from your back patio.
| Online estimate | CMA from a local agent | Appraisal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who prepares it | An algorithm | A licensed agent who knows the area | A licensed appraiser |
| What it sees | Public records and listing data | MLS sales, current competition, your home's condition and updates | Closed sales and an inspection of the home |
| Cost | Free | Free | Usually several hundred dollars |
| Turnaround | Instant | Usually within one business day | About a week or more |
| Best for | A rough idea | Deciding whether, when and at what price to sell | A mortgage, refinance, estate or legal matter |
One more number you'll see is the county assessor's market value on your valuation notice. It's set as of January 1 for tax purposes, and a primary residence is taxed on 55% of it because of Utah's 45% residential exemption. It's useful, but it isn't a sale price, so don't price your home from your tax notice.
Before you list
Getting the most for your Brian Head home
The best return usually comes from the unglamorous work, not a rushed remodel.
- Service the HVAC. A recent AC service record matters in a 100-degree summer. Buyers and inspectors check it first.
- Clean up the outside. Fresh rock, trimmed plants, working drip lines and a clear pool are a cheap way to improve the first photo.
- Paint and light. Fresh neutral paint and bright bulbs do more for photos and showings than almost anything else at the same cost.
- Fix the small items now. Leaky faucets, cracked tile and worn caulking show up in inspection reports and turn into repair requests.
- Gather your paperwork. HOA documents, any solar agreement, warranties, permits for a finished basement or addition, and records of upgrades answer buyer questions before they turn into negotiation.
- Skip the big remodel. A new kitchen right before listing rarely pays back in full. We'll tell you which updates are worth it for your price range.
Not selling yet? Other good reasons to know your value
Plenty of the valuations we prepare are for owners who aren't listing at all. Knowing what your home would sell for helps when you're:
- • Considering a refinance or HELOC, so you know roughly how much equity you have before a lender orders an appraisal.
- • Deciding whether to sell or rent it out, by putting the likely sale price next to what the home could rent for.
- • Handling an estate, a divorce or a relocation, where everyone needs a realistic number. A court or lender will usually still require a formal appraisal.
- • Planning a move up or down, so you can see what you could afford next before you start shopping.
