Homes Under $500,000 in Price, Utah
Price sits in Carbon County, about 110 miles southeast of Salt Lake City along US-6, and it's one of the few places in Utah where a $500K budget buys a lot of house. Most of the market here sits well below that line, with many single-family homes trading in the $200Ks and $300Ks. Buyers can find older brick ranches near downtown, larger lots in the Creekview and Castle Dale-side corridors, and newer builds on the edges of town. The same money along the Wasatch Front would land you in a condo or a starter townhome.
The local economy leans on energy, mining, healthcare, and Utah State University Eastern, which keeps rental demand steady for investors. Winters are real at roughly 5,500 feet, with cold snaps and snow, so roof condition, insulation, and heating type matter when comparing listings. Summers are dry and warm, and Scofield Reservoir, the Book Cliffs, and the San Rafael Swell are all within a short drive. Carbon School District serves most of the area. With a $500K ceiling, you can also look at acreage, shops, and custom homes that rarely come up in Utah's bigger markets, so it's worth sorting by lot size as well as square footage.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Price.
What does $500K actually buy in Price, Utah right now? ▾
In most of Price you can still get a 3–4 bedroom single-family home on a standard lot, often built in the last 10–20 years, with a two-car garage. Closer to $400K you'll see older homes near the original townsite or smaller newer builds; pushing toward $500K opens up larger floor plans and occasional homes with RV parking or a casita.
Is Price a good value compared to St. George? ▾
Yes — that's the main reason buyers look here. Comparable homes in St. George or Washington often run $100K–$200K more for similar square footage. The trade-off is fewer retail and dining options and a longer drive to the regional hospital and airport in St. George.
Are there new construction homes under $500K in Price? ▾
There are, though inventory shifts week to week. Several builders have active subdivisions on the east side of town, and base-model 3-bed plans frequently land in the $380K–$470K range. Upgrades, lot premiums, and finished landscaping can push them past $500K quickly.
What are property taxes and HOA fees like in this price range? ▾
Washington County property taxes run roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value for primary residences, which is low by national standards. HOAs in Price's newer subdivisions typically run $25–$60/month; older neighborhoods near the townsite usually have no HOA at all.
How's the commute from Price to St. George or Hurricane? ▾
Price to downtown St. George is about 18–22 minutes on I-15, and Hurricane is roughly 25 minutes via SR-9. Most working buyers here commute one of those two directions daily, and traffic stays light outside of the morning rush onto I-15 southbound.
Do homes under $500K here come with usable yards? ▾
Generally yes. Lot sizes in Price tend to run 0.15–0.25 acre in newer subdivisions, which is larger than what the same money buys in St. George proper. Most yards are xeriscaped or partially landscaped to keep water use down, and many have room for a small pool, casita, or RV pad.
