Homes Under $500,000 in Price, Utah
Price sits in Carbon County in eastern Utah, about two hours southeast of Provo along Highway 6, and the housing market here looks nothing like the Wasatch Front. A $500,000 ceiling covers essentially the entire active market in Price — from starter homes in the older grid near Main Street and Carbon Avenue, to mid-century ranchers in established neighborhoods, all the way up to newer builds in Carbonville and larger properties with shops, RV parking, or a few acres on the outskirts. Buyers relocating from Salt Lake or Utah County are often surprised at what the budget covers: 2,000+ square feet, a real yard, and frequently a detached garage workshop are common at price points where the Wasatch Front would offer a townhome.
The local economy runs on Utah State University Eastern, Castleview Hospital, Carbon School District, and the energy sector, so the buyer pool is a mix of long-time Carbon County families, USU staff, healthcare workers, and remote workers drawn to the lower cost of living and access to the San Rafael Swell, Nine Mile Canyon, and Scofield Reservoir. Summers are hot and dry, winters are cold but milder than the high country, and the elevation around 5,500 feet keeps things comfortable most of the year.

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.
