Investment Properties for Sale in Price, Utah
Price sits at the crossroads of US-6 and US-191 in Carbon County, a working town built around Castle Valley's coal and natural gas history and, increasingly, its role as the retail and medical hub for the region. That mix keeps rental demand steady from College of Eastern Utah (USU Eastern) students, hospital and mine employees, and families who can't find inventory in pricier Wasatch Front markets 90 minutes north. Home prices here still sit well below the state median, which means an investor can pick up a solid rental or a fixer duplex for a fraction of what the same square footage costs in Salt Lake County or even Spanish Fork.
Single-family rentals dominate the market, but Price also has a decent stock of older duplexes and small multi-family buildings near downtown and around Carbonville Road, many priced for buyers who want to add value through updates rather than pay a premium for turnkey condition. Cash flow tends to pencil out better than appreciation speculation here — this is a landlord's market built on steady blue-collar and institutional employment (Castleview Hospital, USU Eastern, the county government) rather than rapid population growth. Property taxes and insurance run low compared to southern Utah's resort towns, which helps net returns. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market and how the numbers compare to what you're seeing elsewhere in the state.

Common questions
About investment properties in Price.
What kind of cash flow can I realistically expect on a Price rental? ▾
Single-family rents in Price commonly land between $1,100 and $1,600, with duplexes and student-oriented units stretching higher per door. Because purchase prices often sit in the low-to-mid $200Ks, gross yields of 7–10% are achievable on well-bought properties — significantly better than most Wasatch Front markets. Run your numbers tight on vacancy and maintenance, since older housing stock dominates the inventory.
Who are the typical renters in Price? ▾
The tenant pool is a mix of USU Eastern students, hospital and healthcare workers tied to Castleview, energy and rail employees, and long-term local families. Proximity to the college campus and to Highway 6 access matters more than school boundaries for most of these renters. Two- and three-bedroom homes with a yard and off-street parking lease the fastest.
Are short-term rentals viable in Price? ▾
STRs are a smaller piece of the market here than in Moab or Park City, but there's real demand from travelers passing through to the San Rafael Swell, Nine Mile Canyon, and Manti-La Sal hunting country. Check current Price City and Carbon County ordinances before underwriting an STR — rules around licensing and zoning have tightened in many Utah municipalities over the past few years.
What should I watch for on older Price homes? ▾
A lot of the inventory was built between 1900 and 1960, so expect to budget for knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, galvanized supply lines, original sewer laterals to the main, and aging roofs. Foundation movement shows up in some neighborhoods due to expansive soils. A thorough inspection and a sewer scope are non-negotiable on anything pre-1970.
How does Price compare to Helper or Wellington for investors? ▾
Helper has had a small arts-and-tourism renaissance and tends to attract STR money, which has pushed prices up faster than rents. Wellington stays cheaper and quieter, with steady working-class tenants. Price itself offers the deepest rental pool and the most listing volume, so it's usually the easiest market to scale a small portfolio in.
How many investment-grade listings are usually active in Price? ▾
Active inventory swings with the season, but Price typically has a modest pool of homes that pencil as rentals at any given time — often a dozen or two single-family options plus the occasional duplex or small multi-unit. The list below updates directly from the MLS, so it reflects what's actually available right now.
