Investment Properties for Sale in Price, Utah
Price sits in Carbon County about two hours southeast of Salt Lake City, and it runs on a different economic engine than the Wasatch Front. Coal, the Utah State University Eastern campus, Castleview Hospital, and a steady stream of workers tied to energy, rail, and the recreation economy keep rental demand consistent. Median home prices here typically run well below the state average — often in the $200K–$325K range — which is why cash-flow investors from Provo, Lehi, and out of state keep an eye on Price listings. Single-family rentals near the college, older bungalows in the original townsite, and duplexes along Carbon Avenue and 100 East tend to move first.
The investment math in Price looks different than it does in Utah County. Rents are modest but so are entry prices, which often produces gross yields that Wasatch Front landlords can't touch. Vacancy is tied to the energy cycle and USU Eastern's enrollment, so it pays to understand which streets draw students, which draw long-term blue-collar tenants, and which sit on lots large enough to add an ADU or a shop the local workforce will pay extra for. Helper, Wellington, and East Carbon are nearby alternatives worth comparing if a Price listing doesn't pencil.

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.
