Homes Under $500,000 in Richmond, Utah
Richmond sits at the north end of Cache Valley, about 15 minutes from Logan and roughly 30 minutes from the Idaho border along Highway 91. It's dairy and farm country turned into a small, tight-knit town of around 2,800 people, with Black & White Days every May still drawing the community out to the fairgrounds. For buyers priced out of Logan or North Logan, Richmond and its neighbor Lewiston offer some of the last real value left in the valley, and under $500K still covers most of what comes on the market here, from older brick farmhouses near Main Street to newer construction on the town's east and south edges.
Cache County's economy leans on Utah State University, Icon Health & Fitness, and the ag industry, and a lot of Richmond buyers are commuting into Logan for work while wanting more land and less noise. Lot sizes tend to run bigger than in Logan proper — quarter-acre and up isn't unusual — which matters if you want a garden, chickens, or room for a shop. Winters bring real snow and cold off the Bear River Range, so check on furnace age and roof condition on older homes before you write an offer.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Richmond.
What kind of home does $500K actually buy in Richmond? ▾
In Richmond, the under-$500K range typically covers three- and four-bedroom single-family homes on standard town lots, plus a handful of older farmhouses and newer builds in subdivisions on the south and west edges of town. Lot sizes here tend to run larger than what the same money gets you in Logan or North Logan. You'll see a mix of 1980s–2000s ramblers, some recently built two-stories, and the occasional fixer with outbuildings or pasture access.
How does Richmond pricing compare to nearby Logan and Smithfield? ▾
Richmond generally runs a touch below Smithfield and meaningfully below North Logan for comparable square footage, mostly because it sits about 15 minutes farther north of USU and the main Cache Valley job centers. That commute trade-off is exactly why under-$500K inventory tends to be more usable here — you get more house, more yard, or both for the same budget.
Are there newer-construction homes in Richmond under $500K? ▾
Yes, though the window has narrowed as Cache Valley land and material costs have climbed. New builds under $500K in Richmond are usually smaller-footprint two-stories or three-bedroom ramblers on smaller lots in the newer subdivisions off Main Street and State Road 142. Spec homes come and go quickly, so the active list below is the most accurate snapshot.
What are property taxes and utilities like at this price point? ▾
Cache County property tax rates are among the lower ones in Utah, and Richmond homes assessed in the $400K–$500K range generally see annual tax bills in the $1,800–$2,400 ballpark depending on primary-residence status. Most homes run on Richmond City power and culinary water, with natural gas from Dominion — utility costs are reasonable, though winter heating bills climb during the valley's cold inversion stretches.
Is Richmond a reasonable commute to Logan or the USU campus? ▾
It's about 18–22 minutes from Richmond down US-91 to North Logan and roughly 25–30 minutes to USU, depending on weather and time of day. Plenty of buyers under $500K here are USU staff, Schreiber Foods or ICON employees, and remote workers who want acreage-adjacent living without paying Providence or Hyde Park prices.
How much inventory is usually available under $500K in Richmond? ▾
Richmond is a small town — roughly 2,800 residents — so active listings under $500K typically number in the single digits at any given time. New listings move fast when priced right, especially in spring. The list below pulls live MLS data, so it reflects exactly what's available today.
