Where Under $1.75M sits
The local read, the median line and the pricing tiers
The local read
Under $1.75M is the custom and estate end
In shortCensus data puts a typical Highland home at about $928,300. At under $1.75M you have left that behind and entered the custom and estate end of the city. Think architect-designed homes, big parcels, and view estates. The listings come live from the MLS and are sorted from the highest price down.
Per U.S. Census ACS 2020-2024, Highland's typical home is worth close to $928,300. At under $1.75M you are in a small, separate market with its own pace. These homes are not bigger copies of the established houses in town. They are custom builds, real acreage, and view estates, and they sell slowly and on their own terms.
This is where Highland's one-off homes live. Some have been drawn by an architect, with designed kitchens and finished walkout basements. Some are big parcels in the R-1-40 zone, where the land and the privacy carry the value. Others are foothill view estates, where the Wasatch is the backdrop and the elevation shapes the property. Almost the whole city is zoned for half-acre to one-acre lots, and this price range is where those lots start to grow larger.
Sellers here wait for the right buyer, and prices follow recent sales. Homes can sit for weeks or months, which is normal at this level. Few close matches have sold, so each house has to be judged by itself. Proof of funds or a pre-approval on hand lets you act quickly when a true fit lists.
Want to see what is just above and below? The under $1.5M page covers the high end of everyday Highland prices. The under $2M page is the top of the estate range, with very large parcels and more architect-led homes. The Highland guide explains the two Highland details every estate buyer needs: the lot-size zones and the second water system. A partner agent for Highland can show you what nearby homes sold for.
Stretch math
One step up
under $2M is the top of the estate range. It brings very large parcels and more architect-led homes, and it moves even more slowly.
One step down
under $1.5M is the high end of everyday Highland prices, with near-custom homes and lots over an acre. It moves a bit faster than this page.
Either way
Think of the price page as a starting point only. Tell the partner agent for Highland what the property must do, whether that means acreage, a custom plan, or one particular view, and which side of the city it should be on.

The median line
How $1.75M compares with a typical Highland home
Under $1.75M takes in the Highland typical home value, ~$928,300, somewhere along the way. Picture the bar as a ruler across all seven pages. Gold shows where this page sits, and the pin shows the typical home value.
The pricing tiers
Which Highland price range fits your budget?
Highland is divided into seven price pages. Each carries live homes and its own local read, and the lit page is the one you are on, near the top.

What the money buys

What the money buys
Under $1.75M comes in three shapes
Only a few homes sit at this end of the market, yet they still fall into three groups. Buyers choose each for a different reason, and knowing your reason narrows a slow search.
Architect-designed custom homes
Built one at a time, with designed kitchens, finished walkout basements, and interiors shaped by an architect instead of a builder's plan book. Highland has many large lots, and these homes sit on some of the larger ones and were designed to suit them. The floor plan and the finish are what you are paying for.
The catch: a longer hunt and a slow clock. The upside: a home that truly has no twin in Highland.
Acreage and large-lot parcels
The R-1-40 estate streets, where the land itself holds much of the price. Parcels near the mouth of American Fork Canyon, where the national forest begins, and in the country club neighborhood bring room and privacy. Here the land does the heavy lifting. Near the canyon, ask for the fault and landslide maps and a soil report before you offer.
What you accept: a long, slow search. What you get: acreage and privacy.
View estates
Homes high on the slope where the Wasatch view and the way the lot sits make the property. The view here is the point, not a bonus. These houses were built to frame one view, and the price reflects that the mountain cannot be moved later.
The downside: a steeper cost per square foot of house. The payoff: a view and a setting on higher ground that the lower pages simply do not offer.
Few estate homes list, and they stay on the market a long time. A given week may show only a handful across all three kinds. The Homes for Sale page lets you see what is actually listed today.

What each price range buys
Each page in the series buys a different style of home, not a larger or smaller version of this one. Here is how the three pages differ by list price. The $1.75M page fills the center column of this table.
| Comparison point | Under $1.5M | Under $1.75M This page | Under $2M |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical home shape | Near-custom houses with lots over an acre and good views | Custom-built homes, bigger parcels, and wider views | Very large parcels, architect-led houses, and strong views |
| What you usually give up | Fully custom design and the largest parcels | The top of the estate budget | More money for very large parcels and more architect-led houses |
| What you usually gain | Land, near-custom detail, and strong views | Real custom design, more land, and the best views from higher ground | Very large parcels, more architect-led design, and high view lots |
| Where you end up | Acre lots, near-custom homes, views | Custom homes, acreage, high views | Very large parcels, architect-led homes |
| How the competition feels | Unhurried, priced from recent sales, and short on listings | Slow and choosy, so you find homes by watching | Slower and choosier still |
At the estate end, the right home comes down to land, design and view. Tell the Highland partner agent which one matters most and on which side of town it must sit.

How to shop in the early estate range
A slow, careful read of each home works better than speed in this range. Few homes are for sale and few recent sales exist, so you watch the market and act when value shows up.
Have funds or a pre-approval ready
Sellers of Highland estates want a buyer who is serious and ready. A fresh pre-approval letter, or papers that show your funds, makes you believable when the right home comes up.
Pick your top one or two features
Acreage, a custom floor plan, one particular view, or a spot on the canyon side. Estate buyers usually pay for one or two big features, and naming them keeps a long search on track.
Price the yard water before you offer
On a lot over an acre, outdoor watering is a big monthly cost, and the city begins billing by use in spring 2027. Ask what the system costs the seller now and how the city plans to charge, then decide before the offer goes in.
Tour with a partner agent who follows local sales
Very few similar estates have sold, so judging value is the whole job: what the land, the custom build and the view will really support. Read how the buying process works, and study the art of the offer whenever you are ready for detail.

Quick answers
Under $1.75M in Highland, answered
Custom and estate homes: houses designed by an architect, with designed kitchens, finished walkout basements, and one-of-a-kind floor plans. Also large parcels in the R-1-40 zone near American Fork Canyon and Alpine Country Club, and foothill view estates framed by the Wasatch. Few homes list at once, so the live list above is the best guide.
Rare. Only a few homes list at this level, and each sells on its own timeline. This is where Highland's custom and estate end begins.
Yes. The under $1.5M page covers the high end of everyday Highland prices, with near-custom homes and lots over an acre. It has a somewhat quicker pace than this page.
Often weeks to months, which is the normal pace here and not a sign of trouble. Fewer buyers compete, and each home is judged alone because few like it have sold.
Yes. Custom single-story homes on large Highland lots appear at the estate end, often with a main-floor primary suite and a walkout basement where the lot slopes. The single-story homes page filters for them.
A current pre-approval letter or proof of funds, a short list of the one or two features that define the property for you, and a plain question about irrigation billing on any estate lot. At this level, patience and a close look at recent sales count for far more than speed.
Talk to Scott
Looking at Highland's first step into estates, where the right home is found by watching?
Highland estates are rare, slow to sell, and each one different. Tell the partner agent for Highland what the property must do, whether that is acreage, a custom build or a view. They will keep watch for you and review nearby sales before you make an offer.
