The local read
Under $400K is the lowest price range in Magna
In shortMagna's typical home is valued at about $376,200 (U.S. Census ACS 2020-2024). Under $400K takes in that home and everything below it, which makes this the lowest price range in town. You will see miner cottages, postwar ramblers, split-levels and 1990s subdivision homes, fed live from the MLS and sorted newest first.
Think of $400,000 as a line just above Magna's typical home. Census data (ACS 2020-2024) puts a typical home here at about $376,200, so this page holds that home and plenty of cheaper ones. It is also the lowest Magna price page, which makes it a wide, active part of the market and not a thin corner of it.
What this money reaches runs across Magna's older homes. Priced at the bottom are the miner cottages on the mill-era grid, about 8400 W to 9200 W around 2700 S. Many are under 1,500 square feet on small lots. Condos, older townhomes and detached homes that need a kitchen, a roof or new systems sit here too, and you take on that work. Most of the price range is detached homes with some age: postwar ramblers and split-levels in the middle rings east and south of the townsite, plus 1990s subdivision homes in the middle of town, east and south of the old town.
Many buyers look at this number, and a sound, fairly priced home can go under contract in a weekend. Line up a pre-approval before you tour so you can act instead of watch. If you like an older brick home on the townsite, ask for a structural inspection on top of the standard one, and leave time for both in your due-diligence window. That check is specific to Magna's older brick homes, so plan for it before you shop.
Wondering about the next price range? The under $500K page is one step up, where newer homes on the south side and larger established homes start to show up. Nothing sits below this page, because Magna has no lower price range on this site. If a listing here looks right, reach out. For the town's wider picture, read the Magna guide.
Stretch math
One step up
under $500K is one step above the typical home value. Newer homes on the south side, larger ramblers and 1990s-2000s subdivision homes show up more often there than here.
The lowest range
Nothing sits below this page in Magna. At the floor, your choices come down to condition and home type: a miner cottage, an updated rambler, or a project you take on.
Either way
Treat the number as a start, not a ruling. Send me your must-haves and a partner agent can tell you whether they fit here or one step up.

What the money buys
Under $400K comes in three shapes
Magna's homes at this price fall into three types. They run from early-1900s cottages to 1990s subdivision streets, so almost any part of Magna's established market can land here.
Postwar ramblers and split-levels
Single-story ramblers and split-levels built from the postwar years through the 1990s fill the middle rings of town. The streets are settled, the building style is common, and the inspection and loan steps tend to be simple.
The catch: an older home. The upside: a full yard, an established street, and a simple path through inspection and financing.
Historic townsite cottages and detached fixers
The townsite grid from the early 1900s, about 8400 W to 9200 W around 2700 S, holds the lowest-priced detached homes on Magna's west side. Lots are small, the trees are mature, and the cottages tie back to the copper mill years. Older ramblers priced for a remodel sit nearby. Most need updating, and older brick means a structural inspection is a smart call.
What you take on: an older home and possible repair bills from the inspection. What you get: a real yard, a detached home, and prices at the bottom of the local range.
1990s subdivision homes and attached housing
In the middle of town, east and south of the old town, 1990s subdivisions offer three- and four-bedroom plans, attached garages and newer systems. Condos and older townhomes also sit at this number, and they keep a steady supply on the market. Compared with the older cottages, you get a younger house for about the same money.
The downside: a spot away from the town center, or a shared wall. The payoff: a younger home, an attached garage, and newer systems.
The mix changes from week to week, so check the Homes for Sale page to see which of the three is on the market today.

| Comparison point | Under $400K This page | Under $500K | Under $600K |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical home shape | Cottages, ramblers, 1990s subdivision homes | Newer homes, bigger 1990s plans | Large new builds, view lots |
| What you usually give up | New builds, large floor plans | Some budget for newer homes | Extra budget for size, views |
| What you usually gain | A wide mix of listings | Newer systems, roomier plans | Bigger lots, views, nicer finishes |
| Where you usually buy | Townsite grid, middle rings | South side, larger established streets | Upper south side, bigger lots |
| How the competition feels | Busy, and sound homes go fast | Steady, with more time | Calmer, fewer rival buyers |
The price only gets you started. The must-haves on your list pick the column. Tell me what they are and a partner agent can point you to the right page.

A four-step play
How to buy at Magna's lowest prices
Many buyers compete for homes at this price, so the ones who win are ready and know what they need. Four steps help, taken in order.
Get pre-approved first
Without a pre-approval letter, a seller may not take your offer seriously. Sellers here tend to move quickly. Get the letter before you fall for a listing, not after.
Know the kind of home and how much work you will take on
Choose between a rambler ready to move into, a historic cottage, or a detached home that needs work. Then settle how much repair work you can handle. Once you know, the search shrinks faster than any filter can shrink it.
Get on first-look alerts
Sound listings at this number can go under contract within a weekend in spring, so seeing a fit the morning it lists matters a great deal. A local partner agent flags matches before the weekend crowd does.
Go over recent sales with local knowledge
A low price is sometimes low for a real reason. It may be an inspection issue, an awkward spot next door, a seismic question on an older brick home, or what the SR-201 corridor means for one lot. A partner agent who knows recent sales can tell you which it is. For the full detail, open the buying process guide and the art of the offer guide.

Quick answers
Under $400K in Magna, answered
Mostly older homes: postwar ramblers and split-levels in the middle rings, miner cottages on the mill-era grid, detached homes that need work, and 1990s subdivision homes in the middle of town, east and south of the old town. This is the lowest Magna price page, and the listings change from week to week.
Magna's price ranges come from homes that are actually listed here, so they match how people search. Census data (ACS 2020-2024) lists the typical home value at about $376,200. Under $400K takes in that home, so this is the lowest price range in Magna, and a busy one.
No. Under $400K is the lowest Magna price page, and it sits near the typical home value. Below it, the choices narrow to small attached units, early cottages and homes that need a lot of work.
Many buyers compete here. A fairly priced rambler or subdivision home can go under contract in a weekend during spring and summer. Winter is slower and easier on buyers.
Yes. Ramblers, the Utah word for a single-story home, are the main home type in the middle rings, and they fall inside this range. The single-story homes page filters for them.
Have a pre-approval letter, a short must-have list, and an honest idea of how much repair work you will take on. A fairly priced home here may not last a weekend. For an older brick home on the townsite, plan for a structural inspection. Sort that out before you fall for a home.
