City Finder by budget

What does your budget buy in Utah? See the towns.

Pick the most you want to spend. The finder shows the Utah towns your budget reaches, with links to their price pages where they have them.

Home prices change a lot from town to town in Utah. A budget that buys a big yard in one valley may buy a small townhome an hour away. This page shows which towns your budget reaches, before you spend a weekend driving around.

How the budget match works.

Most towns on this site have price pages. A price page shows the homes for sale under a set price in that town. Each town has its own price steps, set to fit its own home prices. When you pick a budget, the finder checks it against each town's steps.

A town fits best when your budget reaches its second step, or its only step. It fits less well when your budget reaches only the lowest step. When your budget is below all of its steps, the town falls down the list. It can still show up if it fits your other answers.

Some small towns have no price pages. For those towns, the finder uses the Census median home value. That number is what owners there think their homes are worth. It is an estimate, not a sale price. A town fits best when your budget is at or over that number.

When two towns fit the same, the one where your budget has the most room comes first.

Add what else matters.

Budget is only one part of a good move. You can also pick the kind of place you want, how much snow you like, and how far you will drive to work. Each answer you add changes the list. Skip any question you do not care about.

Before you fall for a town.

Prices move, and this list is only a place to start. On a town's card, tap Homes for sale to see what is for sale there today. Then tap About and The Local to learn what daily life there is like. If you want to talk it through, I am glad to help.

How it works


Answer what matters. Skip the rest.

Every question is optional, so pick only the ones you care about. Then tap Show my towns. Each town gets a plain label: strong match, good match, or worth a look.

Your towns

Your towns will show up here after you tap Show my towns.

    The finder sorts towns by the answers you give. It is a place to start, not advice. Drive times are typical, and prices change.

    Weather comes from NOAA 30-year averages, 1991 to 2020. Income and home values come from the Census, ACS 2020 to 2024. Drive times are typical drives outside rush hour.

    Partner agents outside Southern Utah. In Iron, Washington, Kane, Garfield, and Beaver counties I am your agent. Elsewhere in Utah, I connect you with a partner agent I trust in that area. If you buy or sell with an agent I refer, that agent's brokerage pays my brokerage a referral fee out of their own compensation, never an added cost to you. You are always free to choose any agent you wish.
    How my dual role works. I am licensed in both real estate and mortgage lending. On any single purchase I take one role only, never both at once, and every role is disclosed. You are always free to choose your own agent and your own lender. The full explanation is on How I Work.

    Found a town you like? Let's talk it through.

    I can walk you through homes, prices, and the move itself. In Southern Utah, I am your agent. Anywhere else in Utah, I will connect you with a partner agent I trust.
