Do two methods point the same way?

Zillow estimates a current home value. FHFA tracks repeat mortgage transactions. Their growth rates should be read side by side, not averaged.

County brief

What the local evidence says

01Decision frame

Juab County’s decision tension is a positive price record without published market-rent proof. Zillow’s county median home value was $460,108 in 2026-06, up 3.53% year over year; investors should investigate income support for that entry point, while buyers requiring demonstrated cash flow should be cautious. FHFA’s annual 2025 repeat-transaction HPI rose 1.74%, and its cumulative five-year change was 50.03%. This directionally supports appreciation, but FHFA is an index rather than a home value and its labeled annual period is not Zillow’s 2026-06 observation.

02Housing economics

Measured market rent is not published, so gross yield cannot be computed. HUD’s two-bedroom FMR is $1,460 per month, but it is a payment standard—not a market asking-rent estimate—and cannot substitute for rent in a yield calculation. The reported effective property-tax rate is 0.45%, with median annual property tax of $1,914. That gives a county carrying-cost reference, not a parcel bill. Rent comps, vacancy, insurance, financing, repair costs and parcel-level taxes are not published; their absence prevents a cash-flow conclusion.

03Demand & competition

Realtor.com’s 2026-06 MLS evidence shows 46 active listings, 41.03% fewer than a year earlier, with a 55-day median marketing time and 23.83% of listings reduced. Visible supply is therefore thinner, but these are active asking-market measures: neither the median listing price nor inventory, marketing time, or reductions is a closed-sale price or proof of buyer demand. Tax-return migration recorded net inflow of 43 households, and the supplied calculation shows average income of movers in exceeded movers out by $13,545. Non-occupant borrowers accounted for 5.88% of total recorded purchase mortgages. Annual QCEW reports workplace job and wage growth and names Manufacturing as the largest disclosed private supersector; this is not resident employment or a demand forecast.

04Risk & next checks

Wildfire is the dominant hazard, while the modeled annual climate-loss ratio is 0.25% of building value; it is modeled expected loss, not a property-specific insurance quote or realized loss. Underwriters should obtain lease comps, closed-sale comps, parcel hazard and mitigation details, insurance terms, and tax bills before deciding whether the price, carrying costs, and tenant revenue align. County-level evidence cannot establish neighborhood liquidity, tenant quality, or a parcel’s insurability.

Bear case

What can break the county thesis

  1. Unpublished market rents and operating costs may not support the observed home-value entry point.
  2. Wildfire exposure or insurance terms may be worse at a specific parcel than the county-level modeled loss indicates.
  3. MLS scarcity may not translate into closed-sale liquidity or tenant demand.
Underwriting questions

Before pricing a property

Can gross yield be calculated from the supplied record?

No. Market rent is not published, and HUD FMR is not a market-rent substitute.

What evidence is available on buyer competition?

Realtor.com provides MLS inventory, marketing-time, and price-reduction evidence, but none establishes closed-sale demand by itself.

What labor-market measure is available?

Annual QCEW supplies covered employment at county workplaces, wage change, and the largest disclosed private supersector; it does not measure resident employment.
