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

Millard County presents a valuation-versus-underwriting tension: Zillow's county median home value was $350,437 in 2026-06, up 3.25% year over year, while MLS listing conditions show supply and concessions. Investigate if able to validate parcel-level flood and rent evidence; be cautious if the case needs a quick resale or a yield calculated from a housing-program benchmark. County aggregates frame screening only, not property performance.

02Housing economics

FHFA's 2025 repeat-transaction HPI rose 5.93% and was up 72.08% cumulatively over its reported horizon. It supports Zillow's positive direction, but it is an index rather than a home value and is neither the same vintage nor a rate to combine with Zillow. No county market asking rent is published, so gross yield cannot be computed. HUD FMR is a payment standard, not market rent. Property tax is 0.51%, a carrying-cost line that still requires parcel assessment and tax-bill confirmation.

03Demand & competition

Realtor.com's MLS listing-market evidence is more cautious: active supply increased 8.65% year over year, median marketing time was 83 days, and 16.99% of listings had price reductions. These are visible asking supply, marketing time and seller concessions—not closed-sale pricing or standalone proof of buyer demand. Net migration was negative 14 tax-return households, though average AGI was higher for movers in than movers out. Investors accounted for 8.77% of 114 purchase mortgages, indicating some non-owner competition but not its bidding behavior or rental strategy.

04Risk & next checks

Risk limits remain material. Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and modeled expected climate loss equals 0.12% of building value per year; this is a modeled ratio, not a parcel loss estimate. QCEW annual covered employment at county workplaces fell 1.55%; it is not resident employment or a forecast. Trade, transportation, and utilities is the largest disclosed private supersector, not a description of the whole economy. Check flood zone, insurance terms and replacement cost; obtain achieved rents, vacancy, lease turnover and operating statements; and check sale comps, financing terms and tax assessments. Without these items, the brief cannot establish cash flow, gross yield, exit value or property-level hazard cost.

Bear case

What can break the county thesis

  1. Actual achieved rents, vacancy and operating costs could leave cash flow unsupported.
  2. Parcel-level flood exposure, insurance availability and replacement costs may differ materially from the county climate model.
  3. Listing concessions and declining covered employment may coincide with thinner buyer or tenant depth than county aggregates reveal.
Underwriting questions

Before pricing a property

Can gross yield be calculated from the record?

No. County market asking rent is not published; HUD's $1,124 two-bedroom FMR is a payment standard, not market rent.

What does the MLS record say about listing conditions?

In 2026-06, active listings were up 8.65% year over year, median days on market were 83, and 16.99% of listings had reductions; these are listing-market measures.

How much investor mortgage participation is reported?

Investors made 10 of 114 purchase mortgages, a share of 8.77%.
