Houses for sale in Richfield, Utah, and straight answers on Richfield real estate from two agents who live here. Homes for sale, local market insight, and expert representation in Richfield from the Donavan & Tyson Team.
Richfield real estate covers more ground than any other market in Sevier County, and if you are searching for houses for sale in Richfield, Utah, you are looking at the county seat and the largest city in south-central Utah, with a 2020 Census population of 8,201. It sits at roughly 5,300 feet in the Sevier Valley, just off Interstate 70 about 40 miles east of the I-15 junction and about 160 miles south of Salt Lake City. Because the next city of any size is more than a hundred miles away in every direction, Richfield functions as the regional capital: this is where the surrounding valley towns come for the hospital, the college, the box stores, the county offices and the federal forest headquarters.
The town was first settled in 1864, abandoned during the Black Hawk War, and resettled in 1871; the arrival of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad in 1891 turned it into the commercial center it remains today. Main Street still carries that history, with the Sevier County Courthouse and a walkable downtown core, while newer commercial development follows the freeway interchanges and the Highway 118/Main Street corridor.
Who lives here? Families who work at Sevier Valley Medical Center, Snow College, the school district, Walmart, Lin's, and the Fishlake National Forest supervisor's office; tradespeople and small-business owners serving the whole valley; and a growing number of retirees and remote workers who want small-town costs without giving up services. The 2020 median age was 32, which tells you this is a young, family-oriented town rather than a retirement community.

Recreation is the reason a lot of our buyers first visited. Richfield is a gateway to the Paiute ATV Trail, a network of well over a thousand miles of routes through the Fishlake and Tushar ranges, and the city park hosts the Rocky Mountain ATV/UTV Jamboree every September. Fish Lake is about an hour away, Capitol Reef National Park is under two hours east on Highway 24, and Fremont Indian State Park is a short drive west in Clear Creek Canyon. The Sevier Valley Center on the Snow College campus brings concerts, rodeos and sporting events to town, and the Sevier County Fairgrounds host the fair and livestock show each summer.
Schools are part of Sevier School District: Ashman and Pahvant elementary schools, Red Hills Middle School, Richfield High School and Cedar Ridge alternative high school, all inside city limits. Snow College Richfield offers technical and general-education programs, so students can start college without leaving home. Intermountain's Sevier Valley Medical Center is the only hospital in the county, and the city has its own municipal airport with a 6,600-foot paved runway a mile southwest of town.
Commuting is mostly local. I-70 puts you at I-15 near Cove Fort in about 30 minutes, St. George in roughly two and a half hours, and Salt Lake City in about two and a half to three hours. Greyhound stops in Richfield on the Denver to Las Vegas route.
Richfield has the broadest housing mix in the county. You will find early-1900s brick homes near downtown, ranch-style houses from the 1960s through 1980s in the established grid, and newer subdivisions on the north and east edges of town, plus the county's only real supply of townhomes and rental fourplexes. The 2020 Census counted 2,919 housing units with just 6.2 percent vacant, and homeowner vacancy was under 2 percent, so inventory has stayed tight even as the town has grown every decade since 1940.
Buyers here are a mix of medical and education professionals relocating for jobs, local families moving up, investors buying rentals near the college, and retirees consolidating from larger Utah cities. As of September 2026, Zillow lists a typical home value in the 84701 ZIP around $347,000, and Redfin showed a median listing price in Richfield around $399,000 in August 2026. Actual closed prices vary widely because a single month can include both a starter home on Main Street and a new build on an acre.
Most of Richfield remains typically eligible for USDA Rural Development zero-down loans, which we confirm address by address for our buyers. We also see a steady flow of FHA and VA financing, and the Utah Housing Corporation programs work well for first-time buyers in this price range.
Richfield is laid out on the classic Utah grid, so most people describe where they live by compass direction from Main Street. Downtown and the historic core around the Sevier County Courthouse hold the oldest brick homes on the largest in-town lots, many of them updated, within walking distance of restaurants and the county offices. The north end, up around Sevier Valley Medical Center on North Main, is where medical and professional families tend to look, with a mix of 1970s to 1990s homes and newer infill.
The west side sits near the Snow College Richfield campus and the Sevier Valley Center, and it is the most practical area for students, college staff and anyone who wants the Richfield Municipal Airport close by. The east benches, rising toward the foothills, are where most of the newer subdivisions have gone in; lots are a little larger, views open up over the valley, and this is where the majority of new construction is happening. South Richfield shades into horse property and small acreage as you head toward Annabella and Monroe.
We walk each of these with buyers regularly and can tell you which streets have flood-irrigation water shares, where new builds are still coming, and which blocks tend to sell fastest.
Richfield is served by the Sevier School District. Elementary students attend Ashman Elementary or Pahvant Elementary depending on where in town they live, then move on to Red Hills Middle School and Richfield High School, home of the Wildcats. Cedar Ridge High School provides an alternative program, and Snow College Richfield offers concurrent enrollment for high schoolers and technical and general-education programs after graduation. Because attendance areas follow the grid, we confirm the elementary zone for any specific address before you make an offer.
As of September 2026, Zillow put the typical home value in the 84701 ZIP near $347,000 and Redfin showed a median listing price in Richfield around $399,000.

We refresh these figures as the market moves and will run comparable sales for any street or subdivision on request.
