Payson housing market
What sellers are asking around Payson, how long listings sit, what rents are advertised at and how many homes the city has authorized, from the newest month each public source had published. Every number names its source and month. There are no sale prices here: Utah does not make them public.
Asking prices and days on market
Realtor.com marked Payson (84651) with its data-quality flag for September 2026, and we do not publish a flagged figure. It returns here when the flag clears. Utah County's median asking price in September 2026 was $569,950.
Rent
Zillow's Observed Rent Index for Payson was $1,550 a month in September 2026; Zillow began publishing this city's series in January 2026, so there is no year-earlier figure yet. The Provo metro figure was $1,773, so Payson sits 12.6% below the metro. The index blends houses, condos and apartments and is an asking-rent measure, not what tenants pay.
