What are Francis homes worth in 2026?
No current Francis median could be verified, so the nearest dated benchmark is next door: Zillow put the typical Kamas home at $1,202,747 in data through August 31, 2026, up 6.3 percent in a year. That number sets the price tier. It cannot price one Francis house.
Francis mixes very different homes. County records show Wild Willow Planned Development houses averaging a 2000 build year, Uinta Willows homes from 2018 and 2019, and lots averaging 1.18 acres at The Village at Lambert Lane. The Francis General Plan says more than 550 approved homes had not been built yet, so new phases will keep adding sales.
In Francis the lot picks the comp. A half acre on Summit Haven Drive and an acre on Lambert Lane are two different purchases.
How do Francis subdivisions compare?
Francis housing divides into Wild Willow, the largest subdivision, half acre and larger plats built since 2009, a few acreage plats from the 1980s and 1990s, and Hart Crossing, which is still filling in. County records name a dozen recorded subdivisions.
Wild Willow
Wild Willow Drive, Aspen Road, Spruce Way, Oak Lane and Wild Rose Drive. County records show about 170 homes: the planned development section averages a 2000 build year, the phase 2 plats 2010, on lots of 0.6 to 0.7 acre. Phase 2 records a horse exercise area. Weston matches comps plat to plat because age shifts by phase.
River Bluffs
Plats A and B on River Bluffs Drive, Scenic Heights Road, Bluff Crest Road and Bluff View Court. About 59 homes went up from 2010 to 2018 on lots near half an acre, with asphalt walking trails noted in the General Plan. Its size gives Weston more internal resales than most Francis plats offer.
Hart Crossing
Hart Loop, Crabapple Court and Sage Way, in two plats beside a new park with pickleball and basketball courts (General Plan). Its 32 parcels showed no build year in county records as of November 2025, so sales here are new construction, and builder prices get tested against nearby resales.
The Village at Lambert Lane
Village Drive and West Lambert Lane. Twelve homes built 2012 to 2017 sit on lots averaging 1.18 acres, about double what most Francis subdivisions record. Acre sales are scarce in any single year, so Weston may widen the search across the Kamas Valley and adjusts for location only when sales support it.
Uinta Shadows
Plat A lines Parleys Loop and Til's Way off State Road 32. County records list 16 homes with build years from 1938 to 2016 (average 1999) on lots near 0.42 acre. With that much age spread inside one plat, condition and updates carry more weight than the subdivision name.
Summit Haven
Two phases on Summit Haven Drive and Summit Haven Circle: ten homes built 2009 to 2016, averaging 2014, on lots near 0.62 acre. Hilltop Ridge shares Summit Haven Drive but is a few years newer, so a sale there needs an age adjustment before it works as a comp.

What drives home values in Francis?
Land comes first. Francis zoning runs from 7,000 square foot cottage lots to two acre agriculture parcels (General Plan 2024 to 2029), and county records put subdivision averages anywhere from 0.42 to 1.18 acres. Summit County records carry no house size, so Weston measures each home at inspection. Francis City lists several irrigation companies for residents, and Weston notes any water shares that convey with a sale.
Students attend South Summit School District schools, and High Valley Transit's Route 102 serves the town (Wikipedia). State Roads 32 and 35 are the main roads. The General Plan reports that Francis recently led Summit County in population growth, which means new phases compete with resales for the same buyers.
Which appraisals does Weston do in Francis?
Weston handles purchase and refinance, estate and date of death, divorce and settlement, tax assessment appeal, PMI removal, and pre listing and consulting appraisals in Francis (see services). As an FHA approved appraiser, Weston also checks the home against HUD's minimum property standards, including water supply and sewage disposal on rural lots. Reports are UAD 3.6 ready. Every 2025 report was delivered on time and the 2026 average turn time is under five days: about a week from order to delivered report, and usually less.
What Francis homeowners ask
What is my house worth in Francis?
No current Francis median could be verified. The nearest benchmark is Zillow's typical Kamas value, $1,202,747 through August 31, 2026. A 1990s Wild Willow home and a 2019 Southfield build will land apart from it, so an appraisal compares your home with matching closed sales.
What is the FHA loan limit for Francis in 2026?
$1,163,800 for a one unit home, the 2026 Summit County limit (Homebuyer.com). Weston is on the FHA appraiser roster, which a Francis FHA loan requires. That report also covers HUD's property condition standards.
Do I need an appraisal to refinance my Francis home?
Usually. Your lender decides whether a full appraisal or a waiver applies. Most Francis subdivisions hold fewer than 20 homes in county records, so automated models have little to work from. A dated list of your updates helps the appraisal credit them.
How can I check an appraiser's Utah license before a Francis appraisal?
Open the state's real estate and appraisal license search, choose Appraiser as the profession, and search by name or license number. Searching Weston Groll shows the certified residential license and whether it is active.
