Shopping for a Home Between $700,000 and $1 Million in Cache Valley?
If you’re searching for a home in Cache Valley with a budget between $700,000 and $1 million, you have options—but perhaps not as many as you’d expect.
At the time of writing, there are 64 homes available in this price range. Surprisingly, only six are newly built homes, meaning that more than 90% of the inventory consists of resale properties.
That raises an important question:
If you’re investing close to a million dollars, should you really be compromising on someone else’s design choices?
At Acadia Homes, we don’t think you should.
Most Existing Homes Come with Someone Else’s Priorities
Many resale homes in this price range were beautiful when they were built—but design trends, materials, and homeowner preferences change quickly.
It’s common to find homes featuring:
- Dated kitchen cabinetry
- Worn carpet throughout the home
- Granite colors that feel stuck in another decade
- Floor plans designed for a different lifestyle
- Bathrooms and finishes ready for remodeling
- Thousands of dollars in projects waiting after closing
While these homes may offer square footage, they often require additional investment to truly become your home.
Why Build New Instead?
Building new means every room reflects your style—not someone else’s.
With Acadia Homes’ Signature Path, we’ve created a process that combines the personalization people love about custom homes with the simplicity and predictability of a streamlined building experience. Homeowners choose from Acadia’s curated collection of Signature Series floor plans, personalize finishes with guided design selections, enjoy transparent pricing, and move through a clear construction process from permitting to completion.
Instead of spending months renovating after moving in, you’ll walk into a home that’s finished exactly the way you envisioned.
Included Upgrades That Other Builders Often Charge Extra For
One of the biggest surprises for many buyers is discovering how much builders charge for “upgrades.”
At Acadia Homes, many of the features buyers expect in a premium home are already included, including:
- Custom 9-foot soft-close cabinetry
- Quartz or granite countertops
- Designer tile backsplash
- Stainless steel kitchen appliances—including the refrigerator
- Oversized kitchen islands (plan specific)
- Premium Moen plumbing fixtures
- Luxury primary bathrooms with dual shower heads and Euro glass
- Smart home features including video doorbell and smart thermostat
- 2×6 exterior construction with upgraded insulation
- Covered patios (plan specific)
- Premium exterior siding and architectural shingles
These aren’t “luxury upgrades.”
They’re simply part of how we believe homes should be built.
Choose the Home That Fits Your Family
Rather than starting from scratch, Acadia’s Signature Series offers thoughtfully designed floor plans that fit a variety of lifestyles, including:
- Sumac – 3,649 sq. ft., 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms
- Sage – 3,770 sq. ft., 8 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms
- Juniper – 3,571 sq. ft., 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms
- Heritage – 5,324 sq. ft., 6 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms
- Balsa – 5,332 sq. ft., 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms
- Alpine – 4,529 sq. ft., 7 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms
Each plan is intentionally designed to maximize livability while giving homeowners the opportunity to personalize finishes and details that matter most.
At This Price Point, You Shouldn’t Have to Compromise
A home purchase between $700,000 and $1 million is one of the largest investments most families will ever make.
If you’re spending that much, ask yourself:
- Do you want to replace carpet in two years?
- Would you choose those kitchen cabinets if you were starting from scratch?
- Will you eventually remodel the bathrooms?
- Are you paying premium pricing for someone else’s taste?
Or would you rather move into a home built around your lifestyle from day one?
