Preston: Franklin County's seat in the north end of Cache Valley
Preston was settled in 1866, incorporated in 1900, and is the seat of Franklin County, just north of the Utah line. The median home was built in 1965, and more than a quarter predate 1940. Preston's 2024 comprehensive plan expects growth to speed up as population pressure from the Utah side of Cache Valley moves north. That means newer homes on the edges of an old core. Infrastructure like water, sewer and roads will shape how fast that happens, the plan says.
Buy My House is one way to sell a Preston home without listing it. After a walkthrough, expect a cash figure on paper. Per our website, that generally comes within 24 hours. Accepting is up to you. If you agree, you choose when to close. There's no commission, and Buy My House pays the closing fees sellers would normally cover.
Preston's housing at a glance
Numbers here come from two Census Bureau products: the 2024 population estimates and the five-year ACS ending in 2024.
- Population: 6,160 in 2024, up about 10% from 5,590 in the 2020 estimates base.
- Very old housing: Half of Preston's homes were built in 1965 or earlier (the median). About 69% of units predate 1980, 43% predate 1960 and 28.5% predate 1940, more pre-1940 housing than Blackfoot or Payette.
- Some newer building: Roughly one unit in five (19%) went up from 2000 onward.
- Houses, not mobile homes: Detached homes account for about 78% of units, and mobile homes for only about 1.5%.
- Owners and renters: About 69% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. For the roughly 31% that are rented, the ACS median gross rent is about $811 a month, which helps if you're a landlord weighing whether to keep a rental or sell it.
- Value: The ACS puts Preston's median owner-occupied value at $350,300 (margin about ±$24,600), averaged over five years.
- Commuting: About 32% of workers have a commute of 30 minutes or more.

Selling an older Preston home
Age is the main issue. In a town where more than a quarter of the homes are over 85 years old, buyers' inspectors often flag things like stone or brick foundations, unreinforced masonry, old wiring, galvanized pipe and single-pane windows. We buy with that in mind and don't ask you to fix anything.
Flood and hazards. Preston's comprehensive plan says there are no known hazardous areas within the city. Even so, check your parcel on FEMA's flood map, especially if you're near the Bear River, and ask your insurer.
Housing is tight. The city plan says Preston's available housing is minimal, particularly affordable housing. That's a market condition, not a promise about what any home will sell for.
Rural parcels. Outside town, Franklin County's comprehensive plan requires floodplain review and FEMA map checks for development. Tell us about irrigation, wells and septic when you call.
Heirs and estates. In a town with this much older housing, many sales come through estates. Idaho Code §55-2505 exempts some probate and fiduciary transfers from the usual property disclosure form, and the estate's lawyer can tell you whether yours qualifies. We buy inherited houses and can help with the probate side.
Taxes. Franklin County property taxes are billed in halves. The first is due December 20 and the second June 20.

How a Property Cash Offer Streamlines the Selling Process for Homeowners
When we talk about selling a house, a property cash offer is exactly what it sounds like: a buyer offers to buy your property with cash, skipping the need for mortgage approval. This method is straightforward, without waiting on mortgage approval. Why? Because it cuts through the usual financial red tape. There’s no waiting around for the buyer to get mortgage approval, no stress over whether the bank will approve their loan, and no chance of last-minute loan denial throwing a wrench in the deal. This simplicity speeds up the selling process significantly, making it a preferred choice for many sellers looking to move on quickly. Cash offers are often attractive to those in urgent need to sell, whether due to moving for a job, dealing with financial difficulties, or any other reason demanding speed.

Selling your house fast can feel like a huge weight lifted off your shoulders, especially if you’re in a situation that demands quick action, like a job relocation, financial strain, or a personal life change. Often, the traditional route of selling through a real estate agent might not cut it due to the time it can take. From listing your home, hosting open houses, to all the back-and-forth negotiations, the entire process could stretch out for months, and that’s time you might not have. This urgency pushes many to seek alternative ways to speed up the selling process, such as working with cash buyers or investment companies that specialize in quick purchases. The advantage here is clear: you can sell without waiting on buyer financing, and you skip prolonged negotiation periods. Remember, the goal is to get your house sold fast, not to add more stress to your plate.

In a fast property sale, you skip the endless showings, dodge the hassle of waiting for buyers to secure financing, and avoid the nail-biting months of uncertainty. Instead, you often sell directly to cash buyers or companies that specialize in quick purchases. This means fewer hoops to jump through, less stress, and, importantly, getting that cash in your pocket much quicker. So, if you’re in a hurry or just crave a simple selling process, diving into the world of fast property sales might just be your golden ticket.
