FHA Loans in Centerville, Utah

The minimum credit score for an FHA loan with 3.5% down is 580. If your credit score is between 500 and 579, you may still qualify with a 10% down payment. These are FHA minimums, individual lenders may have overlays that require higher scores. We work with multiple FHA-approved lenders to find the best fit for your credit profile. If your score is below the minimum, we can recommend credit counseling resources to help you get mortgage-ready.

FHA loans require both an upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) of 1.75% of the loan amount and an annual mortgage insurance premium (MIP) paid monthly. The annual MIP rate depends on your loan amount, down payment, and term length. For most borrowers putting 3.5% down on a 30-year loan, the annual MIP is 0.55% of the loan balance. Unlike conventional PMI, FHA MIP remains for the life of the loan unless you refinance to a conventional loan after building sufficient equity.

A 3-bedroom single-family home in Centerville typically rents for $1,800–$2,200, with 4-bedroom homes reaching $2,200–$2,600 depending on condition and location. Townhomes and condos range from $1,400–$1,800. These rents are competitive with Bountiful and slightly below Farmington.

Centerville has limited undeveloped land, and much of the remaining open space faces development challenges (steep terrain, wetlands, or established zoning). Some infill projects and tear-down/rebuilds occur sporadically. This supply constraint is actually a benefit for existing property owners, without new competition flooding the market, existing inventory maintains its value and rental demand. The city's General Plan prioritizes maintaining neighborhood character over density increases.
