Homes Under $300,000 in Perry, Utah
Perry, Utah sits in the northern Box Elder County stretch of the Wasatch Front, tucked between Brigham City to the south and Willard to the north, with the Wasatch Range rising sharply to the east and the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge wetlands spreading out to the west. It's a small city — roughly 5,000 residents — with a genuine small-town character that larger Wasatch Front suburbs have mostly lost. Homes priced under $300,000 in Perry tend to be older ranch-style or split-level properties, occasionally a manufactured home on its own lot, or a condo/townhome that gives first-time buyers a realistic foothold in Box Elder County's real estate market. Inventory at this price point moves quickly; Box Elder County has seen consistent demand from buyers priced out of Davis and Weber counties, where median single-family prices have climbed well past $400,000.
The practical case for Perry at this price range is real. Commuters to Ogden are about 20 miles south on I-15, and Salt Lake City is roughly 65 miles — manageable with an early start. Hill Air Force Base, one of Utah's largest employers, is about 35 miles south in Layton. Perry's kids attend Box Elder School District, with Box Elder High School serving the area. Winters are milder than Utah's mountain towns — Perry sits at roughly 4,400 feet elevation and sees cold but not extreme temperatures — and summers are warm and dry, making the area livable year-round without the snowpack of higher-elevation communities. If a sub-$300K price point is the number that makes homeownership work for you in northern Utah, Perry is a market worth watching closely.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Perry.
How many homes under $300K are typically available in Perry? ▾
Perry is a small town of roughly 5,000 residents, so the sub-$300K inventory is thin — usually a handful of listings at any given time. Most of what shows up in this range are older homes near 1100 South and the historic core, manufactured homes on owned land, or smaller townhomes. Check back often, because listings here tend to move within a couple weeks.
What kind of home can I realistically get under $300K in Perry? ▾
At this price point in Perry, expect 2-3 bedroom homes built in the 1970s-90s, smaller ramblers around 1,000-1,400 finished square feet, or manufactured/modular homes on a permanent foundation. Newer construction in Perry's subdivisions off Highway 89 generally starts above $400K, so under $300K usually means an older property or something needing updates.
Is Perry a good commute to Ogden or Brigham City for work? ▾
Yes — Perry sits right on US-89 between Brigham City (about 3 miles north) and Willard, with Ogden roughly 20 minutes south via I-15. ATK/Northrop Grumman in Promontory, Autoliv in Brigham City, and the IRS facility are all within an easy drive, which is part of why budget-conscious buyers look at Perry.
What's the property tax situation in Perry? ▾
Perry is in Box Elder County, which has some of the lower property tax rates along the Wasatch Front — generally around 0.6-0.7% of assessed value for a primary residence with the Utah owner-occupied exemption. On a $290K home that runs roughly $1,800-$2,000 a year, noticeably less than comparable homes in Weber or Davis County.
Are there any HOAs or fees I should watch for at this price? ▾
Most older Perry homes sit on standalone lots with no HOA, which is part of the appeal. The exception is townhomes and a few newer subdivisions off 1200 West and Highway 89 — those can carry monthly HOA dues of $100-$200. Always confirm before writing an offer, since it changes your true monthly payment.
Will a USDA loan work in Perry? ▾
Parts of Perry still qualify for USDA Rural Development financing, which means 0% down for eligible buyers under the income limits. Eligibility is address-specific and the maps get redrawn periodically, so verify the exact property on the USDA eligibility site or ask your lender to pull it before you tour.
