Homes Under $300,000 in South Jordan, Utah
Finding a home under $300,000 in South Jordan has become one of the more competitive pursuits along the Wasatch Front. South Jordan sits roughly 18 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City in the fast-growing southwest valley corridor, and its median home price has climbed well above $500,000 in recent years — which means sub-$300K listings move quickly and represent a distinct slice of the market. At this price point, buyers are typically looking at condos, townhomes, or occasionally older single-family homes that need cosmetic updating. The Daybreak master-planned community, Bangerter Crossing, and the River Oaks neighborhoods each carry their own price dynamics, so understanding where in South Jordan a listing sits matters as much as the number on the price tag.
South Jordan's appeal is straightforward: top-rated Jordan School District schools like Elk Meadows Elementary and Bingham High, a growing commercial corridor along Bangerter Highway, and light-rail (TRAX) access at the Daybreak extension make it attractive to first-time buyers and commuters alike. At under $300,000, buyers should be prepared to move with pre-approval in hand, since well-priced units in this range routinely see multiple offers within days of hitting the MLS. A local agent who tracks new listings daily can be the difference between getting a showing and missing out entirely. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in South Jordan.
Can you actually find single-family homes under $300K in South Jordan? ▾
Rarely. South Jordan's single-family median is well above $600K, so detached houses under $300K are almost always older, smaller properties or rare distressed sales. The vast majority of inventory in this price range is condos, townhomes, or manufactured homes.
What kinds of properties dominate the under-$300K range here? ▾
Condos in communities along Redwood Road and near 10400 South, interior townhome units in older projects, and manufactured homes in age-restricted parks where you own the home and lease the lot. Each comes with different financing rules and monthly costs.
Do HOA fees significantly affect what I can afford? ▾
Yes, and they vary widely — anywhere from around $150 to over $400 per month in South Jordan condo and townhome communities. Lenders count HOA dues in your debt-to-income ratio, so a high fee can knock $30K–$50K off your maximum loan amount. Always ask what the dues cover before comparing two listings.
Will FHA or VA loans work on condos in this price range? ▾
Often yes, but only if the specific condo project is FHA- or VA-approved. Some South Jordan complexes are approved, others aren't, and approval status can change. Your agent or lender can pull the current status on any building you're considering before you write an offer.
Are manufactured homes on leased land a good buy under $300K? ▾
They can work well for buyers who want low entry pricing and an active 55+ community, but the lot rent (often $700–$1,000+ per month) is on top of your mortgage and typically rises annually. Financing is also different — chattel loans rather than traditional mortgages — and they don't appreciate like land-owned property.
What first-time buyer programs help in this price range? ▾
Utah Housing Corporation offers down payment assistance and below-market rates for qualifying first-time buyers, and both FHA (3.5% down) and conventional 3% down loans are common at this price point. VA loans require no down payment for eligible veterans. A local lender can run all three side by side.
How fast do sub-$300K listings move in South Jordan? ▾
Faster than the city average. This is the entry-level price point in one of the most desirable Salt Lake County suburbs, so well-priced condos and townhomes often see multiple offers within the first week. Having financing fully pre-approved before you tour is important.
