Brian Head, Utah

Homes Under $300,000 in Brian Head, Utah

Brian Head sits at 9,800 feet, which makes it the highest town in Utah and one of the tightest housing markets in the state for anyone shopping under $300K. What you'll typically find in this price range are studio and one-bedroom condos in complexes like Chateau Blanc, Cedar Breaks Condos, or Brianhead Towne Center, plus the occasional fixer cabin on a small lot off Highway 143. Detached single-family homes at this price point are rare — most of what trades under $300K here is attached or semi-attached, built in the 1970s-90s, and used as a ski-season rental or weekend base rather than a full-time residence.

Buyers drawn to this range are usually looking for proximity to Brian Head Resort's lifts, easy access to Cedar Breaks National Monument in summer, and a low-maintenance property they can lock and leave. HOA dues matter more than usual here since snow removal, roof maintenance, and shared amenities in these smaller complexes get baked into monthly costs — factor that into your real monthly number, not just the list price. Because inventory turns over fast and there often aren't more than a handful of listings under $300K at any given time, it pays to move quickly when something matches.

Common questions

About homes under $300k in Brian Head.

What kind of property does $300K actually buy in Brian Head?

At this price point, expect a studio or one-bedroom condo, typically between 400 and 700 square feet, in a complex like Cedar Breaks Lodge, Grand Lodge, or one of the older Aspen-style buildings near the lifts. Detached cabins almost never fall under $300K in Brian Head. Many of these units come furnished and are already set up as short-term rentals.

Can I use a sub-$300K Brian Head condo as a short-term rental?

Yes, Brian Head is one of the few Utah mountain towns where nightly rentals are broadly permitted, and most condos in this price range sit in HOAs that allow them. Some buildings have on-site rental management. Check the HOA docs for any minimum-stay rules and confirm the town's current STR registration requirements before closing.

How high are HOA dues on these smaller condos?

HOA fees in Brian Head are heavier than most Utah buyers expect, often $400 to $700 per month for condos under $300K. Dues usually cover heat, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, exterior maintenance, and sometimes cable or internet. That's a big reason units stay affordable up front — the building handles the brutal snow load and heating costs.

Is financing tricky on a condo this small or this cheap?

It can be. Many lenders require a minimum square footage (often 500 sq ft) and a condo project warrant, and non-warrantable buildings with heavy rental concentration may push you into a portfolio or second-home loan with 20-25% down. Working with a lender who has closed deals in Brian Head specifically will save headaches.

What are property taxes like on a $300K Brian Head condo?

If the unit is a second home or rental (which most are), it's taxed at the non-primary rate, roughly 1.0-1.15% of assessed value in Iron County. Budget around $2,500 to $3,500 per year. Only owners who actually live there full-time qualify for the primary residence exemption that cuts the taxable value by 45%.

How is the inventory under $300K right now?

It fluctuates with the ski season — listings tend to thin out in late fall when buyers want to be in before winter, and loosen up in spring. On a typical week you'll see anywhere from a handful to a dozen active condos under $300K. Browse the current listings below to see what's on the market today.
