Homes Under $300,000 in Fairview, Utah
Fairview sits at the north end of Sanpete County, about 90 minutes south of Provo on Highway 89, and it's one of the few places along the Wasatch Plateau where a budget under $300K still has real options. The town itself is small — around 1,250 residents — with a mix of older farmhouses on big lots, modest ramblers built between the 1960s and 1990s, and the occasional manufactured home on an acre or two. Buyers here are typically a mix of retirees cashing out of the Salt Lake or Utah County markets, remote workers wanting quiet, and locals tied to ranching, Snow College in nearby Ephraim, or jobs at the Skyline Mine.
What $300K buys in Fairview is usually a 2-3 bedroom home on a sizable lot, often with outbuildings, irrigation rights, or room for a horse or two — things that disappeared from Wasatch Front budgets years ago. Winters are cold (Fairview sits at about 6,000 feet), summers are mild, and Skyline Drive and the Manti-La Sal National Forest are minutes from town for hunting, ATVs, and snowmobiling. Inventory in this price band is thin and moves when it's priced right, so checking back regularly matters more here than in bigger markets.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Fairview.
How many homes under $300K are typically for sale in Fairview at one time? ▾
Fairview is a small town of roughly 1,200 residents, so active inventory under $300K is usually thin — often somewhere between zero and six listings at any given moment. New listings move quickly when priced right, so setting up an MLS alert is the practical way to catch them.
What kind of home does $300K actually buy in Fairview? ▾
At this price you're generally looking at older 2-3 bedroom homes from the early-to-mid 1900s, sometimes with updates, on lots ranging from a city quarter-acre to half an acre or more. Occasionally a smaller newer build or a fixer with outbuildings and irrigation shares lands in this range.
Are most homes under $300K on city water and sewer or well and septic? ▾
Inside the Fairview town limits most properties are on city water and sewer, but homes on the outskirts toward Fairview Canyon or south toward Mt. Pleasant often run on private well and septic. Always confirm in the MLS remarks and ask for recent septic inspection records.
Can I get a USDA loan on a Fairview home under $300K? ▾
Yes — Fairview is designated as a USDA-eligible rural area, which means qualified buyers can finance with zero down through the USDA Rural Development loan program. That's a meaningful advantage at this price point and is one reason the sub-$300K segment moves quickly when it appears.
What are property taxes like on a home in this price range? ▾
Sanpete County property taxes run roughly 0.55%-0.65% of assessed value for a primary residence with the Utah residential exemption, so a $275,000 home typically falls in the $1,500-$1,800 per year range. Non-primary residences are taxed at the full rate and run notably higher.
Is Fairview a reasonable commute to anywhere? ▾
It's about 25 minutes to Ephraim and Snow College, 15 minutes to Mt. Pleasant, an hour to Nephi, and right around 1 hour 45 minutes to the south end of the Salt Lake Valley. Most under-$300K buyers here are remote workers, retirees, or employed locally rather than commuting daily to the Wasatch Front.
