Homes Under $300,000 in Fairview, Utah
Fairview sits at the north end of Sanpete County along Highway 89, about an hour southeast of Provo and closer to 90 minutes from the Salt Lake valley. It's small-town Utah in the truest sense — a farming and ranching community backed by the Wasatch Plateau, with mule deer wandering into yards and the Skyline Drive high country practically out the back door. Because Sanpete County land and construction costs run well below the Wasatch Front, $300,000 still buys real breathing room here: older brick farmhouses on quarter-acre-plus lots, mid-century ramblers near Fairview Elementary, and the occasional newer manufactured or modular home on a few acres outside town limits.
Buyers drawn to this price range are usually looking for one of a few things: a full-time home with land and low overhead, a base camp for hunting and Skyline access, or a commuter setup for those working in Ephraim, Mount Pleasant, or Manti's state and healthcare jobs. Snow load and older heating systems are worth budgeting for — winters here are colder and longer than in the southern part of the state — but property taxes and insurance stay modest, which helps offset utility costs. Inventory under $300K moves in and out depending on the season, with more activity in spring and early summer. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market in this range.

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.
