Homes Under $300,000 in Kanab, Utah
Kanab sits at the crossroads of Highway 89 and Highway 89A, a small tourism-driven town of about 5,000 people surrounded by red-rock formations, Zion National Park's east entrance, and the Grand Staircase-Escalante. Under $300K here typically means a manufactured or modular home on a larger lot outside the historic core, an older single-level frame or brick house built in the 1960s-80s needing some updating, or a smaller 2-3 bedroom home in one of the subdivisions off Hancock Road or Kanab Creek Ranchos. Because Kanab's economy leans on tourism, government land jobs, and a growing remote-work population drawn by the scenery, entry-level inventory moves fast, especially anything with a garage or usable yard.
Water rights and well versus city hookup matter more here than in bigger Wasatch Front markets, so it's worth checking utility setup before getting attached to a listing. Lot sizes tend to run larger than typical suburban tracts, which appeals to buyers wanting space for an RV, workshop, or small hobby setup, but it also means more gravel, less landscaping, and sometimes unpaved frontage roads. Kane County's limited inventory means price and condition can vary widely block to block, so comparing recent solds is more useful than relying on list price alone.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Kanab.
What kind of home can I actually get for under $300K in Kanab? ▾
At this price point in Kanab, expect older single-wides and manufactured homes on permanent foundations, small 2-bedroom site-built houses from the 1970s-80s in the original townsite, and the occasional condo or townhome. Lot sizes vary widely — some sub-$300K listings sit on a quarter acre near downtown, others are double-wides on an acre out toward Johnson Canyon.
Is $300K considered affordable in Kanab right now? ▾
It's the lower end of the local market. Kanab's median sale price has been running in the high $400s to low $500s, pushed up by out-of-state buyers and the short-term rental crowd chasing proximity to Zion and the Grand Canyon. Anything under $300K tends to move quickly and usually needs cosmetic work or has square footage under 1,400.
Can I use a sub-$300K Kanab home as a short-term rental? ▾
Maybe, but check the zoning before you write an offer. Kanab City has specific overlay zones where nightly rentals are permitted, and homes outside those zones can't legally operate as STRs. Many of the cheaper listings sit in residential-only areas, so verify with the city planning department rather than relying on what a listing says.
Are there HOA fees to watch for in this price range? ▾
Most sub-$300K detached homes in Kanab have no HOA, but condos and townhomes near downtown or out by the golf course usually do — typically $150 to $300 a month. Manufactured homes in lot-lease parks come with monthly lot rent that can run $400-$600, which lenders will factor into your debt-to-income.
How's the well and septic situation on cheaper rural listings? ▾
Properties just outside Kanab city limits — toward Mt. Carmel Junction or down toward Fredonia — often run on private well and septic. Get the well flow tested and the septic inspected during your due diligence. Water rights in Kane County are tight, so confirm any shares convey with the property.
What's the property tax picture in Kane County? ▾
Kane County property taxes are among the lower rates in Utah, roughly 0.5% to 0.6% of assessed value for a primary residence with the owner-occupied exemption. A $280,000 home taxed as a primary runs about $1,400-$1,700 a year. Non-primary and short-term rental properties lose the exemption and pay closer to double that.
