Homes Under $300,000 in Kanab, Utah
Kanab's entry-level market looks different from the rest of Utah right now. While Washington County and the Wasatch Front have largely priced first-time buyers out of the sub-$300K range, Kanab still delivers manufactured homes, older single-family houses, and the occasional fixer-upper in this bracket — mostly in town near 300 East and on the north side toward Kanab Creek, plus outlying parcels in Alton and Glendale where land does more of the work. Expect smaller square footage, homes built before 1990, or manufactured/modular construction on owned land. Kane County School District serves the area, and Kanab's own retail, medical, and tourism-driven job base (Best Western corridor, BLM and Forest Service offices, film industry ties going back decades) keeps a steady pool of local buyers competing for these same properties.
What pulls people to this price point in Kanab isn't just affordability — it's proximity to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Staircase, and Lake Powell without paying St. George or Springdale prices. Many buyers here are retirees downsizing, remote workers who don't need square footage, or investors eyeing short-term rental potential given the tourist traffic passing through on Highway 89. Inventory under $300K moves fast when it hits, often within days, since there simply isn't much of it. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

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.
