Homes Under $300,000 in Parowan, Utah
Parowan sits at the north end of Iron County, about 20 minutes up I-15 from Cedar City and roughly 250 miles south of Salt Lake. It's a small town — population hovers near 3,000 — with a historic Main Street, the original 1860s rock tabernacle, and front-row access to Brian Head ski resort 12 miles up the canyon. Under $300K still buys real square footage here, which is increasingly rare in Utah. At this price point shoppers are typically looking at older homes on the tree-lined grid west of Main, manufactured homes on larger Iron County lots, smaller two- and three-bedroom ramblers from the 70s and 80s, or the occasional fixer with a detached shop. Vacant building lots also fall into this range if new construction is on the table.
The trade-offs are honest ones. Inventory under $300K is thin — Parowan often has only a handful of active listings at any given time, so patience matters. Most homes in this bracket were built before 1990, which means buyers should budget for roof, HVAC, and sometimes septic updates. On the upside, property taxes in Iron County are among the lowest in the state, winters are cold but sunny (Parowan sits at 6,000 feet), and the commute to jobs in Cedar City or SUU is straightforward. Hunters, retirees, and second-home buyers chasing Brian Head access make up a big chunk of the demand. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market under $300K in Parowan.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Parowan.
How many homes under $300K are usually for sale in Parowan? ▾
Inventory is small. Parowan typically has somewhere between two and ten active listings under $300K at any given time, and that includes manufactured homes and fixers. If nothing on the current list fits, it's worth checking back weekly — turnover is slow but steady.
What kind of home does $300K actually buy in Parowan? ▾
Most homes in this range are 1,000–1,800 sq ft ramblers or older two-stories built between 1900 and 1990, often on lots of a quarter acre or larger. Manufactured homes on permanent foundations also show up here, as do a few cabins and building lots. Expect some deferred maintenance at this price.
Is Parowan a reasonable commute to Cedar City for work? ▾
Yes. It's about 19 miles down I-15 to Cedar City, roughly a 20-minute drive in good weather. Many Parowan residents work at SUU, Cedar City schools, or the regional hospital and accept the commute in exchange for cheaper housing and small-town life.
Are property taxes low in Iron County? ▾
Iron County has some of the lower effective property tax rates in Utah, generally well under 1% of assessed value for a primary residence. On a $275,000 home that often pencils out to roughly $1,200–$1,600 per year, though exact bills depend on the taxing district and primary-residence exemption.
Can I get financing on older or manufactured homes in this price range? ▾
Usually yes, but it depends on the property. Conventional, FHA, USDA, and VA loans all work in Parowan, and USDA is a real option here since the area qualifies as rural. Manufactured homes need a permanent foundation and a HUD tag for most loan programs, and pre-1976 mobile homes generally won't finance conventionally.
What should I inspect carefully on an older Parowan home? ▾
At 6,000 feet of elevation with cold winters, pay close attention to the roof, attic insulation, furnace age, and any signs of frozen-pipe history. Many older homes are on septic rather than city sewer, so a septic inspection is worth the cost. Also check for knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring in pre-1970 houses.
