Homes Under $300,000 in Perry, Utah
Perry sits along the base of the Wellsville Mountains in northern Box Elder County, a quiet stretch between Brigham City and Willard that's long been a fallback for buyers priced out of Ogden and Logan. Homes under $300K here are getting scarce, but they still turn up — mostly older ramblers and starter homes built in the 1970s and 80s on the west side near Highway 89, plus the occasional manufactured or modular home on a larger lot. Perry doesn't have the newer subdivisions you'll find in Willard or Mantua at this price; those have mostly pushed north of $350K. What you're looking at under $300K is typically 3 bedrooms, 1-2 baths, 1,000-1,600 square feet, and a lot size that's often bigger than what you'd get in Brigham City proper.
The draw for this price range is straightforward: Perry is a 10-minute drive to I-15, about 20 minutes to the Ogden job market, and close enough to Bear River High School and Box Elder School District boundaries that families use it as an entry point into a slower-paced part of the valley. Winters bring real snow off the Wellsvilles, and most of these homes run natural gas heat rather than electric, which matters for a buyer's monthly budget. Inventory at this level moves fast when it appears, often needing cosmetic work — flooring, kitchens, roofs — since sellers price older homes here to reflect deferred maintenance.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Perry.
How many homes under $300K are typically available in Perry? ▾
Perry is a small town of roughly 5,000 residents, so the sub-$300K inventory is thin — usually a handful of listings at any given time. Most of what shows up in this range are older homes near 1100 South and the historic core, manufactured homes on owned land, or smaller townhomes. Check back often, because listings here tend to move within a couple weeks.
What kind of home can I realistically get under $300K in Perry? ▾
At this price point in Perry, expect 2-3 bedroom homes built in the 1970s-90s, smaller ramblers around 1,000-1,400 finished square feet, or manufactured/modular homes on a permanent foundation. Newer construction in Perry's subdivisions off Highway 89 generally starts above $400K, so under $300K usually means an older property or something needing updates.
Is Perry a good commute to Ogden or Brigham City for work? ▾
Yes — Perry sits right on US-89 between Brigham City (about 3 miles north) and Willard, with Ogden roughly 20 minutes south via I-15. ATK/Northrop Grumman in Promontory, Autoliv in Brigham City, and the IRS facility are all within an easy drive, which is part of why budget-conscious buyers look at Perry.
What's the property tax situation in Perry? ▾
Perry is in Box Elder County, which has some of the lower property tax rates along the Wasatch Front — generally around 0.6-0.7% of assessed value for a primary residence with the Utah owner-occupied exemption. On a $290K home that runs roughly $1,800-$2,000 a year, noticeably less than comparable homes in Weber or Davis County.
Are there any HOAs or fees I should watch for at this price? ▾
Most older Perry homes sit on standalone lots with no HOA, which is part of the appeal. The exception is townhomes and a few newer subdivisions off 1200 West and Highway 89 — those can carry monthly HOA dues of $100-$200. Always confirm before writing an offer, since it changes your true monthly payment.
Will a USDA loan work in Perry? ▾
Parts of Perry still qualify for USDA Rural Development financing, which means 0% down for eligible buyers under the income limits. Eligibility is address-specific and the maps get redrawn periodically, so verify the exact property on the USDA eligibility site or ask your lender to pull it before you tour.
