Homes Under $300,000 in Sandy, Utah
Sandy sits at the south end of the Salt Lake Valley, tucked against the mouths of Little and Big Cottonwood canyons, and it's one of the harder Wasatch Front cities to crack for buyers working with a $300,000 budget. The median sale price here has hovered well north of $600K for years, so anything under $300K is almost always a condo, townhome, or smaller attached unit rather than a detached single-family house. That said, those listings do exist — particularly in the older communities around Historic Sandy, near Sandy Station TRAX, and in the Crescent area off 11400 South — and they give buyers a foothold in the Canyons School District without the half-million-dollar entry point most of Sandy demands.
What you give up in square footage at this price, you gain in location: 20 minutes to downtown Salt Lake, 25 minutes to the SLC airport, and roughly the same drive to Snowbird or Alta when the canyons open up in winter. Most units in this range run 900 to 1,400 square feet, carry HOA dues somewhere between $200 and $400 a month, and move quickly when they're priced right — often within a week or two of hitting the MLS. If you're financing with FHA or VA, confirm the complex is approved before writing an offer, since not every Sandy condo project is.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Sandy.
Can you actually buy a single-family house in Sandy under $300K? ▾
Rarely. Detached homes in Sandy almost always trade above $450K, and anything truly single-family under $300K is usually a small manufactured home on leased land or a heavily distressed property. Most active listings in this range are condos and townhomes.
What types of properties show up most often under $300K here? ▾
Two-bedroom condos in 1970s–1990s complexes, smaller townhomes near State Street and 9000 South, and an occasional studio or one-bedroom unit. Square footage typically lands between 700 and 1,400. Many are walking distance to TRAX stations on the Blue Line.
How much should I budget for HOA fees at this price point? ▾
Plan on $200–$400 per month for most Sandy condos and townhomes. The higher fees usually include water, sewer, trash, exterior insurance, and roof reserves, which can be a fair trade. Always ask for the HOA financials and reserve study before writing an offer.
Which Sandy neighborhoods have the most inventory below $300K? ▾
Historic Sandy (around 8600 South and State), the Union area near 7000 South, and pockets along 1300 East tend to have the oldest and most affordable condo stock. Newer townhome construction in Sandy is almost all priced well above this range.
Are FHA and VA loans accepted on Sandy condos in this price range? ▾
Only if the complex is FHA- or VA-approved, and many older Sandy condo projects are not. Before you fall in love with a unit, have your lender check the project's approval status on the HUD or VA portal. Conventional financing with 3–5% down is often the more flexible path.
Is buying a Sandy condo under $300K a reasonable rental investment? ▾
It can be, but check the HOA's rental cap first — several Sandy complexes limit the percentage of units that can be leased and maintain waitlists. Rents on a two-bedroom in this area typically run $1,500–$1,900, so the math works on some units once HOA, taxes, and vacancy are factored in.
