Homes Under $300,000 in South Jordan, Utah
South Jordan is one of the harder Salt Lake County cities to shop in under $300K, and any buyer working this price range needs a realistic picture going in. The city's median sale price has hovered well north of $600K for several years, driven by Daybreak's planned community, the Mountain View Corridor job growth, and easy access to Silicon Slopes via Bangerter Highway. What you'll see at the sub-$300K mark is almost entirely condos and townhome interior units — think the older complexes off Redwood Road, smaller two-bedroom units near 10600 South, and resale attached homes on the edges of Daybreak. Detached single-family houses at this price are essentially gone from the market unless something needs heavy renovation.
That said, South Jordan at this budget still delivers real value: Jordan and Bingham high school boundaries, the TRAX Red Line into downtown Salt Lake, Mountain View Village shopping, and a 25-minute drive to the SLC airport. First-time buyers using FHA or down payment assistance through Utah Housing Corporation use this price bracket regularly, and investors target the same units for long-term rentals because of the steady tenant pool from the south valley tech corridor. Expect HOA dues on nearly every listing, and expect to move quickly when something well-priced hits the market — inventory below $300K turns over faster than any other segment in the city.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in South Jordan.
Can you actually find single-family homes under $300K in South Jordan? ▾
Rarely. South Jordan's single-family median is well above $600K, so detached houses under $300K are almost always older, smaller properties or rare distressed sales. The vast majority of inventory in this price range is condos, townhomes, or manufactured homes.
What kinds of properties dominate the under-$300K range here? ▾
Condos in communities along Redwood Road and near 10400 South, interior townhome units in older projects, and manufactured homes in age-restricted parks where you own the home and lease the lot. Each comes with different financing rules and monthly costs.
Do HOA fees significantly affect what I can afford? ▾
Yes, and they vary widely — anywhere from around $150 to over $400 per month in South Jordan condo and townhome communities. Lenders count HOA dues in your debt-to-income ratio, so a high fee can knock $30K–$50K off your maximum loan amount. Always ask what the dues cover before comparing two listings.
Will FHA or VA loans work on condos in this price range? ▾
Often yes, but only if the specific condo project is FHA- or VA-approved. Some South Jordan complexes are approved, others aren't, and approval status can change. Your agent or lender can pull the current status on any building you're considering before you write an offer.
Are manufactured homes on leased land a good buy under $300K? ▾
They can work well for buyers who want low entry pricing and an active 55+ community, but the lot rent (often $700–$1,000+ per month) is on top of your mortgage and typically rises annually. Financing is also different — chattel loans rather than traditional mortgages — and they don't appreciate like land-owned property.
What first-time buyer programs help in this price range? ▾
Utah Housing Corporation offers down payment assistance and below-market rates for qualifying first-time buyers, and both FHA (3.5% down) and conventional 3% down loans are common at this price point. VA loans require no down payment for eligible veterans. A local lender can run all three side by side.
How fast do sub-$300K listings move in South Jordan? ▾
Faster than the city average. This is the entry-level price point in one of the most desirable Salt Lake County suburbs, so well-priced condos and townhomes often see multiple offers within the first week. Having financing fully pre-approved before you tour is important.
