Homes Under $300,000 in South Ogden, Utah
South Ogden sits at the base of the Wasatch Range along Washington Boulevard and Adams Avenue, close to Weber State University and a straight shot down US-89 to Ogden or south to Layton. It's long been one of Weber County's more affordable pockets, but homes under $300K here have gotten scarcer as the county's median has climbed past $400K over the past few years. What's left in this range tends to be older ramblers and split-entry homes from the 1960s-80s in neighborhoods like Burch Creek or near Bonneville, along with the occasional condo or townhome off Skyline Drive or 40th Street. Some need cosmetic work, and a few are age-restricted or HOA communities with lower buy-in costs.
Buyers chasing this price point are usually first-timers, Weber State staff and grad students, or people who want proximity to the mountains and Ogden's downtown scene without Park City-level pricing. Expect smaller square footage, sometimes under 1,200 finished square feet, and lots that may back up to the bench or offer partial valley views. Because inventory this low moves fast and often needs a fast pre-approval to compete, it helps to have a lender letter ready before you tour.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in South Ogden.
What kind of homes can I actually get under $300K in South Ogden? ▾
At this price point you're mostly looking at 2-3 bedroom condos and townhomes, smaller ranch homes built between 1950 and 1980, or manufactured homes on owned land. Detached single-family under $300K usually means around 1,000-1,300 sq ft with one bathroom and some deferred maintenance. Move-in ready detached homes at this price are rare and tend to sell within a week.
Are there many condos and townhomes in South Ogden under $300K? ▾
Yes — attached product is where most of the inventory under $300K shows up. Communities along Adams Avenue, 40th Street, and near the Mount Ogden golf course area regularly have 2-bed units listed in the $220K-$290K range. Expect HOA fees of roughly $150-$300/month covering exterior maintenance, water, and sometimes trash.
Do FHA and VA loans work well in this price range? ▾
Both are common here. FHA's 2024 single-family loan limit for Weber County is well above $300K, so financing isn't the constraint — condition is. Older homes may need lender-required repairs (peeling paint, roof life, handrails), so build a small repair budget into your offer and ask your agent to flag obvious red flags before you write.
What are property taxes like on a $275K home in South Ogden? ▾
If it's your primary residence, expect roughly $1,400-$1,700 per year after the 45% residential exemption. Non-owner-occupied (rentals) pay nearly double on the same assessed value, which is worth running through your numbers if you're buying as an investor.
Is South Ogden a good area for a rental investment under $300K? ▾
It can work. Proximity to Weber State, McKay-Dee Hospital, and Hill Air Force Base (about 15 minutes south) keeps demand steady for 2-3 bedroom rentals. Gross rents in the area typically run $1,500-$1,900 for a small house or townhome, so cash flow is tight at today's rates but achievable with 20-25% down.
How fast do homes under $300K go under contract here? ▾
Move-in ready listings under $300K usually see offers within 3-10 days, and multiple offers are still common on anything updated. Fixers and dated properties sit a bit longer — two to four weeks — which is where patient buyers can sometimes negotiate price or closing cost help.
