Taos Homes for Sale Under $300,000

In this range, most residential opportunities are condos/townhomes and smaller casitas, often older homes with character details (vigas, kiva fireplaces, plaster walls). You’ll commonly see them near or just outside the Taos core for access to shops and services, on parts of the El Prado mesa (modest homes or fixers with big-sky views), and as cozy cabins along the Taos Canyon corridor. Entry-level Earthships do appear, usually compact models with basic off-grid systems. Typical home size is around 600–1,000 sq ft (some up to ~1,200 sq ft), with 1–2 bedrooms most common; single-car carports are more likely than garages. Many condo buildings carry HOA fees, trading yardwork for lock-and-leave living. Inventory moves quickly, expect move-in-ready units to go first, while value buyers explore light updates or cosmetic renovations to stretch their budget.
