Never Lived-In ’90s Home for Sale in St. George, Utah

Discovering a Time Capsule: The Unoccupied Home in St. George

A home built in 1998 in St. George, Utah, has remained unoccupied since the day it was move-in ready. Keep scrolling to find out why, and check out the video tour of the listing below. The nostalgia alone is worth the quick, three-minute watch.

A Glimpse into the Past: The 1998 Home

The 1,762 square-foot home, which recently went (and now is off) the market in St. George, looks like your average '90s middle-class home. It features an open floor plan, white appliances, laminate countertops, and carpeting throughout.

The neighborhood is appealing and offers many amenities, such as an indoor and outdoor pool, a gym, and tennis and pickleball courts.

The Mystery of the Unoccupied Home

What's unusual about the home is that it's been sitting unoccupied since it was completed in 1998. By today's standards, it could use a facelift, but at the time, it would have been considered a nice house in a desired neighborhood. This begs the question: why would such a lovely home be left sitting for so long?

Why Hasn't The Home Been Lived In?

According to the agent narrating the walkthrough, whose video has gone viral on TikTok, the owner of the home bought the listing brand-new intending to move in. However, the owner traveled a lot on business and never ended up moving in.

A New Chapter: The Home Sold

According to the listing, the house recently sold in January 2024, and is now officially off the market and occupied. I wonder if the new owners plan on updating the interior, or will they enjoy living their best '90s life in their laminated and well-preserved abode.
