Consumers Will Take a Haunted House\u2014at a Discount<\/h1>\n

In this hot market, many Americans are willing to overlook a few ghosts for the right home and list price. Nearly a third\u2014or 30%\u2014say they\u2019d be willing to live with a \u201cfriendly\u201d ghost, according to realtor.com\u00ae\u2019s annual Halloween survey. Twenty percent say they would live in a home where a murder has taken place. \u201cIn today\u2019s ultra-competitive housing market, buyers are looking for a break,\u201d says Clare Trapasso, realtor.com\u00ae\u2019s deputy news editor. \u201cThe majority are willing to consider homes that are rumored to be haunted, especially if they can get these properties at a discount.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sixty-three percent of respondents say they\u2019d be willing to live in a haunted house at a discounted price. Most respondents say they would expect more than 20% off the market price for a haunted home. Sixty-nine percent say that if a murder has taken place in the home, they expect more than 10% shaved off the market price; nearly a quarter say they\u2019d want a discount of more than 50%, the survey found.<\/p>\n

Nearly three-fourths of respondents who believe they\u2019ve lived in a haunted home before say they didn\u2019t know until after they moved in, citing strange noises, an eerie feeling in certain rooms, shadows, odd pet behavior, items moving on their own, and hot or cold spots. Some respondents report ghost sightings (33%), lights turning on and off (31%), or levitating objects (12%).<\/p>\n

\u201cHome buyers who are concerned about a home\u2019s past should be sure to ask questions and do some research before they buy a new house,\u201d Trapasso says. \u201cOnly a few states require sellers to inform house hunters if someone died on the property. Some people who find themselves living in a home they believe to be haunted turn to specialists, like paranormal investigators, spiritual healers, and even church-sanctioned religious leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
