With Halloween quickly approaching our attention is turning towards goblins, ghosts and demons. For Real Estate this turns us to thinking about haunted houses. Do they really exist?
In fact the haunted house is a legitimate piece of Real Estate terminology. However it usually is not related to an actual apparition inhabiting the home. A haunted house is most commonly a home that has had a horrific act take place within its walls. Whether it is a recent murder, suicide or accidental death these all need to be disclosed by the homeowner and the agent representing the sale.
If you are interested in more information about haunted or stigmatized homes, you should check out Haunted Real Estate . This site is loaded with information about ghost tours, disclosure laws and so much more.
Remember, the key to selling a haunted or distressed property is disclosure. So if there are hot and cold zones, disclose them. If you see apparitions, specters or floating objects, disclose it. If you know there was a murder, suicide or accidental death at the property, disclose it.
Now go out and find your next haunted residence. Explore its dark and fragmented past. Be one with the spirit world. But keep your head.
