A recent survey by Real Estate Witch (yes, seriously) reveals that 52% of U.S. homebuyers would consider purchasing a haunted house — if the price was right. Financial concerns outweigh supernatural fears in today’s market, with most buyers more afraid of costly repairs than ghosts. While a majority would accept living with spirits, many draw the line at serious property defects or stigmas like murder or meth lab histories. Gen Z and millennials are more open to haunted homes compared to older generations, though stigma still affects resale expectations. The survey also found:

With low inventory and soaring prices, even ghosts are up for negotiation. It’s not the creaks or cold drafts that haunt buyers — it’s the fear of missing out. A full 25% of those who knowingly moved into a haunted house said they’d do it again, more than double last year’s 11%. Paranormal activity might give some pause, but in today’s market, losing a deal is the real nightmare. 👻

However, the auction was cancelled after the mortgage lender sold the underlying loan to a mystery buyer. Now the question is, what’s next for the legendary haunted house? 👻
