I Know Halloween Has Finished,

but I have only just seen this spooky way to increase the price of your home,

if you are in New Orleans and most probably a few other places, take out the word 'Not', yes indeed haunted house can demand a premium, in New Orleans and a few other places, some say “Haunted” or “Not Haunted.” a haunted house disclosure is not necessarily a dealbreaker, “For some people, that’s what they want,” says Bell. Sure, sometimes a haunting can be a turn-off, but it all depends on the market and, well, the ghosts. In the case of the Nyack home, the house’s famous paranormal and legal status has probably boosted its price. In the past, it’s sold for significantly more than comparable houses in the area; in 2019 it’s listed for substantially more, per square foot, than other houses in Nyack, though it’s also a very nice house that’s literally on the Hudson River, so if you are selling remember to make sure there are a few creepy happenings as the perspective buyers are looking around your home, as in Beetlejuice! there are various laws about property disclosures, and some states even have laws about disclosing haunting, you can read more about the business of buying and selling haunted houses here, photograph PAUL BRENNAN / PUBLIC DOMAIN.
