See the question in the title...Would you take a haunted listing? Why or why not?
The laws for selling haunted, or Stigmatized Property, vary from state to state. So here are some not-so-fun facts about those properties:
- In New York, agents are not required to disclose a haunting to potential buyers
- Almost all states require disclosure of properties that are famous for their paranormal activity. (Such as the house from the Amityville Horror)
- California requires sellers to reveal if an untimely death occured within the last 3 years
- North Carolina is not required to reveal information about death, but must be truthful if asked directly
- The majority of home inspections don't inspect hauntings.
There is probably more debate about wether hauntings are real or not. We are interested in hearing your opinions and experiences.
