If a house is known to be haunted, does the value of the house increase or decrease?

Leo F

If a house is known to be haunted it is "stigmatized" most of the time the value may go down. But if a famous person died there it may go up. Depending on the buyer.

linkus86

If a house is known to be haunted it is "stigmatized" which often decreases its value. But, value is in the eyes of the buyer.

Smeather

It should decrease the value that way when the wackos move in they'll have enough money left to see a shrink.

dalton

More prospected buyers, higher offer. Few prospected buyers, value decreases of course! Seldom and rare are buyers of a haunted house, don't be surprised if they ask half of the orig value

value in the eyes of the consumer. so it depends.
