👻 Okay, Halloween question for everyone.

According to Gallup, 39% of Americans believe in ghosts. Another 19% aren’t sure.

So that’s almost 6 in 10 people who wouldn’t rule it out. 👀

Which means I have to ask... would you buy a house if you knew it was haunted? 🏚️

🅰️ Walk out mid showing
🅱️ Negotiate a “ghost discount”
🅲️ Move in and set an extra place at Thanksgiving

Bobby and I have both had buyers end a showing within minutes because a house “felt haunted.” No roof issues. No price issues. Just a bad feeling and a quick exit.

So now I want to hear yours. Have you ever lived in a house that felt off? Doors closing on their own? Footsteps upstairs when nobody’s home? A grandparent’s house everyone swore was haunted?

Drop your ghost stories in the comments. The creepier the better. 👇

Pre 1900 homes are a lot of things. Spacious closets are not one of them. 😄 They were built for two outfits: your everyday and your Sunday best.

Bobby and I talked through what you really take on with an old Victorian, Colonial or Saltbox. K**b and tube, sloped floors, field stone foundations, those tiny holes in the beams, and why you can’t always just replace the bad part.

And if your inspector says something “isn’t to code,” don’t panic. Nothing is. A house built yesterday may not meet tomorrow’s code, and in a home this old, almost nothing will.

We also talked about why people fall for them anyway. The woodwork. The stained glass. The molding. You can’t buy that new.

Thinking about an older home? Read our latest blog and watch our discussion on the DelRoseMcShane team site.

Thinking about redoing the kitchen before you sell your condo or after you buy? Read this first.

We looked at five years of sales at Northgate Gardens and Wellington Crossing in Waltham. 111 sales from MLSPIN, each one measured against units of the same size that sold at the same time.

At Northgate, renovated units used to sell for about 18% more than original ones. Since July 2024, it's about 9%. That's roughly $36,000 on a two-bedroom. A midrange kitchen and bath costs about $56,500 in New England, according to the Journal of Light Construction.

So the full renovation gets back about 64 cents on the dollar. A lighter refresh, paint and floors and a room, comes out close to even.

At Wellington Crossing, updates didn't move the price at all.

Big complexes mean lots of choices for buyers. There's always another unit. Plan your updates around ther building's own numbers.

Mortgage interest rates continue to climb following the Federal Reserve rate hike. Sorry for the bad news home buyers.
