<td class="mcnTextContent" style="padding: 0 18px 9px 18px;" valign="top">In real estate, a home associated with a murder, death, or alleged ghosts is known as a <strong>stigmatized property</strong>. There's nothing physically wrong with the house. The problem is how buyers feel about it. And sometimes that reputation comes with a price.
<p>Take the &ldquo;Los Feliz Murder Mansion&rdquo; in Los Angeles. In 1959, the grand Spanish Revival home was the site of a notorious family tragedy. Afterward, it sat largely unoccupied for decades, becoming a neighborhood legend. When it finally sold in 2020, the buyer paid $2.35 million&mdash;33% below its original $3.5 million asking price.</p>
<p><strong>But one buyer's nightmare can be another&rsquo;s dream home.</strong> In a recent survey, 39% of buyers said they'd buy a house they knew was haunted, while another 26% said they'd at least consider it.</p>
<p>Most wanted a substantial discount for accepting a supernatural roommate. But not everyone. <strong>Sometimes a haunted reputation can be part of a home&rsquo;s allure as an Airbnb or tourist attraction.</strong></p>
<p>For instance, the Rhode Island farmhouse that inspired <em>The Conjuring</em> was listed for $1.2 million. A buyer fascinated by the paranormal paid $1.525 million&mdash;27% over asking. The house was already attracting visitors and paranormal investigators, making it a spooky good investment.</p>
<p><strong>So how much is a ghost worth? </strong>Like everything else in real estate, whatever the market is willing to pay&mdash;or not pay&mdash;for one. Let me know if you need an appraisal on your haunted house.</p>

<h3 class="null" style="text-align: center;">"Mortgage rates are high. Should we wait to buy?"</h3>
<p>Waiting to buy until rates fall might save you money&mdash;but only if home prices don&rsquo;t rise in the meantime. If the home you want home costs considerably more by the time rates come down, the higher purchase price could wipe out your interest savings.</p>
<p>My advice: Buy a home you can comfortably afford at today&rsquo;s payment. Then&hellip;</p>
<ul>
<li>If rates eventually fall, you may have an opportunity to lower your borrowing costs in the future.</li>
<li>If rates stay where they are, waiting accomplished little.</li>
<li>And if rates rise, today&rsquo;s mortgage could suddenly look pretty attractive. You&rsquo;ll also have spent those waiting years owning the home rather than wondering whether you should have bought earlier.</li>
</ul>
The key is to choose a home that fits comfortably within your budget at today&rsquo;s rates. If you can afford the payment now, you don&rsquo;t need to predict where rates are headed to feel good about the decision.
<p>And if rates eventually fall enough to give you an opportunity to lower your borrowing costs, consider that an added benefit&mdash;not something you needed to make the purchase work.</p>

<h3 class="null" style="text-align: center;">Why do ghosts say &ldquo;Boo&rdquo;?</h3>
For centuries, shouting &ldquo;bo&rdquo; or &ldquo;boh&rdquo; wasn&rsquo;t meant to terrify, but to announce your presence or chase off animals like geese.&nbsp;By the 1700s in Scotland, people were using &ldquo;boo&rdquo; to scare small children. By the 1800s, it had become associated with ghosts.&nbsp;The spirit world eventually settled on a standard greeting and has seen no reason to update it.&nbsp;Happy Halloween!</td>

<p>If you're memory challenged, try these hacks: ● Can't remember where you put something? Say its location out loud: &ldquo;The passport is in the blue desk drawer.&rdquo; ● Need to remember something tomorrow? Put an unusual object in your path&mdash;a shoe on the kitchen counter will make you stop and ask why. ● For dates and numbers, create a silly association: a 2:30 appointment becomes &ldquo;two people eating three doughnuts. <strong>Our brains are remarkably good at remembering the unusual, so make your reminders a little weird.</strong><br /> &nbsp;</p>

<h3>This year, give your smoke detector a real smoke test</h3>
<p>It&rsquo;s October, which means it&rsquo;s time to test your smoke detectors. Most of us walk around the house and&nbsp;push the small "test" button to make sure the alarm sounds.&nbsp;Unfortunately, that only tests the circuitry and the sounder, not the physical sensor inside that detects particulate.</p>
<p>To be sure your detector works, you need to use "canned smoke," which you can buy online or any hardware store. Stand at a safe distance and spray a small amount toward the detector. If the alarm doesn&rsquo;t sound quickly, the sensor is likely dirty, blocked, or has failed. A real smoke test like this is the only way to know for sure.</p>

Here&rsquo;s why:</p>
<p>When you speak, you hear your own voice in two ways: through the air and through vibrations traveling through the bones in your skull. Those vibrations emphasize lower frequencies, making your voice sound richer to you.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A recording eliminates that bone-conducted sound. What remains is much closer to the voice everyone around you has been hearing all along. The good news? They&rsquo;re already used to it. You're the only one who thinks you sound strange.</p>
