Answer
In ultra-tight markets, like tech hubs and inner-ring suburbs, haunted homes may sell near or at full asking price despite their stigma. Scarcity of listings and high demand often outweigh fears about ghosts. However, nationally the trend is that stigmatized properties sell below market value, as buyers negotiate discounts. Market conditions heavily influence pricing power and buyer willingness to overlook hauntings.
