Why do haunted house deals collapse without proper disclosure?

Answer
Haunted house deals often collapse due to buyer fear of surprises, which stem from incomplete or late disclosures. Over seventy percent of buyers expect upfront information about a home's stigmas before inspections. If sellers hide or minimize ghost stories or defects, buyers mistrust the transaction and may walk away. Proper disclosure from the start replaces fear with facts, smoothing negotiations and helping deals close successfully.
