With Halloween just days away, a recent survey suggests that some homeowners and potential homebuyers fear improvement projects more than ghosts.
Real Estate Witch, a division of Clever Real Estate, survey 1,500 people last month with 93% of them saying home repair issues are scarier than living in a home that's haunted.
Key repair issues they most fear include:
- Mold (68%)
- Foundation issues (64%)
- Termites (61%)
- Asbestos (61%)
- Leaky roof (57%)
- Water damage (57%)
Other insights from the survey include 70% saying they believe in the supernatural while 40% of respondents said they would not buy a haunted house under any circumstances.
