House Hunting or Haunted House Hunting? A Halloween Guide to Spooky Real Estate

Welcome, brave souls, to Coldwell Banker Premier in Bedford, PA, where we’re not afraid to tackle the ghostly side of real estate! As Halloween draws to a close, let’s have a bit of fun looking at some of the… spookier aspects of buying a home. No skeletons in the closet? Perfect. A mysterious draft in the dining room? Maybe we should check that out!

Is That “Creaking” a Charming Feature or… Something Else?

You may be wondering, “Is that charming old floorboard squeak just a part of the house’s charm—or the home’s way of saying, I have secrets?” Don’t worry; creaky floors are normal in older homes and just add character. But if you hear mysterious sounds in the basement, it might be time to ask about the home’s history… you know, just to be sure.

When a Home “Has Great Bones”—But They’re Actually Bones

Real estate lingo says “great bones” when a house has a solid structure—but on Halloween, it might have you wondering… are we talking about real bones? We promise our listings only have the best, metaphorical bones. Rest assured, all inspected and up to code!

For the Vampires Among Us: East vs. West-Facing Homes

If you have a hard time with morning sunlight, you’re not alone! Some people (vampires or otherwise) prefer to avoid direct sunlight in the morning. West-facing homes might be your best bet for those twilight hours, while east-facing homes cater to the sunrise lovers—or… perhaps just early-risers with a strong coffee habit.

Ghost-Free Guarantee (Just Kidding!)

While we can’t guarantee ghost-free homes (because how would you even inspect that?), we can guarantee a smooth buying and selling process. Here at Coldwell Banker Premier in Bedford, our agents are fearless in finding you the perfect, hopefully ghost-free home!
