Haunted House Vibes? Maybe… Plus Decor Tips & Fall Shopping Finds

by Hilary Betley

It’s spooky season, and while most of the ghosts are inflatable and glowing on porches—some home tours do raise an eyebrow or two. 👀 Whether you're actively house-hunting or just in seasonal shopping mode, here’s what to keep an eye on (and where to score fresh boots while you’re at it).


👻 Spooky Things to Watch for on a Home Tour (Red Flags Edition):
🕸️ Mysterious smells – not just haunted… maybe plumbing issues
🚪 Doors that won’t stay shut (or open) – ghost or foundation problem?
🌫️ Foggy windows – could mean seal failure = $$ later
🔇 Overuse of background music or candles – what are they hiding?
🪵 Sloped floors – not always spooky… but definitely structural

Not saying your dream home is cursed—but let’s keep it real AND festive. 🧙‍♀️


🕯️ Decor That’s Spooky and Sells
Planning to list this fall but still want to decorate? Here’s the sweet spot:
✔️ Neutral pumpkins – think white, gold, sage
✔️ Seasonal door wreath – skip the skeletons
✔️ Warm lighting – Edison bulbs > flickering strobes
✔️ Subtle nods – a plaid throw, a moody candle, a ceramic ghost

Save the gore for the party. Keep it classy for the buyer walkthrough. 🏡✨
