House (and Ghost?) Hunting
by kellySo yesterday was a busy day. I gave not one, but two hour-long presentations at a work-sponsored seminar.
And after a full workday, Paul and I once again hit the house-hunting trail.
We’re getting close to making a decision, which is exciting.
But it was interesting that as we were looking around in one of the houses we saw last night (not one we are now considering buying), I had the sense that the house had a ghost.
I’m not sure why I even said “A ghost lives here” when we were in the house. It was just a kind of perception I had. And it made me less interested in the house. I felt like we would feel crowded if we lived there - and it was a relatively spacious place.
So it was funny to see this story on MSN this morning about how being told that a house has a ghost won’t necessarily turn buyers away, and may even attract them:
Ghosts may not spook home buyers
Well, that doesn’t apply to THIS buyer.
I’m looking for a place that my family can call home. Without competition for any other occupiers.
