For buyers in search of properties with a spectral element, we’ve found five fascinating Old West properties that have a history of haunting—or are at least historically spirited.

Some are creepy, most are cute, but all are sure to spark your supernatural interest. And most of the prices aren’t even remotely scary. Take a look, if you dare.

The hit HGTV show “Married to Real Estate” is back for Season 2, starring real estate broker/designer Egypt Sherrod and her builder husband, Mike Jackson. And they’re armed with major bragging rights after winning last season’s “Rock the Block.”

This season’s premiere of “Married to Real Estate” shows them laser-focused on what truly matters to today’s homeowners: renovations that boost a property’s value through the roof.

In the episode “Open to Entertaining,” they meet Mark and Rebecca, who are looking for a home in the Dunwoody suburb of Atlanta. They have an all-in budget of $700,000 and end up paying $579,000 for a 2,350-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath house Sherrod shows them. Jackson says he can renovate it into their dream home for an extra $110,000.

As the house undergoes a remarkable transformation, Sherrod and Jackson show how they’ve grown since last season with some incredibly smart moves that make a home more valuable as well as more functional and chic. Check out what we learned this week.

Real estate prices aren’t often slashed by 50%. And $14 million price cuts are particularly uncommon. But Howard Sosin—co-founder of AIG Financial Products and a former Columbia Business School associate professor—probably knows his math.

The 10-bedroom megamansion was originally listed for $28.5 million in 2018, so the $14,995,000 price drop should make deep-pocketed buyers sit up and take notice.

Still, Sosin snapped up the nearly 18,000-square-foot palace in 1990 for just $5 million, so he’ll probably do just fine—even if he sells it at a drastically reduced price.

The home is truly spectacular, with its water views, six levels, heated outdoor pool, marble-lined indoor pool, and guesthouse.
