Get ready to be spooked and amused at the same time as we dive into the world of real estate horrors and hilarious Halloween decorations. So grab your pumpkin spice latte and get ready to creep it real estate!

According to Realtor Magazine, the Nightmare on Elm Street house is on the market for $3.25 million. Freddy Krueger is not included, and yes, they will be accepting trick-or-treating on Sunday.

A Dallas homeowner is causing problems again with his neighbors with his gory Halloween decorations. “Why? Because it looks like a crime scene. This isn’t the first time this has happened, according to homeowner Steven Novak, and it most likely won’t be the last. His home went viral last year for how horrific his decorations were, and this year is no different.”

We think it shows a lot of guts. In commenting on the display, the owner notes that:

“I’ve always been up to hijinks like flying ghosts or 7-foot tall snow sculptures of myself, so if I was gonna do Halloween, it was obvious that it should be hyperreal…No lights, fog machine, or camp…Something that would really freak people out walking by in the dark. So I whipped up some dummies and slung 20 gallons of blood all over.”

According to a recent report from Goldman Sachs, the total annual jump in home prices is expected to be 4.2% in 20231. However, these are just forecasts, and if economic indicators break the right way, home prices could actually end up going down1.

As for mortgages, the real estate market hasn’t been favorable to buyers recently. Median home prices have shot up 26% since 2020. And 30-year fixed mortgage rates have more than doubled, from an average of 3.72% in January 2020 to 8% as of Oct. 18, 20232. Worse yet for buyers, mortgage rates could keep rising for the rest of 20232
