I would have no problem living in that house. I wouldn't buy it bc much nicer houses in better locations are listed for close to that selling price.

Do you think it being the Amityville horror house makes the value go up or down? Because for as many people that won't buy it bc of the murders a load of people would want it for that reason.

I think it's beautiful, but I don't think I could live there. That movie gave me nightmares for like a year straight in my childhood! Chat Icon Chat Icon

But also, I wouldn't want to live in somewhat of a tourist attraction.

I think I would - if I could afford the million + price tagChat Icon

Re: Amityville Horror House is for sale ... would you buy it?!!

The house is gorgeous...hands down. But the fact that a whole family was brutally murdered there...there's no way I could live there. I just think I'd always feel this sense of sadness - knowing those poor people being shot by a family member. Chat Icon

Nope... I'm afraid of the dark in my own house so there's no way I'd live there despite how fabricated the story has become over the years.

Re: Amityville Horror House is for sale ... would you buy it?!!

HAHA, I live only a few houses down from it. There are always people parked in front of it, walking on their front lawn, taking pictures on their lawn... its SO rude, people live there, no wonder they are selling it. Since the word is out that its on the market (only as of yesterday) every time I have left my house to go out I can barely get down the block because all these people are now in front of it. It's a shame because it is such a beautiful home

ITA. Even if I didn't have an issue with the murders, I wouldn't want to live in a place that people drive by and stare at and who knows what else all the time.

If I ever wanted to never sleep again, maybe I would buy the house.

for free...sure or some great deal maybe, but based on this thread, it has little resale value and if I were spending 1+ million I would want to be in a top rated SD.

It's a beautiful house! Only reason I wouldn't want to live there is because of all the people driving past to stop and stare at the house because of it's history. Otherwise, it looks like a nice place to live



I agree - it seems like such a nuisance to live there - I've even seen videos on youtube that people put up going up to it and peeking in the windows and crap. Very annoying...

Re: Amityville Horror House is for sale ... would you buy it?!!

I also knew a previous owner and it is not haunted, but I still wouldn't be able to live somewhere where other people were murdered. The same article also talked about Joel Rifkin's house in East Meadow, where he brought his victims to kill them -- it is also on the market-- any takers for that one?

Re: Amityville Horror House is for sale ... would you buy it?!!

No. Too much history attached to it.

I am too supersticious. I could not sleep at night. I would wake up at all little sounds at night.
