The real estate market has never been hotter. Houses sell as soon as they’re listed. Bidding wars lead to all cash deals far above the asking price. But there is one kind of property that often sits on the market for years, no matter how much of a bargain it seems to be. Potential buyers come and go, the price keeps going down, and still the house stands empty.
In real estate jargon, it’s called a “stigmatized property” because the home comes with a history. An unfortunate one – a horrible death occurred here. But what few people know is exactly what happened.... or why.
Each week, Murder Homes tells the story of a single property. Who lived there? What secrets did they keep, and what did they leave behind? Part history, part murder mystery, this podcast mixes expert interviews, witness accounts, and court records to pull back the curtain on the hidden stories each property has to tell.
Would you be able to live somewhere that seems perfect, if it weren’t for the ghosts of its past?

Too Many Ads
This podcast has an interesting subject, but the amount of baked-in ad breaks makes it pretty much unlistenable. This is a half-hour podcast that has a 5 minute ad break every 10 minutes.
All the ads made me go away
Way too many ads.
WAY too many ads
Great premise for a show but the amount of ads makes it too annoying to watch. Shame!
