There is a listing in my area that honestly has been sold every 1-2 years since 2003. Its not currently on the market as it had been under contract but then went back on the market and now is "temporarily delisted." Its a cool old house with lots of charm and the pics look good-- I have driven by it many times but not toured. The history does show a significant price increase between 2003-2004 so I am betting it was a flip and that is when it was last updated. But otherwise its just a two year stint and sold, another 2 years and sold, a year and sold usually at a flat profit or small loss.

What would make a house turn over so many times in such a short period in your experience? I am halfway wondering if it is haunted!

I am seriously thinking it may be! I just can't imagine what could be wrong with it. Its in a small town where there's not a ton of transience and it has some neat architectural features. I would consider it myself if it weren't too far from my area that I was looking in. It just seems like people get in and out in a hurry.

I would guess there is something annoying about living in that house that isn't apparent until you are living in it. You never know what odd annoyances are going to come with house.

Haunted is the first thing I thought, too.

Well, maybe not haunted, but you never really know how comfortable a house is going to be until you're actually in it. Something about the house is just "wrong".

What Pooks said. I bet there's a terrible neighbor, or a smell that wafts thru like from a restaurant or plumbing issue downwind etc.

Perhaps that neighborhood caters to transient professionals. Many companies will buy your house if you can't sell it in X amount of time.

Could just be a coincidence.

Haunted or the neighbors are a nightmare.
