It’s heeeere!

A Simi Valley, CA, residence featured in the popular 1982 horror classic “Poltergeist” is the week’s most popular home on Realtor.com®.

Offered for the first time in 45 years, the four-bedroom home built in 1979 is said to come “without the ghostly antics.” The infamous kitchen from the movie remains intact but has been updated with modern appliances. Best of all, there’s absolutely no evidence of a burial ground in the backyard.

When you step into the foyer, you will “immediately feel the good energy” of the home, the listing promises. It goes on to entice investors, noting that the lot could potentially be split to “build a second home.”

Also grabbing buyers’ attention this week were an affordably priced Tudor in Connecticut, a brand new modern build in San Diego, and a recently remodeled A-frame in Arkansas.
