I honestly can't remember when i read this book but i do know it wasn't new at the time. I can't remember much but there's a handyman that moves into a home that needs a lot of work and he intends to sell the house when hes done. There's a ghost involved in this story and towards the end he sees the house as it was in the past through this ghost and i remember he saw a party in the ballroom with people dancing. I realize this isn't much to go on but worth a shot.

This sounds just like something Nora Roberts would write...There are a couple of her novels that could fit but maybe Midnight Bayou?
Declan Fitzgerald had always been the family maverick, but even he couldn't understand his impulse to buy a dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of New Orleans. All he knew was that ever since he first saw Manet Hall, he'd been enchanted-and obsessed-with it. So when the opportunity to buy the house comes up, Declan jumps at the chance to live out a dream.
Determined to restore Manet Hall to its former splendor, Declan begins the daunting renovation room by room, relying on his own labor and skills. But the days spent in total isolation in the empty house take a toll. He is seeing visions of days from a century past, and experiencing sensations of terror and nearly unbearable grief-sensations not his own, but those of a stranger. Local legend has it that the house is haunted, and with every passing day Declan's belief in the ghostly presence grows.

Cover?
Even if you can't remember when you read it, a range of years helps. E.g. between 1970-1987. Between 2000-2016.
