Sunday I was showing properties to my buyer when they walked into the house of their dreams (pic above, house in Minneapolis) and decided to make an offer on it. Monday morning we found out that their was a murder that took place in the home in 1978.
The state of MN law requires sellers to disclose suicide or murder in a property. My buyers decided to back out this morning due to a fear that the house would be haunted!
They just could not see themselves living in a home where someone was murdered.They asked me if I could live there and I really don't know. If it was 30 years ago and it was not highly publicized, I don't think it would bother me, but then again, I was not considering buying it! If it was your dream home would you still buy it? Let me know!

I had a client last summer in a similar situation. It was a highly publicized murder of a family with young children and the buyers did opt to move on and buy another home. The home did sell eventually as it was priced very well and in a good neighborhood.
