Hey! Dead is dead. They cant walk, fly, crall, moan, and /or groan. It is the living that one needs to worry about. The dead body just become chemicals and compounds. When the soul leaves that's it!

It wouldn't be my first choice in a new home. But, on the up side, you could invite Ghostbusters over for a new sequel!

from an earlier post

"When questioned as to whether a prospective buyer, seller, or tenant has AIDS, agents should state that they are prohibited by law from answering such query"

Copperhead, even if asked about the aids issue, a Realtor cannot comment. I did see your response and the first part is correct. The laws may have changed, but I doubt it. If it is written anywhere, please post the link as I would like to read it.

I just think that a house is a big investment, why spend that kind of money if I am going to "see" someone dead in my living room everytime i walk in there? Don't think I can do it.

Dixie Cup, look 3 posts above yours.

Why would someone be sad unless it was a friend or family member. I know lots of people live on the negative side of life but a new house for me and my family would be a good thing.

We are in the land of the living folks! Clean up the blood stains, put on a new coat of paint and invite your friends over for a housewarming party!

Don't think it would affect you. Different people handle sadness in different ways.

OH FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!! GET OVER IT!!!!

Does this mean you wouldn't be admitted to the hospital, people have died in there too ya know! I guess everyone is afraid of the BOOGEYMAN!

I agree the best thing to do is ask someone in the neighborhood. If someone lived a peaceful life & died peacefully, I wouldn't have a problem living there. However, if it was a violent death or a violent suicide. NO RUN, DON'T BUY THE HOUSE!!!! I wouldn't care how much they lowered the price....the thought of someone shooting themselves in my family room & laying there for 3 days ....NO!!!

Dont it just make you wonder sometime about how

you know so little about a place before u go into it

I worry sometime about getting a place tha has strange things goin on

hey there my grandaughter and her aunt moved in a house where a mandied in it,after six months her aunt died she suddenly got cancer,then eight monts later my grabdaughter died of hypetitous c. i dont belive i would live because i stayed there one night and strange things happened do not buy that hous i had my preacher come to cleanse it and said that he had strange vives and evil around there.

If someone died in a house on the market and the potential buyers ask, if the Realtor knows for a fact, they must answer truthfully. If they are not asked, they will not disclose as this is not a material fact. However, if a Realtor is asked if the sellers or anyone with aids has lived in the house, the Realtor must say "I am prohibited by law to answer that query", even if they know. Privacy issues and a touchy subject.

The Realtor didn't tell us. Turns out that a friend of ours is a neighbor, and we stopped to ask a few questions about the house, and it came up.

great idea decsurvey!!!

The agent is not required to disclose the death unless he/she is asked if the owner died in the house or how did the owner die (if it was in the house). If the agent is asked, then he/she must answer truthfully.

Someone mentioned AIDS earlier, it's treated the same way. No disclosure necessary unless asked.

Have them drop the price by however much a exorcism costs or what ever the preacher charges to come help any remaining spirits exercise on out the door.

I had a family member commit suicide last year & NO, I could not live in his house (which is currently for sale)

Word of advice make sure you have a inspector to come and look the house over and see if it is up to par.

I understand, that would be a little weird. Just follow your gut.
