If Someone Was Murdered in the Home I Buy Does the Realtor Have to Disclose That Information?

Question by Ginger: If someone was murdered in the home I buy does the Realtor have to disclose that information?
And can I get a discount?

Best answer:

Answer by AnnaBelle
I would consider the fact of a murder in the home to be “material,” and therefore need to be disclosed. However the materiality of that *could* be argued, and the realtor could tell a judge that he didn’t know it was material, and give multiple examples of where the fact did not change the price of the house, etc. But it would be in the best interest of the realtor to disclose it.

The murder discount probably already is in the price of the house.
