Would you move into a murder house?
 

About 3-4 blocks from my house, a murder occurred around 2 years ago. According to investigators, a man stabbed his wife and his oldest son to death, left his youngest son to live, and then killed himself. Just makes me sick thinking about it to this day. The poor young boy will be messed up for life.

Anyway, the house went on the market very cheap. 5 bedroom 2 story house with an in ground pool. Went for about 40-45% of it's previous worth.


I asked my wife if she would live there, she said not a chance. Myself, I think I could had it not been a woman and especially a child that was murdered, but for those reasons I could not. If it was some guy that shot another guy I could. But this guy stabbed repeatedly his own family members, just sickening!


Anyway, what about you all, would you do it if it were say.....$5.00?

Not sure.

But along those lines, remember the story about the plane going down with the sports team? They ended up eating human flesh to stay alive. I asked my friend if he could do it. He said, "I wouldn't miss a meal!"

shag / berber,

Yes, and did.

The house we bought 5 1/2 years ago and still live in had a horrific crime in it. The original owner was murdered in the master bedroom by one of three teenagers who had broken into the house and were robbing it when he came home.

We bought it from the second owner. They said that the carpet had been replaced in the bedroom, walls painted, etc after the crime but after awhile one day the wife decided to reverse the venetian blinds on one of the bedroom windows and when she did it revealed a lot of blood splatter that had not been cleaned off.

I googled and found some information about the crime including that the teenage murderer is in jail, thank heavens!

BTW - We only found out about the murder after we had made the offer on the house and were there for the inspection. The owners had no legal obligation to tell us since it happened under the previous owner to them but the wife told us. When we left I looked at my wife and said "and that is why you don't leave your wife at home to meet with the prospective buyer!" (her husband was out of town).

No.

I would have no problems.........

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

I might think about it, but most of it would depend on when the murder had taken place. For $5.00, I would probably do it, and if necessary would draft family and friends to help me get the place ready for occupation.

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

I'd have no issues with it at all. I'd use the fact that it was a murder house to try and get it as cheap as possible though.

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

I'd have no problem with buying and moving into that house, but I am not sure that I would purposely push hard to profit from such a tragedy.

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

I would not want to buy it, but I don't have a good reason why.

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

My family and friends would likely tell me what I could do with my house if I tried to draft them into that....

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

No.

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

No.

Let me get this straight... You would prefer the family selling it off to you at a premium, rather than full disclosure and a 50% price reduction.

Lol! You need your head screwed on right - or just plan to rent forever.

NO! And here's why. Some Dallas area folks might remember the Darlie Routier case 15 years ago, where she was convicted of murdering one of her two young sons...

If that doesn't send chills up one's back, I don't know what would. I drove by the house a few years after it happened, and got a very sickly feeling knowing what happened there...

So, again, NO! I would not move into a house where a murder had previously taken place, ever...

It really depends on how long ago it took place. For instance the owners of the Lizzie Bordon house have made a pretty profitable bed and breakfast out of it.

Live in or purchase? cuz for $5.00 I could get a really nice rental property.

You don't think it would be a fascinating topic of conversation? :)

Speaking of Amityville, I saw an article a few months ago where that house was on the market for roughly a million or so.

Even if it was $100k, no, thank you!

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

Even though the murders there were real, it has long since turned out that the stories of it being haunted (which the movie was based on) were a complete and total fabrication.

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

I wouldn't care at all. However, if it were like the house on American Horror Story then I would have to re-think it....

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

Ya, can you imagine getting up at 2 or 3 in the morning and running into this in your hallway? Sure, it may be kinda cool the first time or two but I'm pretty sure the novelty would wear out fast.

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

Yes! Why not? I'm not a superstitious freak! A rapist or murderer could have tried on the clothing you're wearing now! How's that relevant the the warmth and shelter your clothing or house would provide?


I would move into the house, dim the lights, light some candles, and call on the spirits......... hummina.....hummina...hummina..... beetlejuice...beetlejuice.....beetlejuice

Dude, seriously! Poltergeist creeped me out when I was a kid...

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

Ya, I remember that old dead tree outside the kids window.

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
 

The oompa loompa psychic lady was also creepy.
