Would You Buy A House KNOWING That Someone Died In It?

[Jerz-2]

and not every house gets sold cause the owner died...

True indeed.

I lived in a house this old guy died in. The realtor told us, she also said that the walls were discolored from his chain smoking..

We cleaned the house and it was perfect, sometimes you'd get a whiff of his smoke, I guess from the walls and one night it smelled like fire and the smoke detectors went off. Other than that and the dirty ass crawl space that led to the attic it was perfect.

Yo, did I miss something from this story?

First you was like:

We cleaned the house and it was perfect....

....but then you was like:

one night it smelled like fire and the smoke detectors went off.

.....sooooo, y'all didn't set off the smoke alarm y'allselves?

People who die of old age or terminal illness...if that were you would you want to die in some hospital with the nurses or in your own house with your own family? It happens more often than you think.

Oh, mos def.

But generally speaking, I would have to see some stats that dictated that people die more often in their own homes than they do out in the world....even though that'd prollee be a pretty crazy thing to attempt to quantify....I just can't see that being the case, though, from a logical standpoint.

imma make sure the first house I buy fits that description.

Happened to my dad, some neighbors and a few family friends. Not sure what the stats are but it happens fairly often.

fukk yea, but I'd be playing like I wouldn't....drop the price a few G's and walk away #winning

Nah.

Our house, and every house in our development, was built in the last three years. Our house was two weeks old when we rolled up in this hoe.

Not just that, but really....how many people die of natural causes at home as opposed to dying in a nursing home or the hospital? Home hospice care is expensive, not ere'body can get down like that.

Let's rationalize this, how many different ways can one die at home?:

1) Murdered, either shot, stabbed, beat to death, etc. - this

2) Fire....but really, the only way this is applicable is if the fire didn't destroy the house and they just rebuilt the burnt up part.

3) Health/Accidental - heart attack or other health-related issue, OR hell I dunno, your roof collapse on your ass or some other freak accident? Electrocute yourself?

4) Natural causes - just old age, going peacefully in your sleep. You probably owned the house for decades and if you dyin' at home and it's not unexpected, you damn sure got hospice, breh.

dont be so naive, u can have a seizure, heart attack, suicide,asthma attack, AIDS,drug overdose, etc and die at home

This cat I went high school with had a seizure at night while sleeping and died in his mama's house, so many ways to go

Do you guys realize natives were most likely killed on the land that house is built on?

 

[Sierra Mist]

Ghosts love fukking with me so no thanks.

Wouldn't those fall under "Health/Accidental"?

Sheesh.

 

[Kalik]

I would.... I think every plot of land had some blood spilled at some point, house or no house.

 

[jackswstd]

Depends on how they died. If it was a John Wayne Gacy situation HELL NO!

 

[Rusty Kuntz]

As long as they weren't murdered in that mofo, I'm good.

My grandmother lived in a turn of the century Victorian in St. Louis. That shyt was haunted as fukk; I hated going over to visit LOL

 

[AlwaysLurkin]

My grandma house 100 years old Im sure people died in there,said she saw my grandpa ghost before

 

[Cat piss martini]

it'd be hard to find a 10 feet of land in this country
where somebody aint died.

 

[re'up]

Wouldn't have a problem, probably would watch someone die in it, and still buy/live in the house. But, the first sign of trouble, any suspicious activity, and I'm gone, I say about one of my friends all the time, he'd be the a$$hole white Dad, that even when the sinks running with blood, and the daughter is talking to creatures in the basement, 'Do you know how much I have invested in this place we ARE NOT moving'...and in the end, theres a massacre, or everyone is killed but the one kid.
