If the premises being marketed was the scene of some particularly noteworthy and/or infamous crime or if the home was the scene of someone's violent death due to a crime, or suicide, this CAN be noteworthy. These events could be a point of extreme distress to some buyers who would, in all probabilty, choose not to buy. In this manner the property is deemed to be a "distressed property." Unfortunately for the sellers this could have a distinct effect on the price they may be able to ask for and ultimately receive. Contracts for real estate sales have been known to have been broken over these circumstances. Check with a local Realtor or real estate attorney. Better to disclose the matter up-front than have a sales contract broken at a later time.
