Depends on how horrible I find the past events. An old person happened to die in their bed at home? No problem. What you posted above? Probably not so much.

I have no problem sleeping in the bed my mother passed away in while she lived in my home. My husband and his sister are hesitant to sleep in the bed their father passed away in while in their mother’s home. I think that’s just a grief dealing with them.
My neighbor down the street shot his wife dead & wrapped her body in plastic, went out of the country for a short time, then came back & shot himself in the same house.
I would not have wanted to buy that house. It eventually sold several years later & I assume the owners are aware of the history. I haven’t met them.

Natural deaths, I am fine with. Horrible things like murder etc. no. Plus I don't want to live somewhere where there would be looky-loos driving by on a consistent basis.

I think it would depend on several factors - price, location, scarcity of housing, etc. I wouldn’t go out of my way to look for a house with a history, but I wouldn’t rule it out if that were the only negative feature.

This house will probably go for less than market value, unless somebody wants to purchase for PR purposes. I would buy it and paint it bright happy colors, put up pretty curtains and bring the sunshine in and dispell any lingering bad feelings about the place. I would endeavor to make it look totally different.

I think I could. I listen to a ton of true crime podcasts and have heard some horrible stuff and I still think I could. A neighbor of ours was murdered when I was in college. She was elderly and a young man broke into her house and killed her and robbed her. I was surprised when a young family bought the house a year later but thinking about it now I could imagine doing the same if it was the right house for the right price.

I just dont know if I could. There was a double murder with the bodies buried in back yard near me. The neighborhood got together and bought the house and tore it down.

Not like this. This is an auction, so the home is completely as-is. Meaning, there would likely be evidence of urine and feces in rooms, filthy walls, locks on cabinets, etc--evidence of trauma and abuse everywhere. I would never be able to unsee or unsmell it no matter how much we changed it.
Now, if/when it's flipped and back on the market in a few months and practically a brand new house? I think I could if it was a good deal.

Depends on what it is and whether it can be torn down and rebuilt. Home that someone was murdered in? No. Self defense where criminal dies, maybe if I can tear down and rebuild. Natural death, maybe a bit hesitant depending how bitter that person was in life (too many haunting shows impacting my decision). House owned by satanic worshipers, nope! The house where those kids were kept? Even though no one died, I’d have to walk through it to see what vibe I got from it before making that decision.

Yeah, the house that was near me was a Satanic worshipper's house. Hell to the no would I have bought this house. The guy ended up killing himself in prison. house

My friend bought a bad vibe house. He did the smudge, salt, cleaned, painted replaced flooring, replaced the attic insulation, redid the kitchen, salted the foundation, did blessing ritual , replaced the yard even had a priest friend come bless the house. They sold it 2 years later. He said the house has been sold 3xs since.

Did he do all that because he felt the evil there? Sometimes I wonder whether it's the house or the land the house sits on.

Depends on how cheap I could get it for. Seriously though, there is nothing that could happen in a house that would freak me out from living there.

Probably not. Ok, mostly likely not ever. I have a very creative imagination and I know I would scare myself way too often.

I just learned the house next door to us had two suicides in it. Both used a gun. Years apart. I don't know if this is something the current owners know.

Something like that, nope.
There is a house in our town where a whole family died of carbon monoxide poisoning. They found the family dead throughout the house in different spots. I think the house has since sold. While it was an accident, not a creepy thing, I would be too sad living there thinking of the family. Dh said he didn't think he'd be too bothered by it if the price was right.

The guy ended up killing himself in prison. house Yeah...NO to this one, or the one in the OP. I could not comfortably live there knowing what happened. Natural death wouldn't bother me TOO much, I don't THINK. I guess it would just depend on how I felt when in the house after finding out the history.

It would depend on what had happened in the house. The filth described in this house with the kids, no. I think the cockroaches and other critters that are drawn to filth will try to return. And a fresh coat of paint won’t remove the urine and mouse droppings that might be in the wall insulation and frame wood, so a dirty house is out for me personally. At least whoever buys that house will know the neighbors don’t pay much attention to each other.
If there was previous drug deals from the house, that is another huge no. Years later, someone might come thinking it was still a supply house.
If a family member died from natural causes, I’m okay with that, if I don’t feel any bad vibes while walking through it. I have lots of antiques, and before I buy something, I have to touch it. I once fell for a beautiful handmade wooden table, but when I ran my hands over it, I got a creepy feeling. I have learned to just back away if something gives me a creepy vibe, no matter how much I might like the looks of it. Stupid? Probably. But I don’t want things in my home that make me feel anything other than happy.
So other than those things above, it would be on a case-by-case basis.

We bought a house nothing had ever happened in (we're the 2nd owners) and I still picture where they had all their furniture, so yeah thinking "and that's where the dead body was" every time I walked into a room would probably bother me...

Many states do not require disclosures regarding deaths in a real estate transaction. California only requires disclosure for three years.
Five years ago, a man on my parents' street held his wife and children hostage for three days until he shot her and killed himself in front of the children. The poor kids were 17, 9 and 7ish at the time.
The house was sold last year to an adorable young family.

No There’s a house here where6 people including small children died in a fire. It was rebuilt and rented. The hair stand up on my neck every time I drive past it.
When we were looking for a house I walked out of one in 3 seconds because I felt a wave of terror sweep over me the moment I walked in. Realtor thought I was nuts. I literally turned around and walked out.
Couldn’t have been just me because it took 6 years to sell in a desirable neighborhood yet I couldn’t find any incident that happened there.
ETA Just a person just dying isn’t an issue. The house I grew up in the former owners husband had died in his sleep at 94. That house had great vibes. Lots of love.

I've watched too many hoarders episodes to buy a house that I would think would be filthy.
I think I could buy it if there were are least one other owner in between me and the event.

I live in the house my grandma died in. She was 82 yrs old and her passing was extremely quick. Felt healthy and good one minute, went to lay down, passed within minutes. The red house near the playground? A young woman was slaughtered there. Horrific. That house hasn't had a buyer since. It goes on and off the market, but the neighbors tell potential buyers what happened and no one buys it.

He could not find anything about the house, or land. He said the house is just bad.

If I got the house for a good enough price, I would buy it. A number of years ago my mum was renting a house that her friend's brother owned. She had told me that the house had been renovated after a fire. A little while later a friend of mine told me that a woman had been murdered in the house and the house set on fire - nothing to do with mum's friend's brother, I think he bought the house after that. For some stupid reason I told mum, and she was pretty annoyed that they hadn't told her (maybe they didn't know?). Anyway, I should never have told mum because just after that she woke in the middle of the night thinking that she could smell smoke, so she called the fire brigade. It was nothing. And it happened again a second time. She ended up moving out, and I think she was annoyed that I'd told her.

A neighbour in the street we used to live in was murdered in his hallway. The house sold fairly quickly to a young family who were local to our small town and would have known the history. The victim’s mother came round with flowers to lay on their doorstep on the anniversary of his death for a few years. I don’t know if she continued doing this as we moved, but I would have felt uncomfortable with someone doing that to what was now my family home. Natural death I wouldn’t have a problem with; possibly a violent death I would but I think more because of the risk of it getting attention from nosey folk or being turned into a shrine each anniversary.

No. I just couldn’t do it. The negative energy would be to much. It’s one thing about natural deaths. But even then, what if they weren’t ready to go? Then you are stuck with an unwelcome house guest who refuses to leave.
