What is the discount on someone died in a home? Why?

I came across many homes where death happened inside home and listing comes low, finally sold to investor/builders.

In BA, how much discount for such home?

For example: this is one. If this home is normal or move in condition it sells around 1.6M-1.7M level, but falls into this category

What is the reason and how much discounted normally ?

I hope I die in my house. My mom died in her house. Didn’t affect the value at all.

What’s the benefit to die at home? That could mean you missed the opportunity to be saved

Death due to nonnatural reasons: e.g. suicide.

I know I bid on a house in PA last year, where the house stayed on weeks- it was in crescent park. biggest mistake.

Die peacefully, during sleep is probably the best death. The downside is you don’t get to say good bye to your life long partner.

I guess this home is listes with discount not because of death but because of location.

Solution: say goodbye every night.

that’s scary.

:cry:

Die during sleep is a classical example of wasted life. You could have lived many more years if you had your medical condition checked and tried the best to treat.

We need to have a monitor invented to dial 911 automatically when a sleeping person is at risk. Maybe a smart bed or smart mattress, I don’t like to wear a monitor, just build the monitor into the mattress or bed.

You are just BSing. 1/3 of your day is sleeping.

Presumption. He got lucky, go to enjoy heaven early😀

We need to have a way to wake a person up before they die. So they can die awake.

Quality not quantity. Einstein turned down emergency surgery at 76, prefering death with dignity…The closer I get to death the less I fear it…The great thing about being old is there is no fear of dying young.At 64 I have outlived 99% of most humans throughout history…In 1940 even life expectancy was less than my age…

That’s torture.

One issue I understand that we do not know cause of death and the source of illness as medical records are strictly private. I used smell lot of medicine smells at those homes which is tough to get rid off. If it is some contagious disease…etc, we do not the impact later. This is the scary part as medical records are strictly private.

You are starting to talk like @BAGB. We need to stop this madness.

Buyer disclosed to us someone died in the house before they bought it so a few years prior, due to natural causes, they didn’t need to disclose but did anyway and had no impact on our offer or ability to move the house.

Most sleeping deaths happen at 4am. And most of the sleeping deaths happen to people who have no serious illness. I think it’s worthwhile to invent a medically effective bed or mattress to save more poeple who voluntarily choose to live than die.

I would be willing to buy one for 10k.

As i joked before: Wake the person up just before he dies, so statistics skew toward people dying while awake.
