It's carpet, the sellers (lawyers) are deducting an additional 8-10k to replace the carpets and paint. The house is actually pretty clean, it really doesn't even need new carpet besides the creepy factor. I figure maybe we'll own it for a year or two and turn around and sell it.
Well, we're gonna submit our offer and see what happens, maybe I'll have an i-club halloween party. :/
All in all we'll already have about a hundred grand in equity by the time it closes. I just don't know if it's gonna be hard to sell in a year or two.
Does anyone know the details of the disclosure law and if there is a statute of limitations?
Maybe I'm overreacting, I guess this type of thing (murder/suicide) happens more often than you'd think. Imagine some of the **** that's gone down in other houses without you knowing. I guess it's just bugging me because I know almost exactly what happened.
Thanks, SRiC.

If no one had told us we'd have never known.

what about the stories you used to tell me about having ghosts in your bedroom touch you in the naughty places at night ?

The weird thing is that the murder happened in 03-04 so it's almost already been three years. But the chick made the 1,000,000 dollar bail and was just recently convicted and was living in the house up until a few months agos so there's still some of thier furniture in there.
The house is about 1600 feet, two car garage, built in 94 and has a huge backyard around 100ft. x 50 ft. we'll be paying a little more than 400k and selling our 1100 ft. townhouse with no backyard and no garage for 400-415k. SO I guess it's a pretty good deal.
Thanks for the pics Paul.

Plus there are tax benefits and such. Talk to an accountant, but definitely look into it.
