Do You Know What Happened In YOUR House 57 Years Ago?
-
How hard could it be to sell a property known far and wide as the "Murder House"? Especially when it really was the site of a murder? After all, it's got a great view in a trendy hipster neighborhood of L.A. and it's only $2.75 million. And it's been sitting there vacant since 1959, when the owner murdered his wife and daughter with a hammer and committed suicide by drinking acid. Hey, someone bought O.J. Simpson's house, and someone bought the Heaven's Gate house. And in the latter case, the first buyer got a bargain, half price, $668,000, and resold it in five years for $1.8 million, and THAT was a bargain, because it sold again six years after that for $4.6 million. Could you overlook a home's grisly past? (Los Angeles Times)
