ABC News - Pa. Homeowner Sues Seller Over Home's Bloody Past (ABC News)

A Pennsylvania woman has appealed to the state Supreme Court in her suit against a home seller and real estate agent who failed to disclose that a murder-suicide had taken place in the home she purchased.

When Janet Milliken, 59, moved from California after her husband died, she had hoped to start a new life with her two teenage children in Pennsylvania near her family.

She bought a home in Thornton, Pa., for $610,000 in June 2007. She learned a few weeks after she moved in from a next-door neighbor that a murder-suicide had occurred the year before in her home.

She sued the seller and the real estate agent for fraud and misrepresentation, saying

Let’s have another look at our monthly sales histogram.

The sales distribution curve flattened out a bit between November and December, with low-priced homes inching up and many of the high-price buckets dropping a bit. In November the mode (i.e. the bucket with the most sales) for non-distressed sales was at $350,000 to $400,000, with 19 more sales in that range than any other. The non-distressed mode didn’t change in December, but the next two buckets down ($250,000 to $300,000 and $300,000 to $350,000) both came within 4 sales of the $350,000 to $400,000 range.

I expect we’ll see the curve sharpen back up and probably shift more toward the expensive ranges over the next few months.
