Would You Buy a House Where there was a Murder?
I would….in a heartbeat…if the house is beautiful. And in this case it is.
21 Howard Place in Park Slope was recently sold (asking price 1.29 million). Four months ago it was the crime scene where 31 year old Ryan Devaney stabbed his mother and father. Devaney then ran into the subway and jumped on the tracks and was struck by the G train.
The place has been cleaned up and it’s beautiful inside and out.
People joke that perspective buyers deserve a discount since a murder happened here. But it’s actually someone’s lucky home because if circumstances didn’t happen the way they did, they won’t be able to own this beautiful place.

No i would never step into a house where there is a murder committed let alone buy such a house. It is creepy to think someone was murdered right where I am standing eating my dinner. Nope not happening!

Absolutely not, particularly this dumpy looking house for over $1 million. Who wants to constantly think of the horrors that took place there. Maybe it’s good for a funeral director but not the average person.

I wouldn’t mind about the murder at all, maybe use it to my advantage when negotiating. People have died all over the place, everywhere you walk, sleep, eat or work, people will have died there.
So it’s no issue to me.
