Why doesn't anybody want to buy my house?

Princess Alice

I just don't get it. I mean, what's not to like about this place?

It's got plenty of asbestos insulation, so you don't have to worry about your heating bills in the winter, and all the walls are done in beautiful Dutch Boy Lead Paint--even the nursery!

I mean, sure, the basement floods sometimes, and I never did figure out how to use these outlets with only two prongs, but I've been assured by the real estate agent that all the bodies that were buried here back when this neighborhood was a cemetery were probably moved before the house was built!

There's your problem.

Tell them to knock that shit off so you can corner the untapped Necromancer market.

My sister was able to buy a house for $600 because a girl was raped and killed in the living room, and no Realtor was able to sell it to anyone.

Except her because she didn't even know that happened.

Obā-san

Nice.

It's called "negative associations", squid. Don't you think most people would get uncomfortable in that room with that knowledge?

Oh, neat, somebody actually picked up on that reference!

Justice4243

...I honestly didn't think it was obscure enough to warrant calling out. :P

They're overqualified.

"Why are you selling this house for $600...is that a woman being raped in killed in the living room?"

"Yeaaaaah...that sort of happens every Tuesday..."

Princess Alice

...I honestly didn't think it was obscure enough to warrant calling out. :P

Touche.

I always wondered what happened to the rest of the neighborhood after that. I know I wouldn't want to live there anymore after that whole ordeal came to light.

"What the FUCK happened?!"

"Oh, their house was built over a former grave site and all the corpses where still there."

"Oh...was this "grave site" only large enough for a single house to occupy?"

"..."

The thing that might freak me out about it is whether or not the neighborhood was crime-heavy in general. But if it's safe to live in, $600 is a hell of a deal for a house. And think about how freaky it would be to have Halloween parties there.

Ace Rimmer

$600 is what?

£20? :p

Nearly £378.73 at the current exchange rate.

Oh I'm sorry, I mean rule Britannia, tally ho, God save our gracious beef and gravy, what.  I'm sure you're very witty old bean.

..."tally ho" made me think of "Rally-ho!", the Impossibles' catchphrase.

Tachyon

I was going more for a general give 'em what for type thing.

But that's not right anyway, it's more like, LAND OF GRIME AND DUBSTEP, MOTHER OF THE BBC!  HOW SHALL WE EXTOL THEE?  BY SLAGGING OFF THE COLONIES!

I'd love a $600 house, even if somebody was killed in it

In fact, I'd probably get too excited, thus leading to a raise in price :<

Our music is better because we have more black people.
