Unless it's a murder or one of those scenarios where they have to disclose this, I'm curious why it's sometimes stated clearly in house ads? All it can serve to do is scare off the superstitious (assuming the death was in the house). Sure superstitious buyers probably comprise only a relatively small part of the market depending on where you're selling but why take the risk.
I assume it's because deceased estate = no reserve? And no reserve is a huge selling point? If that's the case why not advertise "no reserve" to begin with?
Is there something else I'm missing? I'm just curious about what anyone has to gain by telling prospective buyers this. As a seller id be trying to do anything to maximize my chances.
