While we can exclude your spouse, realtors rank right up with puffy shirt used car sales guys. Same MO, different product. I don’t believe any realtor worth their salt would have disclosed it if they weren’t required to by law. If they had issues with it, they wouldn’t have shown the house to begin with. This brings up an interesting subject - disclosure of stuff like this varies from state to state. It’s called “stigmatized property”. California is the only state that I know of that expressly requires disclosure of deaths or violent acts.
