Is there a requirement by the real estate agent to declare that information to a prospective buyer?
Would the knowledge effect the price?
Does the seller have to declare that information to the agent(s)?
UPDATE: March 13, 2018 - Globe and Mail BC Court Rules in favour of buyer who walked away from real estate deal over fatal shooting on property
A woman who failed to disclose to the buyer of her house the shooting death of her son-in-law outside the family’s Vancouver home has lost a lawsuit she filed against the purchaser, who walked away from the $6-million deal when she learned about the crime.
Has that sort of data been collected by the Real Estate industry?

| Metro Vancouver Homicides |
Downtown Vancouver looks just as deadly as East Vancouver with Point Grey being the safer of the three, but then again there is the matter of Shaughnessy and it's infamous unsolved murder at 3851 Osler of one Janet Smith in 1924.
The Vancouver Sun's Homicide Database has four and four hundred and forty more, not counting Janet Smith from 1924.

purchasing and moving into a home which has had a death is considered "bad luck" for some. On the other hand, if its a good deal, its a good deal. Smudge the house and move on.
Am aware the seller has to disclose is a house has been used as a grow op, but the rest, who knows. Given what is going on in the Lower Mainland these days it might be important to know who once lived there and what went on there. Just in case put a big sign up out front, BAD GUYS MOVED. Don't shoot.
