The thing is any competent realtor should be able to do a good job filtering out some of the possibilities.
I google every property address a client is looking to buy. If it is a registered grow op it will come up in the first few results under alberta health. I would assume that any newspaper articles on a murder would include the address and this should come up as well???
I myself am going to have to revisit the rules on disclosure. Selling such a stigmatized property is one of those things I have never encountered.
As for other stigmas, if asked you must tell. I sold an estate sale and a common question was "did the seller die at the property"? Although this specific situation it was not the case, it was actually considered to be a deal breaker for many.
