Re:Zillow lost money because they weren't willing to lose money by elliekelly on Saturday November 27, 2021 @02:55PM (#29362851)
There is a famous (among first year law students) case[1] that seems relevant given the nature of the issue is one a buyer would not reasonably be able to ascertain on their own. One possible point of differentiation: ghosts are a permanent defect on the value of the property while loud children living next door would probably only torment the homeowner for a decade or so at most.

The opinion is famous not just for its unusual fact pattern but also because the Judge clearly had quite a lot of fun working in other-worldly puns and references while writing it.

Despite quoting the ruling at length multiple times in the article, there's not a single link to the actual ruling on that page, so far as I can find. Never change, Wikipedia.

This seems to be the opinion: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=329068483649083...
