[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally ruled out homes for this. I can't control what I ont know, but I can control exposing myself to known risks. And since many people perpetrate a number of times before getting caught I wouldn't assume it was only once years ago.[/quote]

I agree.  That's why I wouldn't move to a house with a sex offender next door.  But a mile away, 2 miles.  I think you have to expect that in a dense area, you're not going to find a house that doesn't have some sex offenders in the vicinity.  but I do think it makes a difference if there is one next door, or 2 doors down.
 
That said, i looked at a house and realized there was a sex offender directly next door.  We didn't buy the house for a number of reasons, but that house sat for 2 years, and then they decided to rent it out.  (my realtor kept tabs, because we were curious.)

Now, I wouldn't say it didn't sell because of the sex offender next door, but I'm sure that didn't help.

I do think that there is some insurance in buying close enough to a small park, preschool or elementary school that a sex offender couldn't move within that radius.

I wonder if this is a certain house in my neighborhood.  If it is, it is under contract now.  I'm guessing because the sex offender has moved. [/quote]
