| Summary: | Psychologically impacted houses may be a new context in Malaysia but the term psychological
impacted or defects have been distinguished in the United States and Australia. With the increases of
wrongdoing these days, there is a possibility that the crime will result in death in a house. This paper
focused on the issues of psychologically impacted houses with respect to the discernment of the
society towards these houses and the problems in marketing these tainted properties. A study is
carried out to acquire the data on the level of superstitious convictions that are still practiced by the
Malaysian society. The relationship between superstition and psychologically impacted houses are
being discussed as the perception of the society towards the stigmatized houses is clouded by their
superstitious beliefs. The issues in regards to the marketability of psychologically impacted houses
are highlighted through the findings obtained from interviews with estate agents and negotiators. Thus,
the main aim of this paper is to ascertain the dilemma faced by estate agents and negotiators when
marketing houses with psychological defects. Recommendations are made to help the estate agents
and negotiators to see things clear with respect to the disclosure of information of the houses. |
