PHOENIX -- An appeals court on Tuesday upheld an Arizona law that says home sellers can't be sued for failing to tell buyers that a sex offender lives nearby.

But the ruling from the Arizona Court of Appeals also said that lying about such an issue could constitute fraud.

The case stems from a lawsuit filed by a couple who didn't know an offender lived next door to a Scottsdale home they bought for nearly $3.1 million in 2008.

Hmmm... not sure about what legal issues are surrounding this but I would be irate if I purchased a home next to a sex offender. Thanks to the internet though I can check that stuff out before I even look at a home to purchase. Perhaps the Realtor could make a strong suggestion for their client to do a search based on the address of the property. I think it is in the best interest of the client and the Realtor to know.

If you know and lie when asked, that is one thing. If you don't know, that is another. It's Buyer Beware and do your own research.

Exactly - it's not something that can or should be forced onto a disclosure. However, if asked and you know then it's a misrepresentation to say otherwise.

Also, this information is all pretty available
