When [renting or buying a new home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/property-purchase), it is important to make sure that you know everything about the property in question. This new app helps homeowners find out if their home has a morbid past. According to its website, Died In House is a "[web-based service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-estate-app1) that helps you find out if anyone has died at any valid US address." To use the service, users must pay an initial fee and register the address they wish to search. Died In House will then search through over 118 million records in order to find out if a death has occurred at a given residence. Not only will the site reveal if a death has occurred, but it will also list who the deceased was, when they died and what the cause of death was. The app can even be used to find other sinister details on a property such as [fire reports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-bad-ugly-homes) or incidence of drug-related activities. Although it may seem morbid, the app is an excellent tool for homeowners who are interested in knowing more about their place of residence. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Death-detecting Apps:** Opportunity for app developers to create similar death-detecting apps for other countries and regions. - **Property History Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to develop services that provide comprehensive histories of properties, including past deaths and other important information. - **Data-driven Real Estate:** Potential for real estate companies to use data analytics to provide insights and information about properties, including past deaths and other historical data. ### Who This Affects Most - **App Development:** This trend presents an opportunity for app developers to create death-detecting apps and other related services. - **Real Estate:** Real estate industry can benefit by integrating death-detecting apps and property history services to provide transparency and information to buyers and renters. - **Data Analytics:** Data analytics companies can offer services to collect and analyze property-related data, providing valuable insights to homebuyers and homeowners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Post-Mortem Wireless Detectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/in-memoriam.md) - [Informational Real Estate Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-oyssey-app.md) - [Eerie Film-Inspired Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterlife-generator.md) - [Failed Digital Product Databases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dead-product-marketplace.md) - [Residential Property Fraud Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residential-property-fraud.md) - [Proactive Tracker Detection Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/detection-app.md) - [Paranormal Mapping Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-town1.md) - [Art Market Authentication Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-authentication-app.md) - [Supportive Property Purchase Applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/property-purchase.md)
