You would have to investigate more about the news report. I remember this story. I talked with some neighbors familiar with the story. As usual the information the news reported was totally unfounded and purely laughed at by the owners in the neighborhood. No one interviewed the supposedly other members of the neighborhood about their situations.

agreed with others - why take the chance - at the very least it could affect resale value if it stays in the news.

Why take the chance? Even a free house wouldn't be worth your life.

Contributing factors and causes of cancer are well known. Radioactivity is the most likely cause. Any potential buyer should have an inspector that has a Geiger counter who knows how to use it.
But the developer should already be looking into what is causing the problem. It could be bad drywall (which may be able to be replaced at the manufacturer's or distributor's cost), or it may be radioactive granite counter tops (which should all be ripped out and replaced with either a non-radioactive granite, or Dupont Corian for those that don't like granite sealed with plastic and solvents, or it could be Radon in the soil that requires proper ventilation mitigation.
Or it even could be in the water or a mining operation (possibly uranium) some distance a way.
Until the "source" of the problem is determined, the stigmatism cannot be addressed.

Hendersonville,TN subdivision reports cancer. Would you purchase a home here?
Residence have come forward about a high number of cancer in the subdivision. It was big enough for Newschannel 2 to report and residence to come forward. Would you purchase a home here knowing this has just been reported? What will this negative attachment do to the subdivision?
