Feng Shui Issues in Selling Homes
Buyer's agent called me today, thrilled about my new listing. Her clients have been waiting for a townhome in that complex to come available. She even said they will write an offer this weekend once they see the inside. Then the agent asked me: Which direction does the front door face? I said North - in fact, I use my iPhone compass application on every home I sell. Sadly for me her clients will not buy a home that faces either North or South - that's 50% of the market! Now, not every buyer has these same directional allegiances - many home buyers love homes that face South - they tend to be sunnier - or North for the same reason if the living spaces are oriented to the back of the house. I tend to not like high rise condos with West facing views - you roast in those units in the summer afternoon. East facing is difficult if you want to sleep in on lazy Sunday mornings - or you invest in black-out blinds. Find me a house that rotates please! By the way, my desk faces South East - what does that mean?

the south east is the most prosperous direction this year - so you are probably doing very well even if this is not a personally supportive area there are subdirections which can be successfully utilised.

Dearest Aussie,
Even if it may be a white lie, I really appreciate your confidence boosting post - Yes! this desk will be super prosperous:-)
You are absolutely Correct!
Each buyer has their own criteria when they select and even after 20 years they still surprise me.
Great Post!
