    Hi,

    This is likely not to be important but as I am Asian I don’t invest in properties with the number “4”.

    I also find that where there is a high Asian presence, houses with the number 4 always sell below less than its neighbours. This is likely not to be important but I thought to share it for those who may wishing to invest where a high number of Asians live.

    Take care.

    Hello Angle,

    In Sydney there are many areas that have a  high Asian population and also a good investment, Eastwood, Marsfield, Carlingford, Ashfield, Ryde and I am sure there are many other areas that may be great for investment.   You will need to research this more before investing.

    I hope this is helpful

    warm regards

    So Angel, number 4 addresses can be a pretty good find.
    Thanks for the tip, and your thoughtfulness :)
    Cheers

    Guess you are still investing (or not investing) based on numbers

    I don’t think Angel was getting at that. She just mentioned that houses with the number “4” in the address within those areas may sell for less.

    Cheers

    Thanks Jamie,

    You got the point.

    I don’t buy houses with number “4”, full stop. It’s too ingrained in my psyche. :)

    I know, I know, it has no logical sense…. blaming my ancestors for it.

    Bless you guys

    Angel, we’ve also noticed that Asians do not like bathrooms in the middle of a floorplan of any property, and after reading more into Feng Shui, I totally understand why :)

    This is a good point, however not all Asians would pay attention to numbers. I gladly bought a house with a number of '44' as it was my opinion that research regarding the area, potential growth, rental figures and likely demand were very positive for the property. Furthermore this same house has a central kitchen, which is probably considered a plus for most locals but is actually bad Feng Shui, from the little that I know.

    In the mind of some Asians there are other 'inauspicious' numbers such as '24', '124', '64', '164' or '58' and '48'. However, '13' is good, and so is '84', '128', '168'. Of course, you have the well known doubles and triples of '8' and '9' which some Asians love.

    On that note, I'm not the superstitious sort and don't believe in all this stuff.

    Hi fword,

    I typed a response but it seems to have attached somewhere else….

    Here it is again….

    fWord, even if you don’t believe, it is important to take note if you’re buying in a suburb with high Asian population due to the fact that when it is time to sell your target market would be Asians. It is impossible to sell to them if they’re not even coming to see it in the first place. I agree though that if you’re buying in an Anglo suburb, it doesn’t matter.

    I am looking t a property with an address that’s 888. Land size is 999. This is perfect feng shui in Chinese numerology. If, and that’s the operative word, I acquire this property I will report back. The intention is not to do anything on the property. Leave it for two years and sell. I will advertise it in the China Daily and see what happens.

    God bless.

    Angelina
