As we all know, every new condo launch, the last few units left are always anything that has the number "4" in its address.
Anyone experienced problem selling off their units just because of this? Do you really need to price lower than the other sellers when u are trying to sell off ur unit during a subsale/resale?

ask fengshui master...
Divine
hahaha the thing is i personally dun believe in feng shui. but im asking in an investment point of view. Since some launches, the number 4 units are priced lower.
Maybe those block 4 unit 04-04 kind are a lot cheaper than a 02-04 for example.

Not everyone is allergic to the number 4.
Some people's lucky number is 4.

I was eyeing a 4th floor unit once. it cost $25k more than the 3rd floor unit. my friend who's in the property development line advised me to go for the 3rd floor unit as potential buyers will use the "4" to press down the selling price if I choose to sell next time. Then imagine paying $25k more for level 4 and end up selling at same price as level 3 or even lower......

If you happen to get a house with number 4 in it.....when you tell people your address, don't say it in Chinese. Say it in English.

u are right. the development I was looking at was only 5 storeys high. I didn't want to take level 5 and look after the roof-top for the entire stack below me so I was aiming for 4. then after what my friend told me, I decided to go for 3 lor.....
long long long time ago, 1 of my customers gave me a "solution" to the "4" syndrome. He said to stick the Chinese character "fa" behind the 4 in your unit number so it will read as "sei fatt" (cantonese) or "si fa" (chinese).....

I have seen people put Chinese character "ru yi" behind the house number 44, become shi shi ru yi, meaning
Everything Will Happen Just as You Wish (Shi Shi Ru Yi)

should be good time anything sells AND those with number 4 still sell but at a lower premium compared to others vis a vis other same factors besides the number
Bricks & Mortar
So far most developer don't give discount for unit ending with "4" for new launches..., maybe until last few units left if still cannot sell and if they want to clear, can negotiate.., but launch price whether stack 4 or unit ending with 4, they still sell w/o discount...
Newbie
I thought 04-04 is quite good and some quite like it as in hokkien sounds like gong xi gong xi?
And 4 +4 is 8?
Senior
I heard of people who'll just go for #03-03, #04-04, #05-05, etc. They like things that come in pair... also Chinese belief!!! Anything also can lah... black can argue until white...

Got a friend stay in bungalow in thomson area. She bought it 25 years ago.
Her left and right neighbours are No. 11 and No. 17. Hers is No.15.
Dun have No.13, which means her house actually supposed to be No.13.

Land area about 6000 sq ft.

There were only 2 of us in this house.... I felt scared cos the whole area was so quiet with lots of surrounding trees.
