Some people is superstitious for the number 4.
If buy #04-44, better still or #14-44, but not sure if have #44-44.
i'm Buaya ! Girls BEWARE !!...
last time i got 1 office space renting out, 1 angmoh came viewing the place and told me his important requirement is unit number must not have a '4' in any of the digits, and he is happy mine does not have....
Newbie
I am deciding between 12 or 14th floor.
14th seems unlucky
Someone told me 14 = guarantee die

1411 or 1211.....
Junior
I think of it as "One generation" literal translation, but in chinese, 一世, means a century or perpetuity..
My carplate is 8814... "huat huat forever" .. or you want ..can say it is "huat huat sure die".
Anyway, my unit number is #14, the two floors above me are all bought by CHINA chinese also sharing the unit number #14.
Newbie
That sounds good! Just like 54. (Wont die)
How do u interpret 1411? N 1211?

Even in 四 there is a 八。think of it that way.
Newbie
But your 八 is trapped in a box

一世易易 - Forever Easy in Life
1211 got meaning one meh??
I think the Cantonese hates those with 4 only..
as usually it is #04 which is 定死 (sure die in Cantonese)
If i'm not wrong, this 4 and 8 thing started with the Cantonese.
Don't think it will yield similar results if you use Chinese pronounciation to do it.

my unit is more power .. #14-14... the fengshui guru and the agent say the same thing..
"14+14 = 28 = 易發 = Easy to Huat".. How you twist it.. like Ah Q.
But of course.. your consideration should be your buyers want to buy or not.. hehe.. So if you dont want to think too much.. just take the #12 loh.
Junior
if 12 cheaper get 12 lor.
Newbie
cheaper by a bit only.
in any case, 2 floors higher not much difference in the vew right?
Newbie
"一世易易 - Forever Easy in Life" YOU make me want to get 14-11
Junior
well if it's skies miltonia, 2 floors make a BIG difference
Newbie
Wow - my unit number at my new place will be 14-11! Never thought of it when I bought it.
Anyway, there are some that mind and there are some who won't mind (like me) when it comes to buying units with the number "4".
If the development is good, even those units with "4" in their unit numbers would be sold out.
Newbie
I am ok with 1411 but since buying for investment, it might be a small concern when I want to sell it....

Nothing wrong with 4 actually... the unit I'm staying got 4 and the one rented out oso got. No issues for meIn fact I quite like it
Senior
If you are buying for ins vestment. It is your tenant if your are renting and buyer if you sell later that you are worried. I know Indian only like certain nos.

Office Boy must comment on this.
The number 4 has no specific meaning whatsoever one la!
Buyers use 4 to depress the price.
When buying from developers, if they price the 14th floor the same price as the the 10 floor, then quick! grab the 14th floor.
8 is also used by sellers to up the price, if they charge you for the same price for 18th floor and the 24th floor (ie 23rd floor is cheaper than 18th floor) then at all cost, avoid the 8th floor.

yes, nothing wrong. But if want to sell, the pool of buyers gets a little smaller.Nothing wrong with 4 actually... the unit I'm staying got 4 and the one rented out oso got. No issues for me

But the whole thing says ..it is probably the timing of entry that determine the profit rather than the unit number.
And how much profit ..maybe then we can go do some research and see how much more you can get for a number 8 unit versus a number 4 unit.
Newbie
First launch price or subsale?
Newbie
my neighbouring unit is 08-08...
1st owner - divorced after staying in for less than 5 years
2nd owner - sold after buying less than 10 months - business failed
Now 3rd owner doing renovation....
All these happened within 7 years.... So is 8 auspicious? Maybe... Maybe not...
If we talk about stack number not level, end of the day the orientation of the unit is more important... I will take a 4 if its NS orientation then a 8 that is west faced
Junior
many factors. unit orientation... the ba zi of the owner. etc. some people bazi suitable to have '4' in their life. same thing, '8' might not be suitable for some pple. so this number thing is subjective. of coz all things equal, rather go for unit with 8 than with 4 to make it easier to sell in future. why make life difficult for yourself right?
incidentally, i noticed that the leftover units in nautical (5-storey devp) are mostly level 1 and level 4. it shows that pple do try to avoid if they can.
Newbie
First launch..
