Buying a condo

[myfs_104892]

Hi Master,

When buying a condo/house, does it matter whether it is near to a temple or fire station ? Which floor is considered a good feng shui floor ? Is it good to have the hall facing the pool ? Thank you

Dear David,

I believe, in Singapore and everywhere else, needless to say, usually "better" Feng Shui homes or apartments (especially in choice) locations often common a higher premium than others.

Thus, this is why for most condos, units facing "good views" such as the water feature (pool) etc often can command a higher price than say a unit next to, facing the dustbin area etc...

Although Feng Shui is a major consideration, often when it comes to resale apartments, the usual "bad comments" are:

1. This is a "west" facing home or apartment - - quite hot

2. Fire station

Yes, not so much of Feng Shui, but imagine the "noise" of the sirens ringing or the station activating their siren etc...

3. Temple

In particular, best not to have the temple facing one's apartment. Or if one's home or apartment is low level, have the roof of the temple slicing or becoming a sha qi to the apartment.

In particular, it is best that one's apartment or home is not in a North-east to South-west alignment with the temple. (NE = devil's gate and SW = devil's back door).

Previously, I had written the senario that majority of Singaporeans are a country of salaried workers.

And given this senario, and aging population, come 20 to 30 years time, and currently with so many condos, and new condos added, unfortunately with limited CPF, inflation and many are not on pension or government subsidy, there can be a substantial number of Singaporeans -- retiring (but with long life of more than 20 to 30 years). Down grading from a condo is a great possibility.

And imagine, if one had invested in a common or "lousy" condo, how to sell it or even if we want to sell, sell at rock bottom prices! Thus, in my opinion, therefore, and not so much on Feng Shui, we should be very prudent on selecting our current dream home.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
