It's fascinating how... members of this forum are so consumed with Chinese feng shui to the point where they truly believe it could affect their property values.  My oh my what Amurica has become. Rather fascinating indeed.

BTB you say this but would you buy a house in EW or OH3 if the address were:

4 Kingsdale
44 Main
444 Elm

I bet not.

Wrong.

I would buy any of those homes if they were at least 10% below market comps at the time of appraisal.

Why is that? Overpriced?  ;)

When Entrata was new, the sales was very slow, one of slowest sale track at OH.  And unlike new home from some other neighborhood with price increase phase after phase, Entrata's asking price didn't changes much from phase 1 to phase 10.

The home looks nice and price is very good, but that address....

What's wrong with the address? :eek:

The dreaded number 4 in the address..."death"  :)

I was under the impression that having one '4' in the address wasn't bad, so long as it had multiple numbers?

Expert commentary?

In fujian dialect: 2 sounds like "you", 7 sounds like "go" --

This is asinine.

I would agree but I understand if others don't want it -- just imagine every time you tell someone your address in your dialect and it always sounds like saying you go die -- that is just not acceptable especially for people who believe in superstition

I find it fascinating how members of this forum are so consumed with the realization that some mumbo jumbo might negatively impact their home value later, to the point that they would only purchase such a property having said mumbo jumbo at a significant discount to relative comps.

The irony is in the irony.
 
Might want to check out 10 Charleston. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/10-Charleston-92620/home/4781573

Cons:
Half driveway that you can't even park your car. For a detached SFR, this is really irritiating.
Noticeable road noise from Irvine Blvd standing in backyard or outside.
2 baths and kitchen are original condition.
Original windows (single paned).

Pros:
Laminate floors
Layout is pretty good with vaulted ceilings.
Walking distance to Zion market.

That home will get multiple offers over list price and close well into the $700s.

Yeah, this one will be sold in no time.

You also need to add these to the Pros:

$60/ month HOA
No MR
Zone to NW High
A true SFR
A very decent sized 4275 sf lot that has potential to do room additions in the future

Yup, pending in 4 days...going over list price for sure (my guess is $725k to $750k).
