Feng Shui Selling Houses
By Kartar Diamond
Can Feng Shui remedies help sell a house? This is a question that comes up regularly. When a house is languishing on the market, the real estate agent or the homeowner may begin to wonder if the services of a feng shui specialist can identify what it is about the house that may be turning away or turning off prospective buyers.
Realtors often encourage sellers to make cosmetic improvements before selling a house. It’s called “curb appeal.” A fresh coat of paint, some landscaping, new carpet, and lighting fixtures can make a house look more like it is in move-in condition.
Sellers are sometimes encouraged to remodel bathrooms and kitchens to also make a house more attractive for sale. Taken a step further, homes are often staged so that they can gloss over awkward areas, inspire creative solutions, and give prospective buyers a feeling of affluence and potential pride in owning such a residence, which can provide a desirable lifestyle.
But feng shui goes way beyond what you can see with your eyes. From my perspective, the ease or difficulty in selling a house can sometimes be directly related to the current occupants’ non-obvious’ money luck’. In other words, if you live in a house that is considered bad for money potential, trying to sell it easily may just be one more manifestation of the house’s bad influence or final sabotage on the current occupants’ financial picture.
What does a house that is bad for money look like? This might be like asking what a woman who is 36 hours pregnant looks like. It is not obvious; rather, it is based on when the house was built and its compass orientation. Once a competent feng shui practitioner has identified a house that can be undermining for money luck, then remedies can be put in place for the sellers to improve their personal financial potential, assuming they are still living in the house. This has worked for my clients. They get the energy balanced in the house for themselves, which translates into a quicker sale.
If the sellers are no longer living in the house up for sale, their delay in selling it can be attributed to the house they are dwelling in. You see, you cannot be affected by a property you are not living in, at least not directly. If you own a rental property with terrible energy for money luck, your tenants may struggle to pay the rent, which would affect you too. But if the rental house indicates some potential health problem, the property owner would not succumb to it if they are not living there.
What is often considered “curb appeal,” and the more conventional updates done to a house intended for sale, can usually be considered good feng shui as well. Feng Shui adherents do not want to see things in disrepair, dilapidation, or neglect. We don’t want to see things that are depressing, or that look unsafe. Regardless of their culture or values, most people have nearly universal responses to homes and what makes us feel welcome and comfortable versus off-putting or tense.
To sum it up: Yes, Feng Shui adjustments can help sell a house under a variety of circumstances:
A local demographic that takes Feng Shui into consideration
Obvious esthetic or structural flaws that are considered bad Feng Shui, not just bad design
Non-obvious energetic features to a house which nevertheless influence both the buyer and seller
