For Asians, an address of 1344 means one life, four deaths

For Asians, an address of 1344 means "one life, four deaths"

The number 3 (pinyin san1) sounds similar to the character for "birth" (pinyin Sheng1).
The number 4 (pinyin si4) is considered an unlucky number in Chinese because it sounds like the word "death" (pinyin si3).

Similarly, the address 1314 sounds like "one life, one death" in both Mandarin and Cantonese. However, this is often used romatically to mean "until death do us part".

Whether you believe in these superstitions or not, it helps to know which addresses are lucky or unlucky in judging the resale value of the property later down the line. Even if not true, if a certain segment of the population is worried about living in a house with an "unlucky" number, then that may hurt future resale.

Good deal in great school district if you don't mind nonviolent death in the property

I just got word of a good deal in great school district if you don't mind nonviolent death in the property.

The seller got many great offers on this property, but apparently the buyers who submitted their offers did not read the disclosures carefully and changed their minds when it was pointed out to them that there was a death inside the property. The owner died peacefully December of last year.

Bottom line is if you don't mind that someone recently passed away inside the house, you can get a good deal on a property in a good school district.

For people who are superstitious, perhaps you could do some blessings to remove the death issues.

Out of respect for those involved, I did not post the address in this public blog. However, if you are a serious buyer, I can give you more details privately.
