In the process of buying a house, the choice of floor often becomes a problem for buyers. In particular, the 4th, 10th, 14th, and 18th floors are often mistaken for floors that cannot be purchased due to some rumors and superstitious beliefs. However, this perception is not entirely true.
1. The disconnect between superstitious concepts and actual conditions
First of all, let's be clear that there is no scientific basis for many myths and superstitious beliefs that certain floors are not suitable for purchase. For example, the 4th floor is taboo by some because of the homonym between "four" and "death", while the 10th floor is taboo because "ten" is considered an unlucky number in some cultures. However, these notions are purely subjective and lack a practical basis. In practice, floors such as the 4th and 10th floors are often not much different from other floors in terms of lighting, ventilation, and visibility. Therefore, when choosing a floor, buyers should abandon superstitious notions and take actual needs and preferences as the starting point.
2. A variety of factors should be considered in the selection of floors
Secondly, the choice of floor should take into account a variety of factors. In addition to the floor numbers themselves, buyers also need to consider factors such as floor height, lighting, ventilation, noise, etc. For example, floors such as the 4th and 10th floors are relatively low, which may be blocked by surrounding buildings, trees, etc., resulting in less daylighting and ventilation than high-rise floors. The 14th and 18th floors are relatively high and may have better views and ventilation. In addition, buyers need to be aware of the planning and development trends in their area to avoid buying floors that may face demolition or environmental degradation in the future. Therefore, when choosing a floor, buyers should consider a variety of factors rather than blindly avoiding certain floors just because of some rumors or superstitious beliefs.
3. Prudent buying does not mean avoiding it completely
Finally, buying prudently is not the same as avoiding these three floors entirely. Although the 4th, 10th, 14th, and 18th floors are avoided by some people because of some rumors and superstitious concepts, this does not mean that these floors must not be purchased. In the actual process of buying a house, buyers can choose a floor according to their actual needs and preferences. For example, if a home buyer is more concerned about daylighting and ventilation, then a high-rise floor may be more suitable; If buyers are more concerned about safety and convenience, then the lower floors may be more suitable. Therefore, buying prudently does not mean that these three floors must be avoided altogether, but that you should make an informed choice based on a full understanding of the characteristics of the floors.
In summary, the 4th floor, 10th floor, 14th floor, 18th floor, etc. are not floors that cannot be purchased. Buyers should abandon superstitions when choosing a floor, consider a variety of factors, and make an informed choice based on their actual needs and preferences. Prudent buying does not mean avoiding these floors altogether, but making the most suitable choice based on a full understanding of the characteristics of the floor. This is the only way to ensure that buyers are able to buy the ideal for their needs and preferences.
