10. SELLING: Consider names and numbers.
Just when you think you’ve checked all the boxes for an easy sell of your house, take
a second look at your address. According to Zillow, street names and house numbers
matter! If you happen to live at 666 Fanny Hands Lane, you may be out of luck (however
that particular street is in the United Kingdom, so you should be safe). Innuendo-laden
street names tend to not sell as quickly as something like Thunder Road, for example.
American numerology says that 666 is bad luck and could decrease the value of your
home by 2 to 3 percent. Also, steer clear of the number 4, considered unlucky in Chinese
culture. Stick to the number 8, or include the lucky digits 316 in your asking price! n
