Do you believe in Feng Shui? Many property owners purchased their home via hiring of geomancers. Some of the principles of Fengshui are actually based on common sense. Others border along the line of absurdity.
Mythology 1: Living next to above ground MRT or LRT is a strict "No No" under Fengshui.
Even though it is super noisy, values of properties next to MRT actually commands a huge premium. For example, Lakefront Residences and La Feista (LRT track running along side). One can't always have the cake and eat it all the time. Obviously, most Singaporeans and PRs placed a huge premium over public transport convenience.
Mythology 2: Poison arrows from corner of buildings pointing in one's direction is bad.
Wow, this means most blocks of public and private housing are not livable.
Mythology 3: Unit layout must be squarish to enjoy good Fengshui. Odd shape floorplan is very bad.
Look at Clover by the Park in Bishan, the floorplan has odd shape (round) corners instead of the typical squarish/rectangular shape. So this is considered very bad? But owners who had purchased at 750 psf at launch before its TOP in 2012 would now be sitting on at least 50% capital appreciation. Huat Ar! Also, the layout that resembles clover is simply beautiful.
