In this era of increasingly hot real estate market, the topic of buying a house is going on almost all the time. One weekend not long ago, I accompanied my good friend Li Ming on a journey to find my ideal home. Li Ming is a buyer who just needs to buy, and he knows a little about the details of buying a house. At his repeated requests, I, an old man who knew a little bit about real estate, became his guide to buying a house. Our destination is a development in a new area of the city, where the environment is pleasant and green. After some visits, Li Ming obviously likes this community very much. Just as the two of us were discussing how to start, the sales representative gave us a piece of news that made us all slightly stunned. "At present, there are only the top floors of the 2nd, 13th, 14th, 18th and 33rd floors of this real estate.
As soon as the sales representative's words fell, Li Ming's brows furrowed. These floors are usually not preferred by people. In the minds of home buyers, they are often considered "leftovers" or because of some kind of defect that makes them difficult to sell. However, the choice of each floor contains layers of knowledge. I looked at Li Ming's hesitant expression and thought to myself, it's time for my little real estate knowledge to show off to the fullest. "Li Ming, to be honest, each floor has its pros and cons, the key is your needs. I started to take my time. The first is the 2nd floor. Although the second floor is prohibitive due to poor lighting and easy obstruction, it has its own unique advantages. Down-to-earth, close experience of community greening, for people who like to be close to nature, it is also a good choice.
In addition, the issue of sewerage, and whether there is independent sewerage, is also an important factor to consider. Then there is the 13th floor. This floor was left behind, in fact, mostly because of the taboo on this number in Western culture. But in my opinion, this is precisely a good choice, because for you and me who are not superstitious, it is really not bad. As for the 14th and 18th floors, their fates are similarly determined by numbers. The 14th floor is considered unlucky in Chinese culture, while the 18th floor is highly sought after for its homonym "一发". If you're not sensitive to numbers, these two floors are ideal for quality of life. Finally, we come to the question on the top floor of the 33rd floor. This floor is like the boundary between magic and reality. It's cold in the heights, but the view is infinitely good. Some people love it like an idiot, and some people avoid it like a snake and scorpion.
But if you love Skyline enough, it's definitely one of a kind. I analyzed them one by one for Li Ming, and he listened quietly, with a glint of thought flashing in his eyes. Buying a house is indeed a pivotal decision for him. It's not just about spending money, it's about investing in your future life, starting a whole new chapter in your life. "So, what do you think?" Li Ming finally asked after some discussion. I spread my hands and gave my opinion: "If I had to choose, I would prefer to go to the top." Think about it, what a magnificent view and privacy it provides. However, the final decision depends on your own preferences and needs. Li Ming smiled and nodded, obviously he already had his own considerations. We left the sales center and walked out into the sun.
There was a hint of determination in his eyes, and I knew that he had made a choice in his heart. And I, too, have fulfilled my mission to be a friend, to provide him with the most honest and selfless advice. After all, in a world of choices, every decision can start a whole new journey. Buying a house is never a simple matter. It tests our determination, our vision, and our vision of the future. But in this complex process, sometimes the company of a friend may be the best navigation. When you stand on the top of the tallest building in the city, with a panoramic view of the city on all sides, and the sun pouring down like gold, have you ever dreamed of such a residence? The penthouse, for many people, is a status symbol, a challenge to the heights, and a dream to be away from the hustle and bustle and close to the sky.
However, behind every achievement, there is always a double edge. Today, let's peel through the clouds and dissect the dwellings that stand on the high ground - the top floor. Its advantages speak for themselves. The first rays of morning light pour down in front of your window at the beginning of the morning sun, or in the evening, when the night falls, the city lights twinkle and rise, like stars, everything is under your feet. Such a view is undoubtedly incomparable to other floors. Every day, you can wake up in such a light and fall asleep in such a galaxy. The pressure seems to become insignificant here, and the distant view of the space gives people an infinite release and freedom. Also, if you're sensitive to noise upstairs, the top floor is undoubtedly the best option. There's no need to worry about the footsteps of your upper-class neighbors or the sound of the TV in the middle of the night. Here, it's just you and the serene sky.
But, as the ancients said, "There is no such thing as perfect." "The top floor also has its dark side that cannot be ignored. Fire is an emergency that everyone does not want to encounter, and once it occurs, it is much more difficult to escape on the top floor than on other floors. Water and power outages have become a more serious problem here, after all, the higher the altitude, the more dependent on perfect facilities. The heat of summer increases the frequency and power consumption of air conditioners, while the cold of winter requires more heating facilities. In the unlikely event that the roof leaks, the cumbersome and expensive maintenance is also a big burden. What's more, the occupants of the top floor sometimes face a fear of heights, or a sense of mental instability, as if their connection to the earth has become fragile. Wind has become another challenge for the top residents.
Overnight, if you forget to close your windows, the howl of the wind is enough to keep you up at night. In this contrast, the choice of the top floor seems to be a gamble, are you willing to take these potential risks for the sake of that overlook? At the moment you decide to buy a home, if you find that there are only the top floors left and you are hesitant about them, why not slow down your pace for a while, and after a while, check to see if there are any new floors to be released, or try to find another sales inquiry. Because sales offices often have their sales strategy, leaving a group of ideal floors as the final sale, and clearing those that are relatively difficult to sell first.
The real wisdom when it comes to buying a home is whether you understand your needs well enough and whether you are ready for the joys and challenges of living in a high place. Remember, explore the knowledge of buying a house and consider every decision, because it is not only an asset, but also an important stage for your future life. May you find the floor that makes your heart flutter in this journey of finding home, and may you be able to look up at the stars in front of your window at night, and say softly: "This is home." ”
