From looking for a new job and starting a business to finding and moving into a new home, many of us make the most of a new year by embarking on a new milestone. The Year of the Metal Rat brings with it a promise of a fresh start. If investing and settling in a forever home is on top of your list, finding the right property should be a priority.
It’s not enough that you choose a towering skyscraper that looks good on brochures — you need to consider its location, the comfort you’ll get, the amenities, and the security it promises as well. If you believe and follow the principles of feng shui, you can also use it as a guide in choosing the right property. According to feng shui, there are features you can look into to see if a property is auspicious or not. Here are some of them:
An ideal location harnesses positive energy
When buying a home, it’s a must to choose an accessible location with enough transportation options. Taking into consideration the principles of feng shui, you need to pick an area with good energy as this affects the property. To ensure good quality energy, the location needs to be safe and the building has a well-lit and bright lobby or main entry.
A pleasant neighborhood adds to a property’s Chi
How do you make sure an area’s safe and ideal to live in? Aside from its cleanliness, you need to consider the entire neighborhood where it belongs. Pick a property that’s located where there are different activities happening — such as an area near a park or a clubhouse — as vacant areas tend to equate to inactive energy.

Huge open spaces give the property enough breathing room
If the building you’re eyeing has an expansive open area in front, mark it as a pro on your house-hunting list. According to feng shui, an open area means more energy can be collected and directed to your home.

A nearby water feature invites wealth and prosperity
Feng shui’s principles gives importance to water, as the element is believed to generate chi or energy. Experts say to invite prosperity into the home, it’s best to pick a property with a water element in front or flowing water on the left side. To ensure wealth and vitality, it’s important that the water is clean.
A floor plan that welcomes good luck and positive energy
When it’s time to pick a unit where you’ll live, feng shui experts suggest getting a unit on a higher floor as with only a few units above you, the lighter the energy for your condo, with more light, and a good view. As much as possible, avoid getting a unit that directly faces an elevator or a staircase. If you’re schedule to visit the property, note the floor plan of the unit as well as it affects the flow of energy. It’s essential that energy can flow freely around your space.
