Would you buy a house numbered 7

tommie1shunt

Following on the doom and gloom of the 13 thread, would anyone pay more for a house with the number 7.
It is supposed to be lucky, maybe the number 8 might be good, is it lucky with Asian people.
I can guess what most of you will say (Don't be rude, it's not big and clever.) but you never know someone might be superstitious enough.
And yes, my house number is 7.

I was born in a house numbered 7.

7 Park Way.

If I get a good deal, I can buy any house be it 7, 13, 8, 666, 333, 444 or whatever that be.

Many people happily believe in a giant man sitting in the sky, or that their entire life is plotted out on some mass-produced plastic cards from China... I am sure you could find someone who would be willing to pay more to live at Number 7. But it would probably take a while

It's the sort of thing I can imagine my mum saying is the icing on the cake, i.e. "I knew it was the right place the moment I stepped inside, it has a lovely view, perfect kitchen and it's even number 7, I have to have it!".

I want to buy a house with a name not a number.


I wouldn't mind a 7.

As long as it's an integer or rational number it's fine. 'pi' and 'e' would be fine as well as long as the post office allows use of their symbols and does not require writing down a ridiculous number of decimals on envelopes.

The A666 is a hop skip and jump from our house, oh er...
Quite big hops skips and jumps really...

We lived in a number 7 for a while and you could say it was lucky 'cos our son was conceived there

However I have also had lots of experience of living in houses with number 8 connections. Here is a full list of all the houses I have lived in (including those which are not related to number 8!) -

1) my family home (only one we lived in from my birth to when I left home) was 216 (2x1+6=8)

2) my uni flat was number 8 (burgled twice within two years)

3) first flat bought with DH was number 7 (married DH and conceived our son whilst living there)

4) first house bought was number 53 (5+3=8) (scary neighbour thought by other neighbours to be a witch - I kid you not - tried to tell my fortune said '8' would feature prominently in my life - she wrote out my 'fortune' but I destroyed it without reading it)

5) next house we bought was number 8 (burgled once in two years)

6) next house we bought was number 8 (this was my dream house and we were going to stay forever but we had financial probs and DH tried to kill himself)

7) next house we bought was number 120 but it also had a name (no '8' connection, but we hated living there and consider it one of our biggest mistakes, house-wise)

8) our current house has no number but a name comprised of 8 letters (it is also my 8th house and supposedly our final and forever home)..........

Definitely not - it's not exactly divisible by 3
