In Chinese, a number is considered lucky or unlucky based on how it sounds when pronounced. A good example is the number 4. A number 4 is considered the unluckiest number of all because it sounds like the Cantonese word for death or to die. The number 8 is considered a very lucky number since it sounds like the word for prosper when it is pronounced. In addition to the number 8, other numbers considered lucky or auspicious in the belief system of the Chinese culture, are:
- 9 is associated with longevity and dragons
- 6 is pronounced like the word for deer that symbolizes longevity
- 7 sounds similar to the number 8 when pronounced and is considered lucky in certain instances but unlucky in others
- 1 is considered lucky when it comes before the number 8
When it comes to selling a house, the following information is helpful when answering the question, "What are the Chinese lucky numbers to sell my house?" In China, the luckiest number to use is 8. Other lucky numbers are 9 and 6, but the number 8 is considered the most lucky of all. When 1 precedes the number 8, you're guaranteed prosperity.
Selling Price of Your Home
Many real estate sales have been lost simply because the perspective buyer considered the asking price to be unlucky. For example, if your asking price is $399,144 there are certain buyers that would never consider buying your house because the 4 is considered a very unlucky number to people of China, Korea and Japan as mentioned before. The number 1 preceding the 4 sounds like the word forguaranteed, so the selling price is considered as guaranteeing an unfortunate future for potential buyers. If you change the selling price to $399,188, then the same buyers would find the selling price to be very lucky. This is because the number 8 is considered the luckiest number. With the 1 before it, the number means guaranteed prosperity.

**FENG SHUI TIP**
You should make your lucky places clean and beautiful to keep and improve your luck, since the god of luck never likes a dirty place. You should also spend more time in the lucky places everyday.
The front door of your house represents your mouth, and it’s also where the lucky Chi energy can enter. Make sure that the approach isn’t overgrown, and keep the front of your house tidy. Avoid putting rubbish or thorny plants near the front door as this dissipates the amount of good energy entering your home.
