Perhaps a very strange aspect of the home sales process is this: one of the single most important factors affecting buyers is never explained and rarely discussed.
When it comes to a home for sale, some realtors call it “emotion”, others call it “sense”, some call it “atmosphere”, and more. That is the “aura” or “atmosphere of the house”.
So let’s start now to explain what we can’t explain: Most of us immediately detect “emotions” or “atmospheres” every time we enter a house we’ve never been to before. I know that.
Realtors will tell you that this “something” is very influential in gelling viewers to the extent they want to buy a home. That “what not” is partly received in the mind, but it is often described as a “intestinal” sensation. A completely intangible sensation that makes us feel good (or bad) about a particular home without plausible explanations.
Personally, I think most of the houses I lived in had a good “atmosphere” about them. Many, especially new homes, tend to give me a slight “atmosphere” that is neither here nor there. This suggests to me that older homes inhabited over time tend to have a stronger “atmosphere”, or perhaps more energy residue. But that’s just my personal opinion. Occasionally, I will enter a house that resonates with a positive aura that might actually compliment its owner. “I have to say that this house has a great atmosphere.” They usually know exactly what I mean, and that’s often the reason they bought it. Talk to me I rarely get what I call an “off” atmosphere, and only once at home I get something that feels really “bad.”
Agents state that ensuring sales is really essential, but pamphlets never mention this good quality.
Brian Dempsey, DNG’s Stillorgan branch, has been selling homes for over 25 years and is pleased to see that mostly good vibrations are everything in Ireland.
“I call it” emotion. ” Especially many female viewers will actually say it frankly. Sometimes the house is in poor condition, but you will be very enthusiastic and say, “I love the feelings of this house.” Or, when a house looks nice, you might say, “I can’t put my finger on it, but I don’t know how it feels.” Men rarely say what “it” is. If they don’t receive it, they just “may sniff well, I don’t like it” and that’s it.
“From experience, this perceived” emotion “is close to the highest priority of all women’s priorities when making a purchase. And for couples, it’s usually women who make all the important decisions to buy.
“If you need proof of existence, consider that modern homes have 20 photos online, with virtual reality walkthroughs, maps and measurements, and BER ratings. It’s a person arriving. It means that you can see every aspect of the house before you do. So, having digested everything, they may enthusiastically call to arrange a viewing, but their attitude. Can change on arrival. They found a house on the street depicted, a nice kitchen as seen, a stunning view as shown, and mold in the utility room as shown in the picture. Because you can’t experience “sense”. And if that’s not appropriate for the viewer, you’ll see their attitude change completely as soon as they enter the door. It’s instant. “
When I was in my twenties, I lived in a house with a very different aura about it for several years. I picked it up when I first entered. It’s neither good nor bad. But it wasn’t neutral. Because I was immediately impressed by the people who stayed and visited there. I describe it as a presence. And then there was an eerie event that suggested a bit of annoyance. I checked for anomalous drafts, sounds coming from next door. I asked my neighbors about the history of the house in case something went wrong. nothing. Whatever it was, it did no harm and we lived with it.
And while agents will tell you that negative atmospheres are rare, most can be associated with at least one hair growth story. Brian Dempsey adds: It was in the southeast. Immediately I felt vaguely sick. Obviously there was no mistake. However, the other agents were so affected that they actually called the local Gardai and asked them to “see the house.” He did this for no reason, except for this overwhelmingly bad feeling he got from it. We were later contacted by a detective looking for owner details. It turned out that some terrible crimes were committed in the house. “
My own “bad atmosphere” experience came from an old-fashioned house in the city of northern Dublin, giving off an ominous and enveloping hostility. I felt as soon as I went inside. This became significantly more serious in the living room and certain box bedrooms. I didn’t say anything, but the realtor noticed a change in my face. Almost as an apology, he said: Despite the competitive price, it took a year to sell to the builder / landlord. I later learned that it was owned by a care facility with strict records.
On the positive side, on the other hand, Janet Carroll, who runs a boutique real estate agency on Dublin’s South Coastline, wants her to acquire a main street branch, despite seeing many similar buildings. Persuaded her to be the “positive aura” she detected when she walked. “People are still talking about their positive energy when they are walking on the door,” she says.
“In our office, we talk about the” aura “of the house. I love it when I pick up a positive aura in the house I sell. Because viewers can feel it, and it’s a pleasure to sell the property.
“Remember that the first thing a couple did when they bought a house was to celebrate the house not so long ago. Leave the aura as it is. It’s considered quite strange. I didn’t. Conflicting auras are rarely experienced in the homes I sell, but I felt it several times, so I declined the instructions. I’m not the right person to sell it. Just tell the vendor. “
She adds: “There is a difference between the atmosphere and the aura. The first one can be changed by redecorating or rearranging. But the aura is different. If pressed to put a finger on it, it can stay at home. I think it’s a kind of inherited memory and energy that can be done. “
Carol concludes: “I think there’s a scientific explanation behind that much that we don’t understand yet. When people enter a house they haven’t entered yet, they come from a variety of visual and sensual messages, smells and colors. Receiving triggers. The unconscious brain can put them all together to create a unified sense of “something.” “
In science she may have points. In Austria, builders provide homes with a certificate that they have passed the geopathic stress test. It is based on the risk of “bad” electricity and radiation from the depths of the globe, which is said to cause headaches, aggression and hyperactivity in homes.
Feeling bad? We would have been yelling if they told us thirty years ago that invisible gas would come from Earth to make us sick in our homes. Currently, the state offers radon home test kits.
