Year of the Pig-Lucky for Real Estate?

Given that the Chinese New Year ushers in 2019 as the Year of the Pig, there’s strong signs that could indicate this year as a time of opportunities and blessings. Is it possible you put it to work for you in real estate? The 12th symbol of the Chinese zodiac calendar, the pig is recognized as a symbol of wealth, and Chinese astrologists believe that 2019 may well be a great year to invest and potentially make some money. For those of you born in the Year of the Pig – 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2019 – this is your year! But even if you weren’t born in the Year of the Pig, you could still put all those positive characteristics to work for you with regards to selling or buying a property.

Is the Year of the Pig Prove Lucky for Real Estate?

OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK

It’s tough to find another zodiac sign with nearly as much optimism and positivity as the pig. Despite having slower home sales, economic growth remains solid and the Federal Reserve is delaying on any interest rate increases – making 2019 very inviting to first-time home-buyers, down-sizers or current homeowners looking for an upgrade. Pigs are known to attract success – so set those priorities and get to work!

SEIZE OPPORTUNITY

It is said that those born in the Year of the Pig will have good luck in investment; now could be the time to pounce on a property while other people are stuck on pause. Inventory is bouncing back and more homes are within an affordable reach. Get moving now, as opposed to waiting until late March when the selling season typically begins, and you will probably just give yourself an advantage.

PRACTICE PATIENCE

Additional positives for the pig: patience and tolerance. Trying to find a new house or placing a beloved home for sale requires calm and endurance. Stay the course.

SYMBOLS OF LUCK

Include a little luck to the mix by embracing feng shui in the Year of the Pig. Take note of the lucky numbers of the pig year: 4, 6 and 8. Insert a lucky pig color into your home staging – select from yellow, gray, brown and golden. Watch out for homes that are facing the lucky directions, set your sights on southeast and northwest.
