A mixed response (great to have different views!) but just thought I'd add in another observation.
I've been doing some research into property prices around my area to help my sis out with trying to set a reasonable price in the current market (very difficult at the moment).
I checked out some stats on flats that had sold over recent years in the local area and the
lowest selling price was £50k for flat number 50 on the same road as me. (I'm thinking 5/pents here). I walked past this afternoon and out of curiosity looked up and noticed it's empty and looking very much in need of some TLC.
My mum lives at No.5 and she's always having problems (niggles) with the flat plus she's on a very low income.
To a large extent where I live depends on what I can afford and what is available when I'm looking. If it feels right - so be it - but you can bet I'll be doing a little maths to see what number the home has.
Someone also mentioned the price being right. I think that is true financially but also numerically. It's possible the asking price might have an influence on whether it's a good or smooth sale or whether it even sells. For example, I don't think I would want to sell or advertise a property for a figure with lots of 5's in - like £255, 595 for example. I'd rather say £256,000 or £254,000. People tend to put £595 on the end but the sale usually goes to a round number. Hmmm, given myself something to chew over now. Both the advertising price and the final sale price have their own particular vibrations numerically. I wouldn't apply this sort of thinking to everyday goods, but houses, cars.... yes, maybe I would.
