Feng Shui & the Front Door

🧭 Feng Shui & the Front Door: What Pasadena Condo Sellers Should Know

If you're planning to sell a Pasadena condo, it's important to think beyond square footage and curb appeal. In communities with strong Asian and Taiwanese cultural influences, Feng Shui can be a big factor in how buyers feel about your home—and whether they make an offer.

In our latest blog post at Pasadena Condos by The Paul Kaplan Group, we explore one of the most critical elements in Feng Shui: the front door. Known as the “mouth of qi,” the front door is considered the main energy gateway into a home.

Even if you’re not a Feng Shui follower yourself, making small changes to your condo’s entryway can dramatically improve how it feels to potential buyers—especially those sensitive to energy flow, layout, and symbolism.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Direction matters: South-facing doors are considered lucky, while north- and west-facing doors may need balancing through color, plants, or lighting.

• Avoid common Feng Shui red flags, like stairs pointing directly at the front door or mirrors facing the entry.

• Simple fixes—like adding greenery, using warm lighting, or applying color theory based on the door’s direction—can create a more welcoming and harmonious vibe.

• Buyers may pay more for homes that “feel right,” especially in a market that values Feng Shui.

✅ We’ve also included a practical checklist to help condo sellers prep their entryway with Feng Shui in mind.
