THE CONDO SECRET

A buyer once came across an attractively priced condo online.

He had been searching for a property for months, and this listing immediately caught his attention. The price seemed below market, so he scheduled an ocular right away.

When he arrived at the building lobby, the owner personally greeted him and accompanied him upstairs.

As they reached the unit, the buyer was about to step inside when something odd happened.

The owner stopped at the doorway.

He didn’t go in.

He simply stood there.

The buyer didn’t think much of it at first. Perhaps the owner was just being polite and letting him inspect the unit freely. So the buyer entered and walked around the property by himself.

From inside the unit, he asked a few questions.

The owner answered them—but never moved from the doorway.

After a quick inspection, they wrapped up the viewing and went their separate ways.

The buyer quickly submitted an offer at 10% below the asking price.

To his surprise, the owner accepted almost immediately.

“Wow… I got lucky,” the buyer thought.

But something still bothered him.

Why wouldn’t the owner step inside the unit?

Curiosity got the better of him, so he started asking around the building.

Most of the staff gave the usual answers:

“Hindi po namin alam.”

“Bago lang po ako dito.”

Eventually, he found someone who knew the story—a friend of a friend who lived in the building.

That’s when he learned the truth.

A previous tenant had committed suicide inside the unit.
