Everything is, related to affinity, even purchasing our, homes too, and the timing, and everything else must be together combined into one, for the deal to get, made! Translated…
"The property I'd wanted to live in was rented out this morning", there's that look of loss on my friend's, face, and even as I'd, tried to console with her, that it was a matter of, "affinity", it probably won't register with her, the facts are what they are, let's just, keep, searching then.
No matter if it's renting or purchasing, we all go through the process of seeing the properties. That was, a given, does anybody NOT go and check out a property they want to, live in first?

"I'm sorry, I will have to cancel the showing I'd scheduled with you on Saturday", the realtor called, and, my college classmate who' wanted to buy the property, can't help but show her looks of disappointment, was it not agreed upon, that the place would get shown to three parties, and we'd all, drawn the numbers already, are you, playing me for a, fool? Don't know if it was because of how the realtor put it, she'd wanted to press the details out of the person, and the realtor told, "because that property is close to the MRT, and it is only six years old, without the parking space, so that's why the cost was so low, the buyer told that he didn't need to see it, and started, negotiating the prices, then, we'd made a deal."
"Just like that?", as I'd heard her retelling it to me, I was in disbelief, right on the opposite of the Taipei City MRT Station, a suite with a tiny space, a place that's "evenly priced", broken the ten million dollars N.T. mark too, too weird that the person purchased the place without seeing it first. And, I imagine, that it'd felt like the springtime temperatures, my friend weathered through the four season in one, week.
And so, we can only, turn back to the house hunting website to find another new property for her. Too many places, skimming through the real estate websites is exactly like the dating sites, or the job hunting sites, being able to set the criteria for what we're searching for, then, finding exactly what we need, that's a skill that the online age residents are needing, and, those that are way too low, or way too high from our desired goals, just, don't see it. By the opposite, if it came our turns to sell our homes one day, or to sell our own skills, knowing what labels to use, writing the eye-catching introductions that's the key.
Although, for those who are excellent in purchasing the properties, they do NOT need to see the properties, we're just, ordinary, and, even as there were the matches, we still needed to, physically go and see the properties ourselves personally. The spaces would be like the sum of time and the world, if what we're looking for in comfortable space, then, we definitely need to have some connections to the place. For me, looking at properties is looking at the past, and the futures too, and, if we'd connected, isn't it, up to, affinity to, decide too?

Once I'd gone house hunting to Donghu, as the realtor showed the place to me, although the homeowner had left the house, there were still the Chinese medicines cooking on the stoves, filling the entire property up with the strong scent. I saw from the dropdown window of the place, saw the shrine of someone's ancestor of a top-floor add-on, sitting on the living room couch, the words on the shrine, was, more than, clear to see, the scent and the visual inputs I had at that location, was totally, magical. I'd asked, the reasons why the owner wanted to sell it, could it be, that the owner didn't feel at-ease or ill here? The realtor smiled, and not gave me an, answer, seems like a, never-ending, story.
And so, this is on how there's that need for a connection to a place that we're, purchasing, and this goes to show, that everything is predestined, you are purchasing your place, because it's meant to be yours, and, sometimes, the least expected place was the one, we found that place called, home, things are, weird like that.
