Vastu Shastra Tips for Buying and Selling Real Estate Properties

Intro

Vastu Shastra guides site selection, house layout, room placement, and remedies that buyers and sellers can use to reduce risk and increase buyer interest. This guide lists field-tested vastu tips for buyers, sellers, and agents, and shows how to use Vastu to improve sale outcomes and buyer confidence.

Why Vastu matters in property transactions

• Buyer preference: developers and agents report buyer interest in Vastu for real estate as a market factor. Mention of Vastu compliance can affect time on market. Housing

• Decision trigger: for many buyers, simple checks on orientation and room placement act as decision triggers. Use a Vastu checklist in listings to shorten buyer evaluation time.

Quick checklist for buyers (use this checklist when evaluating a property)

1. Plot shape and slope

   • Prefer square or rectangular plots. Check for major irregular cutouts. Irregular plots can require design remedies or layout changes.

2. Main entrance direction

   • Note the main entrance direction. North, east, or northeast are commonly preferred in Vastu practice for entry points. Confirm exact facing with a compass. 

3. Kitchen location

   • Kitchen should ideally align with the fire direction in Vastu. Note fuel source position and ventilation.

4. Master bedroom position

   • Check room position relative to centre and corners. For sleep and rest, position and head direction matter in Vastu recommendations.

5. Toilet and septic placement

   • Avoid toilets in the centre of the house and avoid locating septic outflow towards key entrances.

6. Plot slope and drainage

   • Confirm natural slope, drainage, and boundary setbacks. Water flow and land level affect site Vastu and future structural work.

7. External surroundings

   • Note nearby structures, road bends, and overhead wires. These items can change site energy and resale perception.

Checklist for sellers and agents (how to present Vastu signals in listings)

1. Publish a short Vastu summary in property descriptions: include plot shape, entrance facing, and room layout points using Vastu Shastra terms.

2. Add a downloadable one-page Vastu checklist to property pages. Buyers often use a checklist to validate a property before visits.

3. For properties with minor Vastu issues, list simple remedies and costs. Small remedies lower buyer anxiety.

4. If a property follows Vastu rules, state that clearly in marketing copy and listing bullets. Developer marketing shows value in this claim. 

Practical vastu tips and field remedies (action items)

Plot and orientation

• Check plot shape and boundary lines. If plot has missing corners, consider design solutions that restore usable square area or compensating layout moves.

• Measure facing with a digital compass at the plot centre at sunrise time for best consistency.

Entrance and foyer

• Note the main door position and swing. A clear, unobstructed entrance creates a simple Vastu alignment. Keep the entrance area clean and open.

Kitchen and cooking area

• Locate the stove so the cook faces the preferred fire direction during use. Ensure exhaust vents do not face living areas directly.

Bedroom placement and head direction

• Arrange sleeping direction per basic Vastu guidance. Keep heavy storage away from the head end.

Living and dining

• Place living room on central or permitted sides; avoid main seating directly under large beams.

Water features and drainage

• Manage water flow so that site drainage does not push water toward main entrances. Position borewells and tanks per layout guidance.

Remedies for common Vastu issues

• Reposition furniture to change energy pathways.

• Use low-cost structural changes like mirrors, lighting, and room partitioning to tune room energy.

• For land slope issues, evaluate drainage fixes and retaining walls with civil input.
