Two offers for her apartment, and she picked the first one

8 July 2026Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

She had two offers on her apartment and asked which one to take. I suggested the first, and the payment came through in 8 days.

Less than 24 hours into the Jia Wu month, the apartment sold. I already received the deposit.

进入甲午月不到24小时，1房卖掉了，已经收定金

Zongyuan, this apartment is priced at 415,000. Today, Agency A said a buyer wants to purchase it. He'll pay 10,000 deposit first, and the remaining down payment within 15 days. The reason is he's selling his old house to buy this one, and the money from his sale will come through in 15 days. My apartment has a tenant too, who needs 15 days to move out after the sale. To lower the buyer's down payment ratio, they want to write the transaction price as 435,000 on the contract. A friend of mine did this before, seemed fine, pretty normal? Then there's Buyer B, a property flipper introduced by a friend. He already gave me 10,000 deposit. After signing the contract, he'll pay me 410,000 directly, then renovate the apartment nicely and sell it to a private buyer. He'll pay the remaining 5,000 after he sells it. There would be some notarization procedures involved, the contract would be more complicated. Also there's a risk that if he can't sell it for a long time, I won't get that 5,000. I'm also worried that over time, he might mortgage the apartment or something.

师父，就这个房子，41.5万价格。今天有一家中介A说有一个客户来买房的，他先付1万定金给我，15天内给我剩余的首付。原因是，他属于看房置换，卖老房子的钱这15天内能下来，我的房子也有租客，卖了房他需要15天搬走。为了给客户降低首付比例，他们要把我的房子成交价格写成 43.5万。这个操作好像我之前有个朋友也这样搞过，没有啥问题，还比较正常？然后另外有一个炒房客B，朋友介绍的，他已经给我1万定金，签了合同之后他直接给我41万，然后他就要把这房子拿去装修的很好看，然后再卖给个人客户，卖掉以后再补我5000的尾款。那中间就会涉及到一些公证程序了，合同啊会比较麻烦，还有一个风险就是他迟迟卖不出去，这5000块啊直收不回。我担心还有一个可能时间长了，中途他把这房子拿去抵押了什么的。

Could you cast a divination for me to see which one is more reliable, A or B? I'm a bit anxious, both of them will come to see me tomorrow morning. If A is a legitimate agency with a real buyer, I can still back out of the other deal.

请师傅帮我起个卦，看看A和B哪个靠谱。有点着急，他俩明天一早都会来找我。如果A真的是靠谱的中介是真实的客户要买，我还可以反悔。

Please help me take a look.

请师父帮忙看看。

Let me check.

Qi Men outer chart. Bing Wu [redacted] The whole chart is fu yin (repeating trigrams), meaning there are multiple buyers, but fu yin also means slowness — the process will drag on. You are in the Kan palace, currently with Zhi Fu and double Ren, meaning you are in the dominant position. The first buyer A is in [redacted] with Wu earth and Open Gate, plus Jiu Tian — this is a buyer who genuinely wants to make the deal, and their palace generates yours. But this buyer is selling a house to upgrade; either the house they're selling is far away, or the process is long, so you'll need to wait. As for the second buyer B, in the Dui trigram — their palace also generates yours, but with less strength. Plus there's Ji earth, meaning they have many hidden agendas, with clearly more uncontrollable factors. Not recommended for cooperation.

奇门外盘丙午[redacted] 全盘看为伏吟，客户为多，但是同时伏吟也为慢，事情的流程会拖得比较长。你落在坎宫位，目前见值符，双壬，为主导地位。第一个客户A落在[redacted]见戊土和开门，此外见九天，为真心实意想要交易的客户，且生你的宫位，但是这个要置换的客户，卖的房子要么路途远，要么流程长，需要等待。再看第二个客户B，在兑卦，虽然也生你宫位，但是力度减小，此外见己土为小心思多，其中不可控因素明显增多，不建议合作。

A few suggestions: 1. Prioritize Buyer A. You can be somewhat flexible on the contract terms — for example, change the 15-day agreement to 20/25 days, but at the same time require a penalty clause. For example, 3,000 penalty for each day of late payment. Also, recommend online contract filing or notarization, so the contract has legal effect. 2. Raise the deposit amount to increase the cost of backing out, suggest between 20,000 and 60,000. 3. From this chart, the money will basically arrive around the Wu month. Try to finish the main transaction before the Wei month (before July 5th). Entering the Wei month, disputes are more likely to happen.

几个建议： 1 优先考虑A客户，合同签署内容可以适当放宽，比如15天约定可以改为 20/25天，但是同时要求要有违约金的的约束，比如晚给钱一天，就交付 3000的违约金。此外建议网签或者公证，合同要有法律效力。 2 定金的金额往上抬，增加违约成本，建议放在2-6万之间。 3 这个盘看，收到钱基本就在午月附近，尽量在未月前（7.5）之前大头交易完毕，进入未月容易有扯皮的事情。

In short, push it through quickly in the Wu month.

总之午月超速推

Be flexible on the terms, but firm on pushing the process forward.

约定上可以放宽，推进上要强硬。

Put some firm terms in place.

给他上强度

Client

Okay, got it.

嗯呢好哒明白了

Will the agreed 415,000 price still change?

谈好41.5还会有变?

Zongyuan

I'm not sure how much agency fee or transaction fee you'll have to pay. You can calculate that and deduct it later to see if there will be any fluctuation up or down.

我不太确定你实际的这个中介费或者这个交易费要给出去多少啊，你到时候可以算上之后扣减一下啊，看一下会不会有这个上下的波动。

Client

It's net proceeds for me.

净收诶

Okay, I'll go push it forward urgently.

嗯嗯那我就去加急推进

Selling an apartment is getting harder and harder [emoji]

卖房越来越不容易[emoji]

Zongyuan

Right.

对

Mm, be sure to get this done in the fifth month. Once we enter the Wei month, it'll be more troublesome. On one hand, the contract is prone to falling through or causing disputes. On the other hand, there are likely to be arguments.

嗯，务必在这个五月把事儿推动完了。嗯，一旦进入这个未月，嗯，就比较麻烦啊。这个一方面呢，这个合同容易损毁，容易扯皮啊。第二方面容易有口舌。

Client

Zongyuan, the house payment arrived ~~

师傅，房款收到了 ~~

You said it would come in about ten days, but it actually took 8 days. So accurate.

你说十来天就能下款，实际8天，好准的

Zongyuan
