Buying a house is one of the most important decisions we take in our life with hopes of new dreams, growth, good health, prosperity, new ventures, success, stability, and good-luck. Wholistic Homes, with the help of Vedic vastu knowledge, recommends some suggestions to consider while buying a new house with complete insight on American and Canadian homes with multiple floors layout. It is essential to begin looking at the details on the floor plan starting from the plot of the house, the main entrance of the house to the bedroom direction to the smallest details of locations of each rooms like kitchen, family room, master bedroom, guest room, children's room, laundry room, garage, attic, storage, along with all exit and entry points into the house.
​
-
Firstly, begin with checking the direction of the house mark the main door, garage entry door on the floor plan of the brochure of the house, to verify it as mentioned because in some cases they fall completely in different zones of directions because they are the mirror image of the design as mentioned, this will help in analyzing the best available entrance to be considered.

Wholistic living space, recommends buying a new home since it gives optimum positive benefits with a view to creating your own impressions as on a blank slate.
-
Check the shape of the plot of the house, it should preferably be a square or rectangle. In case of extended shapes or irregular shapes of the plot, try to demarcate the plot into a perfect shape to get the best benefits from the plot.
-
Check the slope of the plot and construction of the house. The constructed house should be well connected to the ground level of the plot. Slopes are beneficial in the plot towards north and east. Slopes towards south should be avoided with the west being the last option.
-
It is very important to know the history of the house before buying a house, check for the reasons for resale of the house if it is possible to check for major medical illness, accidents, major incidents of the previous owners. Ask your realtor to get these details for you if possible.
-
There should be no electric poles with running cables across the street in front of the main door of the house in the yard space.
-
The main entrance door should not be at a T junction of the road, i.e. road ending in front of the house on the main door, it has been observed in case studies with such layout facing depletion of energy in their homes and there are sudden traffic lights creating disturbance inside the house during the night and if that's a busy road it causes nuisances at times.
-
Check for water elements like storm water collection, ponds, lakes around the plot of the house because of hygiene reasons, insects and also there are chances of seepage of water over a long period of time under the house.
-
Having playground and parks near the house mostly creates happy and healthy vibes.
-
Please check the floor plan details of the house as per vastu guidelines rather than just buying east or north facing the house, there is a lot more to it rather than just the facing of the house. Internal placements of rooms, toilet location along with the kitchen gas placement is equally critical while looking at a house plan.
-
Make sure there is no cemetery or funeral home, hospital, worship place nearby within half a mile radius of the house address.
-
Natural sunlight and air circulation in the house are a very important natural factor for cleansing the house energy, try to see for more windows on east and north with less opening on the west and lastly South. Allow the light to enter the house to heal you and the house.
-
Try to choose a house which has no basements but some states in the USA and Canada it is mandatory, in which case it should be in the northeast, east, north but in case of other directions they can be balanced with healing techniques and other rectifications.
-
In the case of a dead tree in the backyard or in front of the house, they should be removed.
-
The backyard should always have a fence as it not only creates a boundary to the property but also adds privacy and security to the home. It creates a boundary for the energy and marks the property limits as well as a restriction for unwanted energy or elements to enter our private space.
-
Choosing the right wall colors is also a very important aspect to consider while selecting paint colors. Best is to have neutral colors in all rooms.
