Should the City Allow Arcadia Residents to Change Street Numbers?

A few years ago, changing your address was easy for Arcadia residents – a few pieces of paperwork, a fee of about $500, and it was done. You could even change which street your house belonged on if your house was on a corner, if your home met the right conditions. Now, residents aren’t allowed to change street numbers because it creates too much burden and confusion for city officials who maintain many of their records, many that date back a few decades, using street addresses.

So why do residents care about numbers and street names? In today’s Arcadia real estate market, many of today’s buyers are foreign or immigrate buyers who either are coming directly from or originate from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. In these cultures, numbers play a significant role, specifically the number 4 which in most Chinese dialects, sounds like death, and 8, which sounds like prosperity. In fact, many buildings in these areas don’t have a 4th floor for this reason.

The reason residents care is that having an unfavorable number may affect resale value. With the importance of numbers being so deeply rooted in these cultures, the street number becomes part of the decision making process for these buyers, who are often the most qualified and quite often pay for homes with cash. And anytime you lose any buyer, for any reason, you lose an opportunity to attract the best possible price for your home.

But it doesn’t just affect the owners of these homes ending in the number 4. If a home down the street from you recently sold for less because of the number, an appraiser, who’s not trained to account for this fluctuation in value, may incorrectly assume that property is equal to your home, and may appraise your home for lower.

And the problem doesn’t just occur for buyers purchasing from these backgrounds. Certain numbers in American culture also have a stigma, like the number 666. Homes with this number are hard to sell for the exact same reason.

Currently, the city is evaluating a proposed solution and looking into the true cost of actually doing the street address change and if they decide to pass it, may allow homeowners to take on this expense for the city to perform the change. According to some estimates, the cost of changing the number could be as much as $2500, which in a community where most homes range from $700,000 to $2,000,000, may be a small price to pay for a chance to sell to the pickiest buyer with the highest offer.
