New developments now utilize better insulation and soundproofing materials, making west-facing units more comfortable [5][3] Ongoing Issues with East-facing Units - East-facing units still face persistent issues like water seepage during rainy seasons, leading to dampness and mold on interior walls. This ongoing problem discourages potential buyers from choosing east-facing units [7][3] Conclusion - The combination of price advantages, technological improvements, and unresolved issues with east-facing units has resulted in a shift in buyer preferences, highlighting a new trend in the real estate market where rational decision-making takes precedence over traditional beliefs [7][1]
