Different floors in the same building don't just sell at different price points — they sell on different timelines too. The reason comes down to something most buyers never think about: floor preference isn't universal.
Some buyers want height. A higher floor means a better view and more natural light, and for a certain kind of buyer, that's worth paying a premium for.
Others actively want a lower floor. It might be vertigo somewhere in the family, or simply wanting to be closer to an amenity inside the building — a pool, a fountain, the garden — that only a lower floor gives you easy access to.
There's no universal "best floor" in a building — only the floor that's best for what a specific buyer actually values. That's exactly why identical flats a few floors apart don't move at the same price or the same speed, even in the same building, even with identical specs on paper.
If you're buying, the useful question isn't "which floor is objectively best" — it's what you're actually optimizing for: the view, the light, or the ease of access. Know that answer first, and the floor choice gets a lot simpler.
