I was evaluating to buy an apartment. It has flats which faces the main internal courtyard with pool and garden view. It also has external facing flats which doesn't provide garden view but has good natural view.

I see flats with internal courtyard view getting sold out earlier despite having inferior layouts to external facing units. In fact lower floors like 2nd 3rd 4th are getting sold earlier than 8th, 9th and 10th of external facing apartments. It doesn't make sense to me as I feel layout and floor is very important for a flat in the long term.

Why is this preference there for garden/ pool facing units? Is there a resale angle to it? Or am I missing something?

I have never bought an apartment before, so would like to understand.
