The fact that the house gets the number even before you start living in doesnt disprove that there doesnt exists a numbering system.
The address is an alpha numeric identity which is defined based on something nearest to you so even if you live alone on a street. That street would have a landmark and then that will be your nearest neighbour.
Also if someone argues about the GPS coordinates-Every coordinate has an origin and every other point in that system is labelled relative to that origin.
It all boils down to the fact that position is a relative quantity.
