Hi James & Sarah,
What an exciting week it's been in The Shire! Buyer activity is noticeably strong right now, and your property at 1 Hobbiton Lane is generating exactly the kind of interest we want at this stage of the campaign. We've had 14 groups through the open homes over the past two weeks, and the feedback has been consistently positive — particularly around the kitchen renovation and the outdoor entertaining area.
Looking at the broader market, The Shire is holding firm. There are currently 3 competing listings in your price range, but none of them offer the combination of land size, indoor-outdoor flow, and location that yours does. Two properties in the suburb sold in the past 30 days — one at $1,080,000 and one at $1,195,000 — which puts your estimated range right in the sweet spot of where buyers are actively transacting.
Interest rates continue to ease, and we're seeing more pre-approved buyers in the market than we were six months ago. This is creating genuine urgency — particularly for family homes in the $1M–$1.3M range. Your timing is good.
This week I'll be following up personally with the 4 parties who expressed strong interest at the last open home, and we have another 3 private viewings scheduled. I'll be in touch the moment anything significant develops. As always — any questions, just message me.
Peter Devon
