Hi everyone, Steve Lowe here from Agent Team Real Estate, and I'm excited to share the story behind the successful sale of 227 Osburn Drive in Macgregor, a sale that really highlights why experience and strategy matter, especially when the market throws you a curveball. This one took a little longer than we'd normally achieve, but it was absolutely worth it. Early in the campaign, we received a pre-auction offer of $890,000.
It was a strong early offer, but based on the interest we had and our understanding of the suburb, we felt confident we could do better, so we advised our sellers to hold firm. When the auction campaign didn't perform the way we expected, we made a strategic call, a switch to an offers-over campaign, and that pivot made all the difference. It brought new energy, new buyers, and ultimately the right competition.
Yes, it took an extra 20 days, but the final result was worth it. $???,???, a full $???,??? above the early offer. Our sellers were thrilled, and it was a great example of how the right strategy and the right time delivers the right outcome.
If you're a homeowner in the area, this is a reminder that experience counts. Market conditions shift, buyer behavior changes, and the best results come from adapting quickly and confidently. That's exactly what we do.
