“I first looked into Feng Shui about 20 years ago and was very interested in how it can create harmony in your life,” Ms Devitt said.
“When you look out from the formal lounge over the eight hectares of bushland, which will never be built on, it’s very serene because there’s no street directly in front.
“I am excited for the new owners and know they will enjoy it as much as I did.”
After living there for five years and renting it out for nine, Liz is ready to move on.
“I am at a stage in my life where everything happens for a reason, and I’m moving on to the next stage,” she said.
Liz said she is taking a spiritual adventure in Peru, having “trusted the universe to guide her next steps.”
Feng Shui Master Salwa Abboud gave the house her glowing endorsement.
“When I examine a home, I take a reading first,” Ms Salwa said.
“There are three important luck energies and this house has all these elements.”
Ray White Mernda’s John Metaxas shared his interesting sales strategy.
“Prior to listing the property, the vendors asked for my date of birth to determine if I was the right agent to sell it,” he said
Mr Metaxas said he had to follow Feng Shui advice on auction day and stand outside between the flag and letterbox to garner the correct energy.
On the ground, the agent said that the US interest rate cuts were a hot topic with buyers at auctions around Melbourne over the weekend.
And Mr Metaxas predicted if interest rates go down, buyers will have more confidence in the market.
“Well-priced properties are in demand, and buyers typically have a bit of wiggle room during auctions,” he said.
