What’s Happening in the Bovey Tracey Property Market?
Set on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, Bovey Tracey is one of Devon’s most desirable small towns. Known for its characterful cottages, artisan shops, and strong community feel, it’s no wonder that demand for homes in the area continues to grow.
In recent months, we’ve seen increased interest from buyers relocating from larger towns and cities, drawn by Bovey’s balance of countryside living and commuter convenience.
With Newton Abbot just 15 minutes away and Exeter within easy reach, the town offers an ideal base for professionals and families alike.
As mortgage rates begin to ease in 2025, confidence is returning to the market. While pricing remains competitive, properties in Bovey Tracey that are well-presented and priced correctly are still selling quickly and achieving strong offers – especially those near local schools, green spaces, or the town centre.

Top Tips for Selling Your Home in Bovey Tracey
If you’re preparing to sell your property in Bovey Tracey, here are five top tips from the team at Complete Property to help you stand out:
- Highlight What Makes Your Home Unique: Buyers in Bovey Tracey often look for charm, character and location. Whether it’s original features, views of the moor, or a tucked-away garden, make sure your agent understands and showcases your property’s most desirable features.
- Prepare for Photography: High-quality images make a huge difference online. Before your property is photographed, tidy up outside spaces, declutter living areas, and let in as much natural light as possible. A clean and welcoming home creates a lasting first impression.
- Understand Your Market: Homes in Bovey Tracey appeal to a wide range of buyers – from downsizers and young families to second home hunters. Understanding your property’s appeal will help your agent market it effectively to the right audience.
- Be Realistic with Pricing: Overpricing can delay your sale and reduce interest. A local valuation from a trusted estate agent ensures you launch with a price that reflects the current market – attracting serious buyers from day one.
- Choose the Right Agent: Local knowledge is key. At Complete Property, we’ve helped many Bovey Tracey homeowners navigate the sales process and secure successful outcomes. Our proactive, personalised approach ensures your property gets the attention it deserves.
