- Happy Halloween! To mark this special day, we are going to go back through and look at Canada's scarily OVERPRICED homes... what do you think of them?
Do you think any of these properties were particularly overpriced? 👀
Episodes included:
From Season 2 Episode 9 "Needs To Get Famous": A photographer who wants to travel the world, George is selling his fantastic, five-bedroom Victorian home... But after five months on the market, and 88 viewings, he’s turned down six offers, refuses to have open houses, and insists the price is non-negotiable. The grand property features exquisite period details and an unbeatable downtown location, but with its grubby walls, cigarette-scented interiors, lacklustre rooms, and garish exterior, the home is completely unsellable.
From Season 2 Episode 10 "Big Family, Bigger Price": The close-knit, multi-generational Rocha family has decided to sell their 1,800-square-foot, five-bedroom home and go their separate ways... But after four months, they’ve had only eight showings and not a single offer. Located in a popular neighbourhood just 20 minutes from downtown, the home features a new kitchen and separate basement apartment... But with its oversize furniture, dark and cluttered interiors, dilapidated bathroom, and off-the-charts price tag, the home is completely unsellable.
From Season 2 Episode 11 "Curbed Appeal": In order to spend more time in Mexico with their parents, sisters Esther and Libertad want to sell their four-bedroom bungalow... But after a year on the market with roller coaster pricing and multiple agents, the property is turning buyers off. On the plus side, the home features a partial renovation and basement apartment, all on the edge of an affluent neighbourhood... But with its dowdy kitchen, reams of knickknacks, dull garden, and busy thoroughfare location, the home is completely unsellable.
The Unsellables - After tracking down the most unsightly and ‘unsellable’ listings on the market, The Unsellables team attempts to transform real estate lemons into lemonade. Can the fearless crew get these desperate homeowners to get smart, let go of the past, and prepare for a sale?

Do you think any of these properties were particularly overpriced? 👀
Toronto prices are insane so yes. Relative moved out after Uni because they cannot afford anything bigger than a tiny studio flat and that's not even in the city limits.
Same in the UK !! But I’m sure Sophie already knows this 😊 London and Manchester have gone intergalactic 😮
If they sold then they aren’t overpriced lol accept the market cause no one cares particularly real estate market cares what you think.
It is bad; man!! |/:).
Oh my gosh!! |/:).
The smell of smoke in and of itself is a dealbreaker.
LOL, George decided it was too nice for anyone else, he's staying! LOL
The first one, George's house is amazing - just the bare bones of it is incredible.
It is the spirit of his late mother haunting his sales. 🤣 he inherited it 30 years ago and grew up in it 🤷♀️ should he even be selling this asset to travel? Smartest solution is to rent it out through a property management company. Still have it to retreat to. He isn’t without options.
I live in a beautiful bungalow. It had been empty for a long time and the lady who had once lived here had loved her home. I could sense that.
There was a feeling about the place when I walked in. It was as though it was calling out to be loved again. My husband and I saw beyond the dated decor and the smell of damp ,through sweat and tears we have made this into a sweet lovable home.The old lady who lived here would be proud. I love watching these shows as it inspires me when doing up my home.
The poor ceilings didn’t get painted 😂
George's house has been neglected for decades and as a former smoker who bought a former smokers house- I can tell you if you have wood in the house like flooring or paneling, if the weather changes you can still smell the nicotine after 15 years!!! There are barrier paints, but they are all in white or grey and not in clear, so you loose the wood pattern. If you are a non-smoker- then buy a non smoker house!!!
Sad to see a couple waste real estate money on a wedding. It should go on starting your life together. Put towards your new home
Mind your business
With the house right on a busy road, I'd build a garden wall and install a fountain. Because what noise isn't blocked would be masked by the relaxing sound of water. It would feel safer, too. 😊
Magic wallpaper! It’s anaglypta!
I really like these marathons 🙏🏻
I absolutely loved this makeover.
But still smells like an old ashtray when the windows are closed for 10 minutes 😢
I can't believe they painted George's house that horrible grey! The original brick must have been stunning 😢
George spoilt it in the first place with that bright blue. What else were they supposed to do but cover it up !
The garden lets the house down, it would be nice to have full width access at the back to a landscaped garden.
Tiles should never be painted but replaced.
Lol! I can understand not wanting to do major repairs or recarpet, but I always laugh when potential buyers say that they don't like the colors or the lighting, much less the furniture or art--you don't get to keep that! 😅
I think the leaf curtains should be drawn completely off the window
For the first one, I would think the smoke smell is off putting. I would t want a smoke smelling house in matter how gorgeous or prestigious the location. The two sisters spent 90k for renovations & that didn’t include the kitchen?!
They should have taken the offer. Greed and pride. An unhappy alliance.
I liked George's homes exterior better blue and yellow😢
Anaglypta paper. I love it 😄
I LOVED George's original color...
They need to stop with the Slip Covers ...which look cheap and immediately tell me you trying to hide a Raggedy And/Or Dirty Sofa
They use the slip covers for staging purposes only. 😉
This is a VERY old episode, over a decade old.
Show the kitchen after the upgrades. (First one)
Before recorcking the tub fill the tub at least half way xx
Overpriced? When was this aired? The prices on here are insane but i just looked up current single family home prices in Toronto, and a run down shack is OVER half a million dollars?! 😳 😳😳 Sounds as bad as what I hear homes in California go for. Are these prices the norm in most of Canada? Honestly wondering. Like can you even get a 3 bedroom 2 bath home for under $500k? How do you folks survive? I can imagine that young people just cant even buy a home. I know where i live its hard for young folks just starting out but wow, this blows where i live out of the water. What are apartment rents like?
Rent for one bedroom units in Vancouver go for $2,700 - $3,500 per month. It’s insane.
@nanabuster7285 whoa! Here a 1 bedroom is between $1,300-1,500. Single family (new homes even) homes are starting at 300k in most areas with a huge demand in homes as so many have been flocking to the area I live in but I think home sales are finally starting to slow down some. But homes that just 4 years ago were going for under 200k are now 300k+.
But are the prices in Toronto similar in many other parts of Canada? Are the job salaries high enough for someone especially 20 somethings to afford even an apartment? Those apartment prices far exceed my mortgage payment.
@@grace7701 no there is a lot of people living in tents, trailors, cars now. canada has the most inflated real estate in the world, don't come here if you don't have to. Even suburbs and small towns have unfordable real estate. It's a mess. Keep in mind that this show was shot in 2007. That victorian home can sell easily for 2 million.
Smoking 🚬 smell is hard to get out of a house. No one wants a cigarette smelling house.
I helped my mom clean the wood paneling in our dining room which was my grandma's sitting room in previously. I had grown up thinking they were an amber/burnt honey color..they were BIRCH toned! 😅 TSP worked best for us.
That "magic wallpaper" looks remarkably like anaglypta to me.
Love this show, where can I purchase the stick on dragonflies?
Try art shops or paper specialist shops
normaly people don’t live in a victorian house. People who live in, are stylish by themselves. Better he offers his house without any of that „mobiliar“
I’m surprised they left the yellow ceiling - as he is a smoker that has to be grotty
Dear Sophie - congratulations, you are doing an amazing job ❣️
I do not have a house to sell but I am looking for inspirations making my (rented) apartment more up-to-date. I will retire soon and will have time to declutter. We are living here for more than 20years and my kids have grown up here. When they move out I will have to find a smaller apartment. So I do not want to invest too much. Here in Switzerland a lot of people live in rented apartments. So homestaging might provide inspirations for me.
Would it be possible to get in contact with you and get your advice?
Please show the original date.
2007
I’d buy that house as is. Why can’t people see beyond the decor. You need to look at the bones. Ignore the decor. I love the colour of his house. The most important things in real estate is location, location. location.
It is not cheap to paint a house and that house exterior needs to be painted, for starters.
Did George really sell? Seems like a person who just wanted the attention of the show. Not really sell
Canada??????
