- With its purple walls, flashy disco accents, and nightclub-themed interiors, Jessica and Brandon completely overhauled their sprawling Toronto townhouse. While the funky renovations seemed like a good idea at the time, the property is now completely unsellable. Neighboring properties in the same complex typically sell in just a few days, but after six months on the market the couple hasn’t had a single offer and they’re starting to panic. Property expert Sofie Allsopp explains the home’s radical décor is like real estate poison and then unveils her plan for a dramatic family-friendly makeover that’s guaranteed to seal the deal.

#Unsellables
I like the fact that the wife let him do the whole makeover! She is soo supportive because she knew he really wanted to try his hand at decorating and renovation. I think he learned a lot.😥
Why on earth did the wife have no input...like a light room somewhere!
It's not horrible overall for a young couple maybe not thinking of having kids. Too personal tho. Paint is our friend!!!!!
I love the fact that the woman coming in will not make any changes after this. Making changes in house after we bought is so 1800s.
I hope he learned to hire a decorator. He just isn’t talented in that area whatsoever.
Brandon should work on film and drama set design in Hollywood. It looked like a Game of Thrones brothel. LOL
When Ava is 16 and she's gone all Goth we'll know why.
Considering she's 11 years old now---this is from 2009---it's highly unlikely that "Goth" will be a thing when she's 16---and her Dad said he didn't want her to have any memories of the house, which is why they were (ostensibly) moving.
HappyDays.....Ha Ha.
@@jb6712 Goth is still very much a thing, and there's plenty of Gothic-inspired aesthetics popular with teens at the moment.
House interior at start: (designed for young, fun, punk-rocker/alternative couples)
Producer for the initial open-house: "Send in the grannies!"
Me, who would enjoy living in the black and purple: -_-
Why wouldn't you make a green wall though?
Looks like the house in Beetlejuice.
That was exactly what I first thought of when I saw that dining room
That lamp in the bedroom is an exceptionally expensive lamp. Chihuly designed these originally even buying knock offs on eBay cost $750 and up. My sister has a frosted white one in her entry way. It’s really stunning.
I thought I recognized that style.
Yes Chihuly is amazing. I hope the show didn't run off with it. 🤔
Agree totally!! I'd take it down just to be able to take it with me and not have to leave it when the house sold. It's AMAZING.
@@yesiownfrodo I just check eBay there is a Chihuly chandelier listed for one and ahalf million dollars. The crazy thing is the man was blind for a good part of his later life so while it may be signed it was definitely made by his interns and mentees. I’ve wanted one for so long so does my sister but neither one of us really have a house that has ceilings you can put the chandelier in when she lived in Chicago she had an entryway it would’ve been perfect in
It’s hilarious how both owners seem to equally hate their own house 😂
The husband actually seems embarrassed at the thought the baby might find out about the house. I think another young couple might love it. So far seniors seem to be the only ones looking at it.
WOW, this was a great makeover. I so agree that living in a one level home is SO much easier. I love my house. No dragging groceries up stairs, no carrying laundry up and down stairs, it's fabulous. They made a great choice.
What a lovely couple. The guy i think is so happy to finally have a family. So touching to see him kind of freaked out by his own work. 💗
Regardless of decor the house is stunning. Very young and hip. I would move in even with all this furniture. Even though this show is old these people had nice style
they said the area was young and trendy but the only people to go see it were older. some marketing issues I feel.
I thought in fact the disco ball was spectacular and fitting for a big room.On close up it may not present so well but I dont think it was hideous in the least
@@JulieChave46 Yup. 'This house is clearly designed and oriented for young and fun people, so let's bring in the Boomers to justify our insatiable thirst for gentrification!'
The music is horrendous. Why is it competing with the host as she's speaking?! At the very least, turn it down.
They think they are filming a drama with BGM.
The one redeeming feature of the purple color is that the wife looks amazing with that background color! Her eyes and skin tone are vibrant with the purple 🤣
I noticed this, too.
@@devika2527 Same here!
😄 You're right! The husband knew what he was doing
Watching this in 2020 they were ahead of their time add some led rope lights and every TikTok creator will come running
💯
After Game of Thrones launched in 2011, the couple would have been able to sell this house for top dollar. I tmay not be period Goth, but it is modern Goth.
“Vampire Bachelor pad” sums it up. Too much black but pretty after reno 👍
No such thing as too much black. 🧛♀️
Fav episode of The Unsellables ever lol!! You would think this guy decorated his house 100% with Prince in mind!! lol Home staging is NOT optional people! ;)
Brandon as staging the house for a Gothic movie production.
Love this show disappoints that we don't find out if it sold or not
Yeah sometimes they do sell and then it is mentioned. Rare but it does happen.
seriously if buyers can't walk through a room without picturing a different color on the walls I don't know how they've managed this far
I'm sure they can picture it. The turnoff is the incredible amount of work and money it would take, after paying three-quarters of a million dollars.
Ok, he was able to do all that to turn a light townhouse into an extreme dark, night club down to the details but now he can't put the same effort to undo all he did? Doesn't make sense other than he didn't want to.
Makes perfect sense when you apply simple logic.
Maybe the aspect that he now has a newborn baby does play a role?
None of these homeowners actually made any sense when you get right down to it, but that's the point of the show, otherwise shows like this wouldn't be so popular. In fact, we need more shows like "Unsellables" and "Sell This House" that teach people how to clean up and stage their homes rather than "Property Brothers" that now routinely have budgets well over $50,000! Some people don't pay $50K for their first home, for pete's sake -- but in any event $5,000 is more than most people can afford for "getting the house ready for sale" too, let alone $50K to $100K. HGTV is trying for the millionaire/billionaire viewers, but they don't watch HGTV, LOL! This older show is more realistic about what most people's homes are actually like.
@@mikaelb.2070 Yep life changes. Tastes change. Goals change. He just went through a change. Good for him for trying and learning.
Still seemed dark even after the reno - less so, but still dark.
What a big improvement, but honestly I think I would have painted the trim white. It still seems pretty dark with all the dark trim.
Agreed! It’s still too dark!
@@daynad8104 Same! I couldn't figure out why they kept that ugly dark trim, except it was cheaper and faster to keep it.
I would need a double dose of mood elevators if I work up in that house.
Black and purple my favorite colors loved the house.
Got $725,000?
@@sherunswithscissors One day my friend....one day!
Omg me too
I loved the 'before' house. Kept thing the crib reminded me of Rosemary's Baby.
I love the disco ball!
I actually like the black trim and lighting. In fact, the lighting was incredible. The wallpaper wasn't bad at all. but the fireplace wasn't...cool at all. Since they are selling, its not about them but others.
This house was obviously gorgeous but mainly needed new paint and disco decor gone. Just beautiful and the couple were so nice about making the change. Having a child can even change our taste!
"I'm talking and screwing at the same time"
That takes talent!
I did smirk 🙃
I reckon the whole crew giggled at that one
Looks like a vampire & witch brothel somewhere in New Orleans.
LOL On point!
You live in it one way, and sell it another. This show should be called "Clueless Sellers" Why are they using patio chirs in a dining room ?? Ugly fireplace before and after.
I agree about the fireplace and patio chairs. Sophie could have rented four dining chairs.
As a goth, I’d totally purchase this house the way they had it
Not a goth but I woudl paint the some of purple a light gray and some a light cream/tan. Minimal work and effort. Big change.
It's spectacular!
It was perfect.
I actually liked the lighting without the dark walls, it could work. What a patient wife.
Dude broke the chandelier! What does this show have against interesting lighting? Do they have a huge warehouse full of ugly drum lamps that they liquidated? Damn!
Sadly, the fact is that interesting lighting is 99.9% of the time going to discourage a buyer rather than encourage one. Interesting to some, ugly to others (I liked some of the lighting in this place, but some of it was awful). I always wish we could see where someone went and bought something after it got neutralized, and come back to find it super unique again and even funnier would be to see similar fixtures to what had to be swapped out to do the neutralizing.
Yes they do - ikea! 🇨🇦
So you painted everything purple and black and it's too dark for a baby? So put it back how it was. Doesn't take a rocket scientist.
I really think the MAIN issue is all those stairs getting in and out of the house while carrying a stroller and diaper bag and your own stuff.
@@MorganHazelwood I suspect so. But I have to agree with the first commenter; it's not THAT damn hard to repaint everything.
@@AlexandraLynch1 And if you can't do it yourself, hire someone. This place would have me wondering where Dracula was.
"How much paint would this take"? one visitor says. Not just how much paint, but how much work!
Even their agent was telling them to neutralize and lighten the colors. I don’t understand how sellers don’t get this and just do what is necessary before they put the house on the market.
Love it. It proofs people do change - - - men can change.
Doors, trims, stairs needs to be a light color still! Lots of buyers won’t buy because it’s too much headache and paint is not cheap to paint all of those things!
Makes me think all the “renter friendly” decorating ideas apply across the board- even if you dont have a Landlord to charge you for a change, you have your own equity to charge you to put it back when you sell or rent it out.
Thank you for uploading this episode.
I liked this makeover. The flow f the house was always good and kitchen was modern and clean to start with. I hope they got top dollar.
Where's Anthony???????
Let their comments be genuine, it’s always colorful & interesting conversations. Let them be natural.
This host is so cute. I wish she used a variety of colors when decorating. The show uses the same wall colors over and over (from show to show).
Neutral colors.
I just wish the decorators would stop using that 'massive amounts of pillows' routine on every sofa, chair and bed. They end up on the floor every night. Are you supposed to spend half your day rearranging them and finding a place for them? It's silly.
This house was fab in its original condition. I would probably have painted it a different color, but it's obviously well maintained. But, I understand that when selling a home, everything needs to be as neutral as possible.
This house looks like count draculas house with a disco twist. OMG with was he thinking when he did this or was he out of his mind?! The transformation is amazing. "Becoming a safety hazard" well yeah, than get to work and undo. If it's not safe for you than it's not safe for the next family looking for a house to buy.
He was living in his showbiz universe.
Are they having raves in that house on the weekends? It’s decorated for it!
I s2g this is at least the third family on this show with a daughter named Ava. I get that it's a common name nowadays, but that's a lot of Avas for one show.
This house is hideous, could serve as a set of a remake for Rosemary’s Baby ;)
I wouldn't be surprised if they had rented the house out to a movie studio, for a horror movie.
I kind of liked it better before ? 🤣 but I get that neutral colors appeal to more people
Looks Incredible!
Cool episode!! I actually liked his choice of light fixtures!! Not the disco ball one tho! LOL. I think the home came out beautiful!! :))
i love the light fixtures.
The red light was really interesting!
It’s like the house Barney grew up in.
I thought the before was pretty awesome! Cool couple! The host saying that it was not "appropriate" for a baby is just ridiculous.
Yeah, the "not being appropriate for kids" thing was just dumb. Kids adapt to their surroundings. I saw nothing unsafe about their house. If it's a matter of it being too dark, just repaint in a lighter shade.
The parents didn't think it was appropriate for their child. They said it was time for a change because of the baby.
Loved it before and after!
I loved their home except for the purple and disco lights. The changes do look good 😌. Beautiful baby 👶. X
She's 11 years old now---show is from 2009.
I liked it before but I could understand why it would not sell. Much more appealing to the masses now.
sellers dropped acid before decorating
Why the heck would you take a brand new beautiful home and spend tons of $$$'s to make it look like a seedy downtown vamp club????
I know, I'm sure they spent thousands, if not tens of thousands. Yuck.
The guy at the end talking about the house had his shirt inside out! Funny the people didn’t tell him about that and reshoot the take! Blessings and Peace ❤️✝️
Chances are, the shirt had some kind of logo or copywrited image on it. Rather than blur it out, they just have people wear it inside out.
Little Eva kee9s her eyes colosed wisely 😂
If the price was right, homebuyers could have overlooked the dreadful decor and redecorated to their own taste. This was basically a great house. The fact the house still has not received offers is puzzling.
the season one was thousand times better
He forgot the LED lights when he was doing his "nightclub".
I love the purple and black color scheme, but If I wanted beige, I’d trot my granny ass down to the hardware store and buy this cool new thing called “paint”
Didi not like the head board. But what did hey do to the other two bedrooms?
I just don't understand why the homeowners did this to their home. They agree upon first meeting Sophie that the decorating they did is horrible? Hmm
I like the before maybe paint the walls a lighter color and change the strange lighting. However the house is clean and well maintained. Usually the sellers are dirty grubby hoarder types
I don’t understand why, if they knew the issues, they did not go ahead, and repaint it themselves? It might not have been on the market for as long, if they’d have gone ahead, and repainted it. 🤷🏼♀️🙄🤦🏼♀️
Honestly i love this house!!!
I had to fast forward through the initial tour of the house cause I couldn't stand looking at it even through the screen, I can't imagine how it felt to actually be inside of it
Yes, it was horrible. And that disco ball, wow! Some people just can't decorate.
Purple & Black reminds me of funeral parlors , not disco 😆
I like the dining light fixture.
He went with a VIP section strip club theme.
LMAO
Those wicker chairs are a fail. They belong outside
I like the black trim...white trim is baze and shows scuff marks on the base boards.
I have owned six properties, some rentals, BUT have never considered any of them my "forever home,." I make decorating choices with an eye toward eventually listing it or renting. A lot of time and money wasted on "Dracula the Drag-Queen" decor. At least the kitchen was fairly middle-of-the-road.
Nightclub? More like Nightmare .
I'm surprised she used oversized, recumbent patio chairs at the dining table.
Those are not necessarily patio chairs. Wicker is not only for outdoors anyway.
The place looks like a nice place to visit and party hardy in, but... takes a special sort to call it home.
That first comp house is gorgeous!
I really like it
Why move? Redecorate and stay. It's a beautiful home.
Seems like the stairs are a challenge with the baby
I'm a 71 year old Woman and I loved the Dark Disco vibe! But, I can understand why it didn't sell. Those of us who like things a little different are a small population
The music is execrable. Does nothing to enhance the point of the show.
Nice couple
I do love the light fixtures, just not the disco ball.
It was a dark house. It is a dark house. No wallpaper and bright colours fix the less windows.
Now they really don't need to sell. The house is plenty big enough for this small family.
I like that shade of pink
Not sure but think the Bee Gees lived here and thought I saw John Travolta over in the corner singing Staying Alive. But it could have been the Bat Cave as there was a bat signal coming out. The question Sofie didn't ask was: "What were you thinking?" If they knew it was hideous and garish, why did they do it?
The after looks livable. Before was hideous. The layout of the house is a killer. There are 4 levels, which is exhausting.
He used a lot of imagination, and the house did not look cheap or childish. I liked it with the black and purple, but today's buyers continue to be oblivious to changes they can make themselves. The ones who make me want to slap them are the plastic housewives looking at million-dollar properties and whine "I really don't like that light fixture." Like a chandelier is a deal-breaker? How do these people get through an average day of Problem-solving.
I am as far from Goth as I could be, but I could live in that house. I ordinarily don't like black much either. But it feels cozy to me except for the ceiling lights. I would change those but otherwise, purple is my favorite color.
Sorry but the bed head in the main bedroom looked naff, like a failed crafty idea
Looks better, but hate all that black woodwork...I wouldn't buy that house. The husband really ruined the place.
I love it b4 they changed it...
Why in the world did she not stop him?
Why did they still keep the louvered windows shut in daylight? No framed wallpaper here! I don't think they gave the cost of the reno--bet it was a lot. I wonder what Brits who were former fans of Unsellables program think about Canadian and American South homes?
I have seen this woman walk thru clutter, DIY nightmare , dog smelly, smoke ridden homes and be less insulting than she was to these people. I mean I get that it doesn’t work for buyers but you can be straightforward and not insulting.
Agreed
It’s a cool space just not generic enough to sell
Personally I would have to paint all the black trim white.
A Night at the Roxbury
People who like purple like it a LOT.
