- Toni and Gary’s beautiful but boring four-bedroom home has had over 70 showings in two months… And they haven’t received a single offer. Sofie says the spotless and de-cluttered home is in great shape, but it makes a flat first impression. In spite of the home’s competitive price, she says, its lackluster décor, ratty sofas, and missing kitchen table are giving potential buyers the wrong idea.
In order to upgrade the home from builder basic to create the all-important wow factor, Sofie comes up with a $6,000 plan. Desperate to sell, the couple is on board from the start…And as Anthony and the team neutralize the paint colors, and upgrade the lighting, plumbing and closet fixtures, Sofie teaches Toni and Gary how to set the stage for a sale. The results are phenomenal…And within 24 hours, so are the offers…

#Unsellables
Finally, someone who actually cleaned their house before showing it.
Thank you!
Anthony is a cutie pie. And I'm 80 years old, damn that last hormone.
😂🥰
Hey, you're never too old to look!😄
@@cherrybarb4651 I look but I don't lust. That would be creepy.
@@cherrybarb4651 I love CZcams and reading comments. Except for the snarky ones. My kids gave me an iPad and created a monster.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😘
Anthony is so cool. I wish he’d gone with Sophie when she filmed in the States
He’s great. Very enjoyable to watch. Professional and kind.
I felt the same way when Love It Or List It moved from Toronto to North Carolina. I liked the contractor in Toronto Eddie, but I really hated Eric in NC. Eric left the show because he contracted Covid 19 and was on a ventilator, but at least he recovered.
The view along that street and the neighborhood with all the houses basically looking the same - scary!
No green, no trees, no front gardens, endless straight road, nearly no space between the houses - the look of those houses kind of reminded me of soldiers standing next to each other with no individuality.
I wouldn't want to live in this neighborhood ever!
Scary and you might as well live in a condo the houses are so close. and no fences or gardens yuk
Frisco, Texas has neighborhoods just like this. Middle management and professionals in accounting, computers, law, etc. flock to this scarily uniform suburb of Dallas. I would go crazy living in any area like this.
i agree weird looking but its the cars .... and no trees
In my city, new builds are required to plant a tree in the front yard
@@tonibauer2949 - yup, they are becoming ubiquitous in Canada too.
omg, this is my house..its me/us in the video....funny how life has passed by and so much has happened since. I still miss wall unit( no lie!) My x wouldn't let me have it in the next house. My youngest is getting married in May. Mum you and I look younger today I think! I must say also this crew was fab and so kind and wonderful. We were exhausted during and by the end of it. fond memories
I actually liked the before. And impressed with the boys keeping their rooms so clean and unclattered!
Thank you
I love Anthony. ❤️
Inside this house was much better than other houses on this series. The place is clean. Even though the furniture is dated it's not torn or broken. Some people have no imagination. The neighborhood totally blah. I'd never personally live in a house that close to others.
Thank you!
I can’t believe someone won’t buy a house because they don’t like the sofas. They are not buying the sofa. The problem is the neighborhood is not pretty. The houses look like barracks.
I agree - the neighborhood looks horrible. Imagine how much more horrible it will look after it has aged 10 or 20 years.
@@larsedik I don't live there any more but its me in the video and the neighbourhood is fine, close to everything and gets good bucks. We moved to Lorne Park then Kincardine and then our own way.
@@toniquinn3440 I think your house looked great, but what put me off by the neighborhood was that it is a subdivision, and there are way too many houses that look alike - sort of like a modern Levittown. I've never had children, and so that's possibly why it doesn't appeal to me. However, I can easily see what it would be difficult to stand out in a neighborhood like that and convince someone to love your house instead of another almost identical house. If the neighborhood had more trees, it would help, and perhaps it does by now. I would have replaced the round brass door knobs with brushed nickel levers - that's what I did in my house in Palm Springs, but I also renovated the bathrooms, kitchen, and living room. Your kitchen would have looked a lot better if it had not been so brown. Also, all my sinks are undermounted, and I have high end German (Hansgrohe) faucets in both houses. In addition, I have quartz countertops in the kitchens, but those are expensive if you are just going to sell your house.
I have a hard enough time finding my house on my street as it is, and all the houses in my neighborhood in Los Angeles are very individualized. I painted the front of my house SW "Really Teal" to help find it, and I also have a huge agave furcraea macdougalii in the front yard, which is from oaxaca and is the largest agave in the world. Mine it now taller than the house and will reach more than 30 feet high when it blooms, but it takes about 30 years to do that. This plant helps me find my house more than anything else does, and I have plenty of room for it in my front yard. Here's what it will look like when it blooms: pics.davesgarden.com/pics/2018/10/09/Kell/b5f7d5.jpg
Sofie's coat is giving me LIFE!
One of my all time favorite shows! Glad to see it again! Wish he had put glass shelves in the bathroom panel instead of wood so that the newly installed light could illuminate all the way down...oh well, still looks great!
I fully agree with the comments below, it is an ugly bare neighbourhood. I mean they could have at least put trees along the curb sides and colourful flowers and bushes in the gardens or grow a rambling rose up the house front. It just looks like a desolate place.
Well that's new for yOu!
Most people don’t realize that they are competing with new homes where people can choose their own upgrades, and personalize it. A previously owned property needs to look more high end than builder grade models
I can hear that Mum has been in North America for many years, but I stiiiiill detect a little Glaswegian under there!
I love this show
Big, builder-grade, but pretentious houses on tiny, barren lots and they're all the same. Quite depressing.
I'd agree. That soulless street wouldn't do it for me.
The homes are just awful McMansions. They arent design with any kind of class or characteristics. They are designed to be huge.
Literally horrible no character
Finally a before that wasn't dirty or gross.
Thank you!
The example home that sold, had a sofa that was worse than theirs and an old dark cabinet that they had too. The two main things that they said did not look right!??
Yeah I didn't care for their sample house
The example furniture coordinates colors and materials with the house. Just from memory I noticed the plants in the kitchen almost foreshadowed the green living room. The green of the couch went with the walls and the couch wood went with the cabinet. Because of this the furniture blends with the house. Designers also tend to accept a larger presence from higher quantity furniture. Both examples looked higher quality in materials and design. The first couch and cabinet didn't really relate to anything else. Anyone who likes green will love the first house. I have nothing to say about the first couch and cabinet, which means I either missed something or it's just a mediocre choice for this house.
I would think that renting new furniture would be a better option because now they are stuck with new furniture that is not their style at all and may not work in their new house.
You're absolutely right about renting: same with artwork and other staging items. Since they already have their new house, I'd think the staging furniture would be chosen with the new place in mind.
I would have included the new furniture in the sale, as I did with my last home
I thought they liked the new furniture and accessories.The wife said she was taking note of what had been done in order to take the ideas with her and she was thrilled to get rid of the old sofas.
@@cathyblackhall3448 I agree. She said she liked them and was taking ideas. Not everyone has a knack for decorating and just really need help! She obviously left the decor to her husband who loves old worn couches! Lol.
omg I am about to fall over with exhaustion at 22 min, lol
they made us work
Tone down the hockey items in the teenager's room????? This is a home in Canada, removing it was not necessary!!
LOL
There was hardly any clutter in his room, and the items weren’t obvious unless you looked at them!
For sure! Around here people would think it quite odd if a boy's room had NO hockey stuff.
So depressing living in a treeless subdivision with cookie-cutter houses for miles. I would be so depressed looking out my window and seeing concrete and no green. No wonder they wanted to move to an area with more trees and character.
True, we missed trees!
Love the master bedroom size
Lovely home. Lovely upgrades.
Great work! 🏆
Keep in mind that Season 1 was filmed in 2008 and began airing in January 2009. By that time, the US was in a blow-out recession and our real estate market had crashed and burned beginning in 2007.
The lack of trees and all the houses looking the same reminds me of Privit Drive
The comparable house had ghastly living room furniture - some kind of 1940s early American wood and gooseshit green stuff, plus the same - even bigger - 'overwhelming' wall unit in the dining room. So the negatives of Toni and Gary's house are even worse in the comparison house.
I couldn’t believe how obvious that was!
lol
I'd walk in the wrong house!!!😂
$6,0000???? They hardly did anything. I've seen them do much more for less in other homes.
Any house with high ceilings costs a ton to paint or do light fixtures or anything. Seriously the cost is ridiculous
Wow, great window - straight into the neighbor's house.
As a rule you need to update your house every 7-9 years, enjoy it, live in it, and when the time comes to sell you are not spending money for someone else to come and enjoy it.
We spent about $1000 on the house at the beginning of each year. One year we took out a giant dirty tree. Another
year we had the wood floors refinished. Another year we put ceiling fans in and painted. This year we bought
matching rugs for the living room and dining room. That way the house always looks pretty good, and you are not
faced with so many needed repairs/costs at one time.
8:37 that poor fish :(
It's the banjo in the corner! No two ways about it. Scares off families in droves!
lol
All I could think of, while watching this, is what I had to go thru to sell my last home. I wonder if the Mom agent accepted her commission, or did she gift it back to them? This is a great show, so happy its on You Tube
lol, yes we pd. Mum helped us out when we were kids! I do believe we got a special fee.
Excellent
I want Tony to renovate my box.
Love the living room & bathroom, kitchens okay, again white cupboards would look better & brighter
Hell those couches could be reupholstered for the cost of new one. Put some updated fabric on them and they’d look stylish and updated.
I know they don’t have time for that in the show but it’s just a thought.
First thing I said was, SLIPCOVERS! Would have been perfect on those old couches.
Anne Caulder she normally does that, not sure why she didn’t in this episode
I like the changes, but two things I always do to homes when showing: remove popcorn ceilings and put lighting under the cabinets. Probably the single best piece of advice in this episode: upgrade "builder basic."
It’s the neighborhood, not the house. $6000 was an unnecessary expense in a house that was already immaculate.
hate the browns!One color I did not allow in our new house!We went with cool grays!with aqua accents!
lol, thisis 2008 , 15 years ago, grey is a trend, neutrals are forever
The worst thing in this house was the kitchen :( Too big, too bulky, too dark. I would have removed the part that separated it from the rest of the room (the part with the sink) to open the kitchen up or at least give this part a nice facing (? is that the right word? yes I used a dictionary for that one^^). The mix of materials (differnt colors, diffent woods) they had there after the modifications didn't help at all.
If you remove the peninsula, not only do you lose the sink, but you lose countertop workspace and cabinets - not a good idea at all. As it is now, the work triangle (sink/fridge/stove) is very small, making the kitchen very efficient - at least for one person. I hate excessively large kitchens, and I don't want anyone in my kitchen when I am cooking - they just get in the way. With the peninsula as it is, one can still converse with people not in the kitchen, and there can be good separation.
I do hate the colors in the kitchen, and it does look very cheap. The towel on the oven door handle should be removed before showing the house - it looks sloppy and says that there is no proper storage for kitchen towels. There should be a towel rack inside the cabinet door below the sink.
Who buys a house before selling their current house? Insanity.
I think all Canadians are rich. Based on all these shows. 🤣😂
@@Ella_sera we were not rich
What's with the black coat and big white buttons?
Good job but intrusive music at the showings.
When is this show coming back on tv
For 6,000 I'd have revamped the kitchen first
Remember when houses wouldn't sell in I think it was detroit and people were giving away trips to Hawaii if bought a house?
Why isn't the closet wall painted BEFORE installing the hardware?? 🤔
Are the sellers giving away the furniture? what does it have to do with the structure for sale?
2008
now they dont care'
I don't think my house sings to people, either. This episode is kind of depressing.
We're calling love seats couches now, who started that trend? They needed to changed the toilet it looked dingy and outdated, and that bed needed a headboard to bump up design in the bedroom.
That's been going on for awhile now. I believe this season is from 2007 or 2008; about the same time the U.S. real estate market crashed real estate markets in other countries also suffered a bit, although Canada's rebounded relatively quickly. Prices had screamed out of control, especially in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver - just nuts what was selling for a million. I'm not sure what this family spent $6,000 on, though. The paint made the biggest difference. The accessories were so so, and the furniture purchased ("sofa," dining table and chairs and kitchen table and chairs) didn't top more than $1500; the light fixtures were also rather "blah" - the lowest common denominator I felt. Well, at least the house sold, which was what they wanted. Funny how wanted to move to a "neighborhood" and then ended up in a new build that essentially looked like a high end slum. Those houses SO close together - no landscaping at all - that open "common" area in the back - no privacy. YUCK!
"the light fixtures were also rather "blah": I completely agree: "blah" exactly describes what was purchased and the overall finished effect. It looked like a cut rate model house.
lol, head board was in the plan but we ran out of time
toilet was 3 years old, lol new house
Eh..No wow factor in the after either. The only room that looks a lot better is the bathroom.
its a tv show, we did get above list after the show
The sides of these houses seem to get no sunlight
Why have 2 dining table and chairs? They could've put the big dining set near the kitchen and used the empty area for tv watching
trees? what Trees?... New yes.. too close together.. no trees
yep why we moved to a heavy treed area after that
They didn't show all the rooms...
Whenever they say I don't know why it hasn't sold, it means it's too cluttered.
Nah it was not cluttered. I am was always particular but I did have young ones at the time!
RUSH did a song about neighborhoods like this.... 10 points if you can name it...!
kitchen back splash is not good enough for the house.
step up inside the house 02:41 w e i r d . . . i suppose they are trying to make the basements better....07:20 there's shabby sheik and then there's just shabby
Did they really make the home owners take ALL the clothing out of the closet???
They do that on Love It or List It. After Hillary updates a closet, she only hangs three shirts and two pairs of pants, as if that is all that someone owns.
At that price point, I'd expect something better than cheap carpet upstairs and those big-box .98 cent tiles on the kitchen floor and in the bathroom.
lol, those homes are 1.6 million now!
I like this show and I've learned a lot But in that bathroom the painting under the shelves looked like I did it, not professional at all. I think tastes have changes drastically in 2 years since this came out, that "contemporary vibe" is not what is selling houses these days.
this is 2008
She absolutely cannot walk or stand comfortably in those shoes.
The kitchen's awful and small for a house of its size. That new sofa is boring. I'd Have got a longer, more stylish one in a lovely contemporary colour, making it a feature. But an oatmeal 2-seater? Meh.
I love this show, but, have to say that this one was disappointing. The decor is bland as before.
They kept saying they wanted to wow factor but what they really wanted was something more upscale
This is only the 2nd episode I've seen, but the host wearing her heels on the beautiful polished wood floors just irks me.
Would you feel better if the owner wore heels?
Does anybody know what city and neighborhood this is? Thanks!
I believe the city is Hamilton, Ontario, circa 2009-ish. The neighbourhood I don’t know as I’m from the other side of Canada 🇨🇦 but I do know that I would never, ever live here! Zero privacy, zero trees and zero appeal.
@@sharong8511 The highway sign was for the 407 and indicated that Hamilton was nearby ... my guess is Burlington. There were a lot of subdivisions going up along the 403 around the time this show was filmed.
@@sharong8511 I was the owner it is near erin mills town center
Cookie cutter zero lot line homes. No character way too linear for my taste. I love warm trees and homes that look different
#Solar paneled homes sell quicker and for more money.
I can't believe they setup a hockey goal in the street!
They do this in every neighbourrhood in Canada. Just like they do with basketball in the US. A player yells "car" when one comes along and they clear the street.
David Trigueiro playing hockey and basket ball in a street is dangerous period! sounds like you are making up an excuse to justify bad behavior. Ever heard of playing sports in a safe place or would you rather a person get hit by a drunk driver, police chase or thrill seeker?
u need to live
Matt Occhipinti You need to use common sense, reasoning, intelligence and learn how to spell. Ever heard of a park or would you rather someone get hit by a car playing in the street?
you don't get hit by a car smh its called moving the net and your body when a car comes
I cant understand mothing this woman is saying where is she from
boring!
I'm pretty sure this is in Mississauga Ontario. Pretty much Brampton and Mississauga look like these cookie cutter houses.
I was thinking Burlington (the 407 sign indicating Hamilton down the way). But you're right, a lot of these cookie cutter subdivisions have popped up all along the 403.
@@04beni04 it is in Missauga by Erin Mills town center
Neiborhood? That is a stretch of vocabulary. They need more space than 4 bedrooms? Nothing is making sense. I think they hate where this hoyse is licated.
Horrible horrible interiors.
YUK YUK Yuk is this a 90´s show.
it went from bland and boring to bland and boring
mulligatawny soup. This is around 2009.
So easy to make homes look great and they really didn´t. I guess in 2009 the norm was bland wall colours but even then there was cool design around. There was nothing cool about these designs.
colette s I was around ten years ago and what they do in this show wouln´t have been great then either. A lot of it is... simply too ....beige.
So do you know any interior makeover shows that actually have good taste?
Why paint over that gorgeous yellow in the master bedroom and the soothing blue in the boy's bedroom? Just match the new linens and decor to those colors! Green is a color I avoid at all costs; Sophie uses it in every house. YUCK!
TheRozylass must have been the style at the time. A wall in my kitchen is green. I assume it was painted around 2008, long before I moved in.
This house and neighborhood looks like low income urban housing in the US.
lol.. try 1.6 million right now
Tony the builder/designer is great but Sophie Allsopp is weird in a not good way. She has no personality and her body language and dress is confusing for this program: I’m avoiding being too direct!
Every single house shown in this show is disgusting before and after.... vom....
The misandry is real in this episode.
Blue Aqua the presenter is bitchy.
Blue Aqua I agree, I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was amiss with the presenter. You have it spot on. I find her quite distasteful and the way the show projects her is highly questionable.
The filming is inacceptable - the change of the pictures has been done so fast - one gets dizzy soon. And with a little bit of common sense there is no need of a selling consultant....(Her coat is awful, by the way, no taste, no style). The living room in the "model house" is totally repelling. And how closely the houses are standing from each other - horrid.
She loves the "cub'ert"? You mean closet, love?
I believe she is British. In one episode, she called the stove a "cooker".
closet refers to the W.C. Cupboard (cubbard) refers to cabinets and closets.
