- Despite a great layout, horribly old and dated décor and a lack of personality means Sofie has got her hands full with this property.

From the Unsellables Season 1, Episode 7. Dana and Mark have only three weeks to sell their completely empty two-storey suburban house… Or they risk losing their new home. The four-bedroom, five-bathroom house features a spacious layout and a few renovated rooms… But it also has hideously dated décor throughout. The contrast is a major turn-off for potential buyers, says Sofie… And so is the complete lack of furniture.
In order to transform the home from drab to fab, Sofie comes up with a $4,400 plan to update the kitchen and bathrooms, breathe new life into the décor, and bring in plenty of furniture to give the rooms a sense of space and function. Mark and Dana are committed from day one… And while Anthony and the team work their magic on the interiors, they learn the basics of real estate from Sofie. The results are fantastic… But will the home sell in time?
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?

Sorry, I don't agree, I think if a house is completely empty that is preferred. That way, potential clients can imagine their things in it and it looks larger.
3:22 Sophie: "It feels so barren and empty..."
Me: "That's because it IS barren and empty."
That painted picture of the woman with her eyes closed, could almost be the host Sofie Allsopp! Both are beautiful! Great work on that house! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
Agree. 😃
Very few changes but more presentable. For around $4000. it was money well spent. Buyers seemed to like it so the minor changes were well received.
I don't mind the empty rooms - sometimes it helps me to imagine my own things being there and you don't get people's stuff distracting you from seeing the room itself. (And that furniture is not going to be there after you've bought it.) The patterned wallpaper and the artwork needs to go, though. I honestly don't know why people keep their artwork up when they are selling their home because it's usually an acquired taste and what you like is likely to differ from what your potential buyer's is.
I haven't seen an episode of this for ages. I used to binge watch them 😂
I do remember this episode
You have to be Kirsty sister dancing like that😅❤
in Germany its normal to sell without furniture. Nobody would like others type of furniture.
I see many houses on line these days that are totally empty where people have already moved out. A house two doors down from me sold the day before the open house and it was totally empty.
the light in the bathroom above the vanity is upside down.
That type of light fixture can be used two ways but facing down is easier for bulb changing and doesn't accumulate dust and bugs.
Did she just say glass doors on a shower are not safe....in what world?
So, people are so unimaginative that they need to see furniture in order to imagine what they could do with the rooms? It seems silly to have to buy furniture to put into a house you are selling? Are people actually buying a fully furnished house?
I think the problem is seeing proportions. Some people like me can imagine something and see how small or big it would be. Some people like my husband can't imagine this at all. If you like to have as many offers as possible you make it easier to imagine for everyone. The ones with imagination are okay seeing the furniture and those who can't can see it in reality. Makes sense to me.
Here in Germany it is not very common to sell a house which is still furnished. People would think, the owner is still living there and it will be a hussle to get him out after the house is bought. And honestly, I would prefer a house which I can renovate with my own style rather then a fully painted with colours and floors which I don't like and will remove anyways.
@@KerstinVomVulkan I remember my first apartment in Germany. I was surprised to find out that the kitchen was completely bare, I rushed to look in the bathroom, thank goodness that that was furnished! 😂
She did mention that they were renting the furniture just for the showing
Yeah, a lot of people truly can't figure out what a room is for unless you furnish it to show them.
They'll see a room with a bed and say "Another bedroom! But I don't want a 2nd bedroom! I want an office room!" Or vice-versa.
They literally cannot fathom that the room will be emptied and they can furnish it however they want. It blows my mind lol.
I have a personal theory that they're confused about rooms in their own homes unless there are signs telling them.
It's why signage decor is so popular.
If the kitchen didn't scream "EAT" at them, they wouldn't know what to do in that room...or where! That's why they need a sign over the table that says "Gather".
They not only need a bed to tell them it's a bedroom; they need a sign telling them the bed is to "Sleep" on. And sometimes nasty signs so they'll know they can do that on the bed too.
The bathroom is a total mystery that needs lots of helpful signs telling them to "Bathe, Shower, Wash Hands, Brush Teeth, Flush Toilet", etc.
It's a good thing they can read.
Omg! Why would you remove the glass doors on the bathtub???? It costs alot of money for those doors today and they are much better than shower curtains.
Glad we saw a bathroom
In tbis one:) love sophies humour
Much improved! Thanks for showing it again. ❤
God, I love these prices!
Love the blue light
I am surprised that 2,800 sq. ft. is "too large for them." What about when you have your children you will need the space then? The brick outside is a real advantage. My husband and I lived most of our adult life in a 2,800 sq. ft house (three bedrooms-one of them my office) and were very comfortable. The problem is not the size its the lack of continuity of style, out of date and mis-matched everything....All you need is a makeover, some furniture and staging.
i mean... that is fairly big, with four bedrooms and two separate sitting rooms, there's a lot of space that's reserved for a "maybe". Who knows if they plan on having kids, and even then, perhaps only one. I could see the house feeling a little empty with just the two of them. Also they mentioned a basement apartment that wasn't shown here.
Sophie is a beautiful host but a terrible designer. Her staging is consistently bland and unappealing.
Yeah, but it isn't an actual design. It's a sort of template for how to use the rooms and the neutral colours are sort of unnoticeable. It would be interesting to see Sophie's own house to see what her personal taste is.
Its way easier to paint over wall paper than removing it. You just should not put too many layers of paint on it.
.....As a former Professional Painter, I advise against doing this,even though it seems " easier " , it isn't a long-term solution. I've removed A LOT of Wallpaper, prior to painting rooms and the finished look is worth that effort , because it just will not be the same " kind of finished look " that removing the Wallpaper will give ... once you examine it closely and the longevity of it is also limited.
@@thevintagebelleWell I am painting for a long time it depends on the structure of the wallpaper and I achived great results ny painting over it.
@katysummer9418 ...That's fine if that's what you do ; I personally don't ( and did not ) ever paint over Wallpaper, because I've had to go in and remove Wallpaper that had been " painted over ," . ... however, if you do that , and you think it works, then it's what you prefer to do. :)
have you ever tried to remove wallpaper that has been painted over 3 times? 😭
@hmsmile1225 ...Thank you , my point exactly...it IS NOT a fun process.
most real estate agencies now have a stock of staging furniture, decor etc for when the homeowner has moved out already or whatever. It can realyy help sell the house even if its a piece of garbage.
me clean and empty is good. maybe achair and table set so i can sit and think.
however, i will not finish looking at house if heavily wall papered or dirty.
A lot of the art is amateur hour stuff and some of it is downright hideous and creepy.
Ugh! I agree.
The painting looks like Sophie.❤
Taking off old wall paper is a hideous job!! Steamer doesn't make it that much easier!!
unfurnished houses sell every single day
I disagree. I think an empty room always looks bigger!
That tree opposite the front door is REALLY bad feng shui. Just sayin'.
So..did it sell?
This program never tells you whether it sold.
@@MsLisautube sometimes it is said at the end
There is NOTHING wrong with this house!! It’s all cosmetic fixes. Here’s what happened;
He went ahead and bought the house wanting to raise a family. He bought it without discussing with her. She’s from the city. She’s hip and trendy. She wanted to stay in the city, and she didn’t want to be a suburban mom popping out kids. She also got weirded out by the thought of sleeping in the same room as his parents. (Or someone passed away in their sleep in one of the bedrooms)- Thus, they’re sleeping in the basement. When there’s no reason to.
She didn’t want it. And she didn’t want to put in the work. It’s probably too far from where the rest of her life is taking place. Frankly I don’t see them even lasting as a couple. That’s my two cents in the first five minutes of watching the chemistry with the two of them together.
Wow, you should be doing some psychiatric counselling on the side. I think you figured it out right away. Oh, the bad karma in the bedrooms! By ''the city,'' I assume they mean New York?
@ccmarcum I think most of the episodes were in Canada? This episode is from 2008. Btw, I love @fourlittlebirds6166's excellent analysis! ❤
@@ccmarcum I think the mean “Toronto”, but either way, same idea.
This is absolutely what I thought, he’s selling his family home he grew up on because she wants to downsize? So I guess she never wants kids and he obviously did. They are on different pages! They should have just rented upstairs and lived downstairs until they needed the space.
i said the same.. SHE didnt like HIS big home.
Why would you not clear ice from your driveway? Lazy!
So it didn't sell, it seems? Only episode that I've watched that does not have 'the result'.
Just a thought: What if you used an AI Program and showed images of each room as it MIGHT be furnished!? Lots cheaper than all that work, and you can have several alternatives.
This programme was recorded in the early 2000s I believe
Empty house is better but they wouldn’t have a show
So where's the tv?
imagine it.
