  • With more home than she can afford, 31-year-old business analyst Simone is desperate to sell her semi-detached, three-bedroom house… But after six months on the market and over 100 viewings, she hasn’t received a single offer.
    Why couldn't this property sell, even after 100 viewings?
    The Unsellables - Season 2 Episode 2 "House Trapped": The home offers a great location and plenty of potential… But with its avalanche of shoes, never-used kitchen, overstuffed living room, and barren walls and bedrooms, the property is charm-free and completely unsellable.
    In order to appeal to first-time homebuyers, Sofie comes up with a dramatic design geared to make the interiors look loved and lived in. And, while Anthony and the team paint, build storage solutions, and swap the living and dining areas, Sofie shows Simone how important a first impression can be.
    The Unsellables - Can a slick makeover and big sales campaign help desperate homeowners sell their ‘unsellable’ homes? Packed with practical advice and tips to add real value to your house, this bold series hosted by Sofie Allsopp, shows viewers how to transform unwanted properties into unstoppable homes.

      $20,000 over the asking price!!! The big lesson, after she made structural and appliance upgrades, is finding and placing furniture that fits an open floor-plan. She basically closed off the space with too much old and un-matching furniture and shoes. It looked like a garage sale in there.

    It astounds me that most people can’t see the potential in houses. I didn’t see much wrong with the house to start with (not the colour I would’ve chosen but that’s an easy fix). But in saying that, we bought a house that wasn’t officially on the market yet because the owners hadn’t had the chance to tidy up and get it ready for photos. The agent just knew it was what we were looking for and asked the owners if they were ok with us going through. They were but apologised for the mess (kids stuff everywhere, but we have kids so we get it 😂). We were able to look past the clutter and see its potential. We haven’t settled yet, but I’m so pumped to get in and paint it, replace carpets, etc.

    Simone saying its not my style...that doesnt matter because she is selling the house and what she should be interested in is what buyers want not what she wants...she can do her style in the next house...having said that what is her style because currently the house she owns has no style whatsoever! When selling a house you have to think of the house you own as not being your home anymore it will be someone else's home and you have to discard the house from your mind all while dressing it to sell!

    Perhaps if she bought less shoes she would have had money for paintings and vases. I'm sure there was a Goodwill in her city where you can get some good things cheap. She also seemed surprised that 5 sofa's in that tiny space was excessive. She didn't like the house with the country furniture because it was not her style. I'm not sure what her "style" is based on the stuff she owned. It's a good thing she finally sold the home. I bet her condo won't look any better.

    • @comealongcomealong4480
      @comealongcomealong4480 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @VampireNavari I'm guessing it's related to the "bargain asking price of $419k". Inspections may have looked past the poor room flow and unappealing presentation if, say, it had been listed at $380k. But buyers, like the two ladies towards the end, stepped inside with expectations at $419k - and her house fell short. This was an interesting show - to see a first home buyer, and how she did not fully understand her own needs and lifestyle when buying a home.

    The real estate agent said, "Flow of energy..." What?! Tell me how good the roof is, and when the floors were done; I don't care about energy--unless he's talking about a short in the electrical system! I really wish I was in the market for a home, since I can see potential in all these houses, that the agents and buyers apparently can't. If you're put off by the owner's furniture and shoes, you might not be ready to own a home.
    For me, the biggest downside of this one, was the "semi-detached." It's a duplex, which means you better have good neighbors on the other side of that shared wall, or your life will be miserable. I also wonder if that yard they were talking in, was the back yard of the house. There's a LOT of work back there! I'd have done the front with fresh flowers in the beds, and maybe a patio glider.

    • @Erintii
      @Erintii 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Unfortunately buyers care about "flow of energy" and "vibes". For me it makes no sense either. As for me semi-detached is not a problem at all as for me at least deal breaker is car dependence so will always choose condo, townhouse or semi-detached in a city. But again it's all about preferences whereas good bones of a house are not about negotiation.

    • @cariwaldick4898

      @@Erintii I wonder if buyers understand, all those pretty furnishings and decorations go with the seller. When they get the house, they'll have the boring, empty box--that they turned down before the four thousand dollars spent on decor.
      The carpentry is worth the money, as is the backsplash. But....everything else belongs to the seller, and it goes. I'd rather offer that 4k as an incentive to a buyer, to put their own personal touches on the home.
      Most of these homes would show/sell, if the owner would just clean, repair, and de-clutter. Rent a storage unit for everything but what you can't live without. Keep it company ready.
