- Shannon and Stewart’s baby-centric two-storey home faces a sprawling city park…But after three weeks on the market, they still haven’t received a single offer. Sofie immediately knows what’s wrong…Outside, the verandah is full of junk, and the home’s interior beauty is obscured by oversize furniture, a home office in the dining room, and a tidal wave of baby accessories.
In order to best showcase the family’s home, Sofie comes up with a $3,800 plan. The couple is willing to get on board from the start…And after a major purge, Anthony and the team get to work on neutralizing the décor, building a bench for the verandah, and creating a designated home office space. Sofie gives Shannon and Stewart a lesson in real estate do’s and don’ts…And urges them to be more flexible in opening their home for viewings.

Unsellables - Shannon and Stewart - Season 1 - Episode 12
#Unsellables
I miss when DIY shows were like this - smaller. more realistic, and focused on REAL homeowners with SMALL budgets.
Small budget? Almost half a million dollars is not a small budget! That's a rich person's budget! Who has that kind of money?
The budget was $3800 for fix up. They are not talking about the home value.
I’ve found some TH-camrs who do smaller scale decor stuff. Favorites of mine are The Sorry Girls, Lone Fox, and DIY Danie
@@bonniemacpherson3407 they are talking about the reno budget. Under $4k.
I love how kind she is, she tells truth but in a nice way, like at the beginning of the video when they first walked in and notice the pile of rubbish all she said was 'A bit of a Mess Guys' instead of 'That is Disgusting'.
its english like.
found the old listing - it was up between april 28th and may 23rd 2008. it seems like this couple must have applied for the show even before trying to sell bc that is a relatively quick sell, especially for being right at christie pitts
Right? The show would need notice. Not sure how it works.
Fbi agent over here
Adding flowers to the flower boxes is a nice touch. The house has very little curb appeal, and the flowers brightened
things up.
So....now there is a baby room, a parent room, a teenage daughter room AND a nice office space. So why are they going to move at all? Put back some of your bohemian decoration and stay put, it's a nice house and a great neighborhood.
Nancy Daly
I was thinking the same. It's big. But they cluter n hoard shits.
Thank you! Exactly what I thought!
Literally all the stuff is kicking them out!
They aren’t even trying to tidy up!
I’d be mortified if my home was going to recorded and shown to the world in that condition 😱🤮🤯
@@elviragomez5703 people just enjoying thier home living in it
@@alisonbarratt3772 You can do both at the same time enjoy your home and being hygienic, their is nothing wrong with being clean and organized and you enjoy your space so much more. As this couple, they are living in a cluttered home and they obviously aren’t enjoying nothing about that 🤷♀️
It's amazing to me that homeowners can't figure out that they need to declutter before showing their home. It's basic commen sense.
"commen" sense? lol. irony overload.
is it just me or did all that clutter look a little strategically placed?
Common sense is a flower that does not grow in every garden.
WickedCats 😂
Common* sense. Why are you making them wrong for this? You don’t know until you know. Let go of the judgements. You’ve got your own blind spots
That baby is too adorable, I can see why they invested SO MUCH on him! But they have to have some self control.
Dead plants in the window box, these guys were NOT EVEN TRYING.
T Nicholas exactly!
LOL!!!! Your comment is so very true and made me really laugh out loud.
My parents house was like that and it was cluttered far worse. After each viewing we did declutter more. But even with our first viewing they were interested. We got it reappraised after we decluttered and did a few improvements. Value bumped up and it sold within 2 weeks.
We were downsizing and threw out alot of stuff. All my stuff fitted in a small van. The buyers had like 5 huge truck loads. I was surprised they could fit it all in. It was a divorced woman and kids, she was obviously super downsizing.
I really like this house and what they did with it. I don't see why this family needed a larger home. After it was decluttered, it was perfect for them.
colette s LMBO why did you reply the same stuff on every comment that says they feel like it is a good amount of space for a fan of 4? Why do you care so much as to express your disagreement with every one of those different commenters.....? 😂
@@lookingforsanjunipero4542 bc they can 😂😂😂
Sometimes i move cuz u hate the neighbor, or neighborhood,or dont lukw lack of flow in house or never could get rid of mice
@@alisonbarratt3772 Also to get into better school, or bc you want a shorter/better commute to work or be closer to commercial areas that you like (ie, "location, location, location")
And they didn't mention the basement! Second set of stairs running down under the main set so there must have been something down there.
Such a beautiful family! They’re all heart. Beautiful home, too. I love the mother’s taste and bohemian style. The baby is completely precious.
House is not too small. They just have too much crap.
Yes, they have too much clutter. Waaaay too much. In five years they will be featured on Hoarders.
I agree. 60% of that baby stuff was probably unnecessary. The baby's stuff took up a bedroom, the living room and the office; that was WAY too much.
@@synthiamcbride7194 If it was their first child I could understand it, but as little lad was an afterthought you'd have thought they would have learnt that you don't need all that expensive (even if second hand) stuff.
I was thinking the same thing
Honestly, the house really doesn’t look bad to begin with, minus the porch, in comparison to other homes on the show. They just needed to declutter. It’s a beautiful house.
Then again, I guess some homebuyers like a more neutral palette to look at when viewing a home 🤷🏽♀️.
What a precious family! The home was so improved with the makeover. I would NOT want to leave! LOL One thing, though, that baby did NOT need all that they had purchased for him or to use in caring for him. What a cutie he is! God bless that family!
This house is more than large enough, esp with the unseen basement.
Mrs. Garcia I don’t know, the two small bedrooms are really tiny and I can see raising two teens in them being tough. Big enough to fit 4 people, but not necessarily comfortably. (And who knows, maybe they plan to have another kid at some point.)
There were three bedrooms.
Erica Freeman
Try living in apartment. Lol. Unappreciative ppl...
Mrs. Garcia Exactly; but they need more space to fill with more crap.
Why all the baby stuff nowadays?!
When I was a baby we had crib, high chair, stroller/bassinet/car seat combo, toilet seat adapter and teething toy. That's all a baby this young needs.
European here, and no, it's not a house for 4. now what?
The house could accommodate them . downsize and organize . Clean up 🙄 a bigger house will end up being that way too .
Exactly!!!
Oh give me a break, that is an absolutely beautiful house.
Ran across this video by chance and really enjoyed it. I felt emotional for this young couple. If only we could all have a smart and impressive British lady show our homes.
I think 4 people could easily live in the house if they decluttered it a bit.
I loved the couples antiques, artwork and collectables!
They just have to much stuff. A yard sale would have helped them. The house is big enough for a family of 4.
And it wouldn't have cost $3600. Although the repainting makes a difference too.
If I was a customer looking at that house I'd know it was a lovely house that could easily be made the way I want it! Surely people aren't so easily distracted by surface clutter!?
Really lack of bedroom space. not for a family of 4.
Daniel aruzuaga: well, it could've worked. one bedroom for the parents, one for the older child, one for the baby. Easy peasey. Rethink the rest, and for goodness' sake, dejunk!
@@wayneloveday4716 I think some people just get turned off, or overwhelmed looking at someone else's cluttered place, and try to imagine themselves in there.
The man looks like a young Steven King...😨
The house has been on the market three weeks and there hasn't been any offers......Give me a break...what planet are they living on? Sometimes house don't sell overnight.
Depends on the market really! Homes in DFW are selling that quickly so 3 weeks on market would be bad with no offers
Our house was on the market for four years before it finally sold.
I live in Denver and there was a bidding war on the first day. I only waited a week for the top bid to come in.
I had an offer before it was officially on the market with my house. Buyers agent in the same office as my agent.
Yoo toob: So much depends on the market... but if you had a bidding war on the first day, you under priced your house.
Ms Long Hair __ Feel smart? If you got an offer before it went on the market, why did you list it? You could have saved the realtor's fee.
I have never understood why people cannot see the house without being distracted with someone else's décor. I fell in love with this house as soon as she did the first walk-through. It was, "I love it! I'd change this and this and this." In fact that is exactly how I felt when I bought my current home. And over the years I have lovingly changed, "this and this and this!" Most of the do-overs to make the homes more "sellable" to me just ruin them. Wrong color paint, wrong furniture, wrong accessories. So it would still be, "I love this house! I'll change this and this and this!" Only now I would be paying someone to change something that I will have to change again. A fixer-upper means you can make it yours, not try to fit into someone else's idea of beauty.
I agree with this. Every place I've ever gotten I've told the realtor "there is nothing sadder than a house with character that's been HGTVed to death please give me something horrible with wood paneling and outdated linoleum and I'll do the rest". I don't want to pay extra for someone's renovation when I'll be undoing everything they did in the first place.
My last realtor finally explained to me that most people want to just move in without changing anything though which is why I guess these houses are appealing. But man I do not understand it. Half the fun for me is making it the way I like and doing the projects.
Darling cluttered house to begin with. I understand the necessity of changing to sell, but I hope they decorated their new home in their charming style. ( minus the clutter)
Did she just call the baby "monster" ? Lol omg that was so wrong 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Why? It's a common form of endearment for children in the UK
I guess some people aren't good at decluttering and decorating. These make me feel good about myself (looks around smugly)
This show should be called : "how to change a dynamic/vibrant/full of personnality house into a a tasteless-catalog-type-overseen house.".
I am sure you have to declutter a little, remove some items so that the visitors can feel confortable enough to imagine themselves in the house (and not in your house), but..change the entire master bedroom into this tasteless-blank-grey room ??? They are not selling an hotel. They is their actual house.
Plus, as a buyer myself, and doing some visits to house, I always appreciate the ones that are "alive": it makes me realise how the houses are in "living and daily" conditions.
Some people like that look. I know I do. It's about taste.
They do need to use more color in the decor. I realize this show ran from '08 to '13, and that it wasn't until 2010 that they started using more vibrant colors in these types of shows, so I give them leeway for the earlier shows.
Uhh this isn't a renovation show, this is to get houses sold.
i loved all the art in this house.
So thankful for my 3 story huge foursquare in Kansas that we paid $90k for
Woah 😮 Thats insane!!
How's the location tho? Is it a fun place to live?
"People don't buy bohemian." 🙄 My how times change...
They have a hoarding problem, not a space one. It won't matter how big a house they buy next.
Yesss!
they have an utterly beautiful home with gorgeous old real furniture.
Ikr
Wonderful house really. I would not want to sell after the changes if it was mine. I would definitely stay :)
They just need less bulky furniture. This is perfect for 4. I love their house
This is a good show.
I like that they are not stingy with sharing their knowledge and i have actually learned so much by just a couple episodes. I really appreciate how they use the home owners already existing real estate agent as well. They help everyone in the process.. while working too of course.. but not so "Give me money to speak. Give me money to move. Bash. Bash. Point and laugh. Push other aside" type a feel that a lot stupid shows have.
It's a good show.
This is one of my favorite houses
LOVE that storage bench on the front porch! Brilliant idea, storage, comfort and it looks great!
please I'm obsessed with the contractor guy just making random furniture ahfgsggd
I never understand people who can’t see past paint color etc. to see the potential in space
$460K? Four hundred and sixty thousand freaking dollars? For that?!!! Y’all living in the wrong area. That’s rigoddamndiculous.
What a lovely family! They have some great art and treasures, but it’s a great example of how less is more. You Cana cut ally see their treasures when there is room to breathe.
Wow! The house is really beautiful! I'm so glad they repainted the front storm door too.
My parents needed 2 years to sell their house and it was a lovely big house in a great area... also this is def. Big enough for 4 people!
Thanks for the uploads! Just found this show...with all the Love it or List it and House Hunters I watch...I can’t believe this show hasn’t shown up on my page before!
I like this show...it is not obnoxious like so many shows with non-stop, annoying, unnecessary music while people are talking...or a narrator making cute comments or explaining the obvious. It is easy to tell this was Kirstie Allsopp from Location Location Location’s sister! They look so much alike.....
Ashlyn M agreed☺️ a show that used to be on called “buy me” was so great too! its funny how much we can miss tv shows
Remove the tv? I understand it's not ideal to have it as a focal point but most usually look to see where they can put it.
I think this was referring to the one in the bedroom.
omigosh i miss this show so much !! and that orher older show ‘buy me’ ...miss that one too so much! there was something about the narrator of that show too! the memories-i hate change!!😏🤔
I do like what she did with this house. The end result is very livable and very pleasant. That type of bay window in the dining room and middle bedroom is quite common in houses of that vintage with the house next door so close. The lot is likely no more than 20 feet wide, so not a lot to work with. Off street parking, via the laneway that runs behind these houses on the East side of Shaw Avenue really adds value. There may be space to park two cars back there.
If I was the teenage daughter, I would have been like.. "dude where's all my shit?!"
But they had a basement tho.
3 weeks? Jesus! some impatient people here!
I think she is great wish I her talent!
Our house took 4 years to sell...
If the price goes up more than 4000, you've got profit
In Canada, houses sell very fast, within days usually. Especially, in the Toronto area.
Max Paping Absolutely, but the point is that most people don't have $4000 laying around, *and* to use on something where you have NO idea if you'll break even, or lose every bit of it.
The home is definitely large enough for a family of four and with a park across the street, it's perfect. IMO, they should remain there and enjoy the renovations.
What a beautiful difference.
House price is eye-watering.
Thanks for posting loved it
Gorgeous transformation!👍
Baby Oliver is a Cutie-Pie!
Wow! Absolutely beautiful!
“They wanna renovate Bohemian” (stern face)
I don't know why she said that because new homeowners want to 'customize' regardless of the previous owner's style.
Every baby and kid needs their own private amusement park and the contents of Toys 'r Us now. This is one case where it really is impossible to see all the great features this house has.
Hasn't anyone told this Real Estate Agent "Tables are for Glasses, not Asses". After tgese sellers spent $500- on the dining set and another $500- on paint... yeah, be a little more respectful please!
The house is clean, neat and beautifully furnished and decorated.
Why didn't they show us the basement? There are steps leading to a lower level?
It's probably not finished. Old houses have can have ugly basements.
Shari B
They threw everything in the basement, so now they're hoarders 😆
@colette s Wrong. They never show the rooms they chose not to do. For example, they haven't shown us one bathroom in this house. Perhaps that is the reason it's not selling, but we'll never know. The basement staircase is open to the main level, so that means there's not a shut off/door to the basement. Perfect place for a teenager, or an office, etc. Who knows?
@@yesiownfrodo My previous house had a staircase down to the basement, but had a landing and door, so the basement was closed off. Maybe there's could be too. But as others have said, this family seems like they have too much stuff. Why waste the space in the basement? I'd have worked on it (bit by bit, if money was an issue) and get more liveable space out of the house.
@@yesiownfrodo Yes, but it's obvious there must be at least one bathroom, and in the same way in some houses they tell us it's four bedrooms but we only see the master one because that's the only one they are going to upgrade.
At the start this house is described as 2 stories so having a third floor which isn't mentioned at all is weird. Surely the house wouldn't have been built with another staircase going down if there was nothing at all there for it to go down to. If you look at the outside front, there are steps up and the ground floor is well above ground level. This is just like my sister's house with a basement in Canada where the top metre or so is above ground and there are narrow windows at almost ceiling level.
Who misses the bohemian chandelier in the master bedroom? 🙋♀️
I feel like some of you are issuing the point of the show. It's not an interior design show where they come in to decorate for president existing family's taste. It's a show about selling houses. A lot of the time buyers don't want to see a house with a bun h of stuff every where. The space shouldn't look too lived in. So by clearing out some of the stuff and having the bare minimum it gives the buyers an idea on what the actual house looks like, which is what they are buying in the first. They are not buying your style ideas but the house so they need better views of the house's dimensions. A buyer comes looks at place based on how they would design it and a lot of that can't be realized with family's existing style pretty much everywhere.
“This horrible process” lmfao the owners face
I'd like to know the original air date. That computer is over 10 years old.
dated 2008 towards the end....
The weirdest thing is that they had a modern flat monitor still in the office space...
That guy had three computers
This house is big enough for 4 people, wtf?
Huge house for only 4 of them
Yes, imagine if the basement was fixed up and made into liveable space? They'd have been much more comfortable, probably.
Love the house relooked and the girl presenting clear effective .
This couple has fabulous taste. But they also have way too much stuff. Great job Sophie and Anthony on a beautiful remodel 👍🏼
They have a lot of lovely things, but it looks as if they panicked with baby stuff. There is a middle road between this and stuffing the kid in a bureau drawer.
Excellent makeover. Neat.
Simple rules of things to do before putting your house on the market: 1) Clean the house 2) Declutter the house 3) Clean the house again. 4) Repair any cosmetic damage 5) Have each room's decor simple and solid to make it look bigger and cohesive 6) Make sure the house is clean.
Yeah, but if everyone did it right on their own we wouldn't have half the shows on HGTV!
love this show
our house was for sale for a couple of years WAY bigger and cheaper..
They should have just painted all the walls white and have a yard sale. Then they could have stayed there.
I also refuse to believe that that bench cost $420...
The prices they showed adds up to $1870..where is the rest? ($1930) what is the actual price per room? why the hell would i remove a computer or tv?
wtf people still have a CRT monitor? Is this from 20 years ago?
Their $$$ is tied up in their mortgage payments. Note that they don't have large area rugs--small rugs covering some of the floors. Another hint that they don't have a lot of extra cash. The life of working for yourself.
I haven't had a CRT monitor for at least 15 years - flat monitors don't have to cost a lot. Same with the TV - those things don't even work any more in much of the world.
Yes. This is a old show that use to be on HGTV.
yes this show used to be on like 10 yrs ago i think
This show is from about 10 years ago.
There is nothing wrong with this house. Any normal buyer could see beyond the stuff. Are people really so stupid that they cannot see beyond other people's living arrangements?
My house was clean, pretty, nicely furnished, but done to my somewhat bohemian taste. I listened to my realtor and updated, put away things.
I managed to sell my house and make a little money during the worst time to sell real estate a few years back. A lot of people I knew just couldn’t do so. Many prospective buyers have zero imagination and vision.
The thing is, clutter can hide a multitude of sins. I bought a charming cottage 7 years ago and what was beyond the clutter cost a lot of money to correct. I bought it because of the location and generous lot, but I would have negotiated a lot harder about the selling price if I'd known.
finally a comment to contrast all the "people who have messes in their house are god's incompetent mistakes" comments
$460k for a First time Home Buyer? Basically 1/2 a House? Our Housing Market and Economy is a Crime!
A $450k starter house? WTF!?
In Toronto, yeah, even a decade ago. I lived off of Spadina at the turn of the century, and remember looking at a "fixer upper" that needed serious work and only had 3 bedrooms if you squinted hard. The bidding war _started_ at CAD $750,000.
Anthony, oh Anthony, where art thou?
Can you imagine someone seeing all the stuff outside and asking and you having a garage sale
The house looks beautiful (it had great bones), but I love the transformation of the mudroom.
It turned out really well. I thought they would want to stay at the end;)
That office was big enough to be an office and convertible guest bedroom.
Porch looks like something on hoarders
The presenter must be Kirstie Allsopp's sister, she is a younger version of her but looks so like her. I love Kirstie and her sister seems nice too x
She is her sister. A quick Wikipedia search shows Kirsty has a sister called Sofie!
@@JulieWallis1963 Wow that was from 3 years ago! Yes I've seen Sophie on Kirstie's Christmas crafts shows since then x
It looks like plenty of space
Glad this one sold! Some episodes are like, “This house has been on the market for 4 days and hasn’t sold. Now we’ve done some renovations and it still hasn’t sold but it looks nicer.” 😂
This house is beautiful!!
Wonder if after the makeover anything regretted wanting to sell? I know one guy wouldn't ever come off his asking price but he was that way before they did a makeover.
Three weeks? If you include the time from the application for the show to shooting it's barely been on the market at all!
And yes it's cluttered with baby stuff. It's big enough for four people especially as long as one is a toddler who doesn't really need that much space.
So far the ONLY ppl with beautiful rugs, style, art, etc. All that was removed. Lol.
460 THOUSAND dollars?!?!?! WTH? It has zero space between houses, no front yard, almost no back yard, on a fairly busy street. I didn't see much in the way of storage, like closets and such. Is there a basement? What is the condition of that and the attic. What about the heating system, plumbing, the condition of the roof? All these things count when buying a house. The house it's self has some nice features, but jeeze, for that much money, I would want some decent land all the way around the house with a garage.
Also, 3 weeks is not a very long time for a house to be on the market. Some linger on for years.
Man, it really pained me to see that guy drill big fat screws right into the wainscoting on the porch! I would have made the benches free standing so as not to destroy the original wood work!
Urban real estate is just that way.
The house looks much better after, and really feels like it's somewhere in New England
The house they looked at has nobody living in it.
I miss this show!
Me too!
Fantastic
so mary anne couldn't say ''hey your house is a mess clean up so i can take pictures''
Right?
This house has a really nice layout, they spent way too much money.
They didn't have too buy a dining room set for $590, they already had a table, just buy a nice table cloth and they already had chairs, if the chairs was not in good shape just paint them or cover them.
The teenagers room was already decorated cute, no need to
completely redecorate the room, just minimize the things in her room and repaint.
Those beautiful valuable old tribal rugs! Out & replaced with Wal-Mart nylon rugs. Lol
First thought, "Wow, the size of that CRT monitor, what decade is this show from?!" Second thought, "Oh, nope there's a normal flat LED monitor, WTF dude why are you using a 90s monitor?!" =D
It is from 2008 I think. So the CRT monitor is still old, but not quite as much.
