I really love this show !! I know that a lot of people don’t like neutral color, but I think the host is correct, neutral ambient attracts more interest in potential buyers (although personally I love bold color). Anthony’s makeover is always clean and elevate the look 👍🏻
If you love color, do it with accessories or furnishings, not the walls! The walls are the background to enhance your furnishings; you don't want the walls to compete with your stuff.
If this episode was done today, they would have painted the cabinets white...lol
You just told me what I was wondering about, the programme must be old, or else the Canadians must have a huge affinity for brown and beige. And yes, today they would have painted it white. Everything is painted white these days. Apparently, it came from Scandinavia, however, I am Scandinavian myself, and I would say we are much, much more colourful than that...lol
Oh no! I'll bet my living room set will look even more dated. I called it my "Miami Vice" living room. :)
One reason people like “move in ready” homes is because they are scared of the unknowns. Also, moving is stressful and exhausting. Who wants to clean and paint their house to move, only to clean and paint in a new home and unpack? It’s very overwhelming. I’ve done it and cleaned and painted both houses time and time again (we moved a lot). Next house. I will hire all work to be done, home will be professionally cleaned, and then move in. I’m not spoiled and I don’t lack vision, I’m just over it! 😂😂
I will never understand how most people can be so easily manipulated emotionally. A house is the biggest purchase anyone will make. If you can't see past the decor to see the house, you will buy the wrong house for you and pay too much for it. The most ridiculous of all is staging an empty house so it won't give a lonely vibe. I want to see empty houses; it's so much easier to see what I might be buying. It allows the house to "speak" to me. And it can't have hidden flaws; you can see it all.
Your right virginia, When im looking at houses, I never look at the deco, I'm looking at the size only
That’s somewhat true, but it does help you visualize what can actually fit in a room, our house was empty and it kind of slipped my mind to check if we could even put a couch into the living room. We can’t lol.
@@jwilliams8931 There's way more to a house than fitting a couch. Location is the biggest concern, the neighborhood, the schools, the culture, the access to places that interest you for your lifestyle and, of course, cost and interest rates. You can eventually find a sofa/love seat that works.
I have excellent spatial capabilities that I know others don't have so I try to understand that; I am a commercial space planner dealing with furniture sizes all the time. I can draw in freehand a 60" by 30" desk in chalk on the floor anywhere and it will be exact. Also in two different scales with a pencil on paper; exact every time. Folks like you are why I am able to make a living.
@@melzzi4131 I will admit that placing at least one item like a standard rocking chair or bed might be needed to give scale to each room, something that all people know. It's like placing a hammer next to some carpentry error in a close-up photo to give relative size. Couches vary in size so they aren't really helpful. Just a standard ladder back chair in every room would do the trick at a minimum. I just don't see the need to do all this staging except in high end houses and highly competitive markets.
I agree, our 1st house had old furniture the 1st time we saw it. It made the whole house smell musky & outdated. The 2nd time we saw the house, they had put everything in storage & it looked much better.
It's a great house. Needed just a little modernizing.
Those living room windows need two curtain panels each. I think the one panel thing looks unfinished.
What's the obsession with green in every episode? That awful green color, that ugly green cupboard they added in the kitchen. I actually thought most of the changes were so unnecessary.
I have to agree with this. We sold our house and me and the realtor; well, she had some tough love. I've had to "pull teeth'" to get the guy to be willing to update. It is almost impossible to keep with trends; so you try your best. We are not the biggest fan of wire shelving; but if updating on a budget. Windows, furniture, fixtures, lighting and a fresh coat of paint can go a long way. To my surprise (knowing our floors were a mess, it still sold!!!!!!) and we got our asking price. I couldn't believe it.
Hi! The money to upscale may seem like a lot at the time, but when the house sells it’s seems a small and well worth it investment. Take care and be well! Kelly
I think some landscaping in the front would have caught the eyes of prospective buyers first. Just a thought! I really enjoy seeing what changes take place in these homes - thanks!
I wish they wouldn't call old decor "ugly." Yes, it's out of style, but so will today's styles be one of these days.
Ruth, mother/estate agent is such a lovely lady. 😊
Lovely home to start with, many people would be happy with it as it was but if buyers are so picky there I suppose they needed to go the extra mile
I bought my house empty, with shoddy flip work but saw potential. I think people are spoiled who won't buy a house "move in ready" which is code for updated, renovated and new. Puh!! Plus young people these days expect what grandparents have after they've worked 60-70 years for it. It's ridiculous.
I so totally agree, I've always said, what we have in our 50s-60s, kids want now, what will they have to look forward to when they are in their 50s-60s.
So true!
I think this show is about cleaning up - decluttering so that the house appeals rather people focusing on possessions that don’t appeal, because those are the things that draw the eye. Not everybody wants to Reno or do a major clean where hidden issues are covered up.
Depends on how much the renovations will cost. Most people won't want to spend all that money on a house they'll have to spend more on later. Also, time. Quite a few people don't have the time, between work and kids, to work on their house. These are reasonable reasons why not to buy a house that needs work.
@@cathy4697 true. Also, renovations can be expensive. Not everyone is handy.
It's amazing how tastes and preferences have changed in the last (almost) 15 years.
i love this series!!!! share it often suprised it doesnt have a million subscribers
The house she showed them with the wow factor has more ancient looking living room furniture than their house.
The colour throughout remind me of a drink of Milo. Not what I would find high end at all, although I will credit that the design overall is a definite seller.
No matter how good the house looks like I will never buy any of those houses they are so close to the others like you can watch tv from your window into your neighbor window....no privacy
They're also rather ugly from the outside. Close together, similar in appearance, and not very attractive.
It's about location, location, location and schools more than anything else. The area is also for people people who just love, love, love to be near others and socialize, you know, the extroverted kinds. I'm with you, though; no way I'd live like that.
So true.
I would buy the house even without styling. I see it’s potential.
Same. It’s beautiful and only a few years old. All the furniture is leaving anyways. Sadly people don’t have any imagination these days 😂
@Denise Jackson Mm
This has got to be an old show, because this decor is very outdated. And I'm talking about the after.
2008-2011
Turned out beautiful
so many good ideas .... beautiful
Wow, that housing estate was truly awful 😳😟
To be honest I liked it before than the after. The after looks more outdated
$6K seems excessive for no more than was changed.
The two big garage doors overwhelm the home. It’s all you see upon approach. Huge turnoff before I even get inside. Why do builders do that?
Sofie is so classy and beautiful i look forward to watching her. Thank you.
I think it was nice. I realize I would decorate in my own style.
I see in the house she showed them had an even bigger wall unit that she never mentioned.
Exactly! She also never mentioned anything about the ugly green colonial furniture that was worse than theirs, but still sold.
@@d.d.mac.3773 Yup that pea soup colored living room furniture was hideous.
@@d.d.mac.3773 it was beastly
No kidding. That was the first thing I saw.
Living room furniture in comparable home is dreadful.
I liked this one, but why buy that cheap furniture when you can rent?
"Staged" furniture is rented, that's the behind the scenes they don't include on this show...homeowners have to put their belongings in storage.
The rooms are so big *cries in tiny English flat*
😂🤣yep
3 offers in 24 hrs?! Wow
Love Sophie!
I don't know how they found such inexpensive sofas, dining sets, fixtures, and everything else they bought. Even the cheapest of the big-box stores would charge much more. Were those rental prices? And of course it helps to have an army of cheap (or free) labor doing it.
Normally, you have to clean before leaving. But I'd've bought it as it was if offered a deal :) Don't mind DIY, but not if I pay top $ and have to do work in addition. I either pay less and do work or pay as requested, but they do the work.
I need Anthony to come and make me some built INS!!!!!
I absolutely despise these tract neighborhoods. No wonder they want to move.
Like that the real estate lady is helping out.
Would've painted the garage doors.
HOA probably wouldn't allow it.
oh goodness, the house she calls "elite level" has cheap furniture, cheap tiles and everything else is cheap. have they heard of renting furniture? they bought stuff for 6k and behold, ppl who r walking through r commenting on such minor things like shelves in bthrm and curtains...pa...lee..zzz

Wt happens if the house doesnt sell,inspite of refurbishing it
Does Little Dot Studios or another 3rd party pay for the upgrades for these shows and then repaid by the owners when the property sells? I could understand that some homeowners could front the costs, but a lot of them don't seem like they could afford to plop down $5k for an upgrade. How does this all work?
I've been wanting to know this as well.
I'll tell you the problem - $469k for a house - that has laminate countertops in the kitchen.
I will do more landscape in the front
Everybody just expects to see a lawn. That’s the suburbs for you.
$6,000 & it looked worse after 😳
When I see wire shelving I think of cheap!!
The manufacturer may be sponsoring them. Such sponsorship could explain many things done on this channel.
Better than sagging Formica and chipboard or whatever that shelf was
Is this show from the 80's? everything looks so dated, before and after!!
It’s from 2008
@@MonogramistaML Yes I know....just my sense of humour/sarcasm!!
This show just convinced me how stupid people are. To be so impressed by the frame around the mirror and the window coverings just doesn't make sense. Just proves how easily tricked people can be.
She related to Kirstie of Phil and Kirstie?
Any newer episodes?
Yes its called The Unsellables. Same host and style.
It’s too dark
Takes 4 , like FOUR people with 4 rollers to roll paint on ONE small wall ? Give me a break.
Horrible comp house. Green furniture!
Where are the trees? It looks like a desert. Awful place to live.
In the west, the whites prefer carpets. In asian homes, most houses have laminated or parquet for their flooring.
It depends on the climate. This is in Canada, extremely cold in winter, you need carpets.
This lady is not a patch on Kirsty....
She is her sister
Yea I knew this....Kirsty is my favourite tv personality but her sister is not likeable...a poser!!!...🤪
@@saphia7 she is very attractive though and friendly and may I had British lol
She may be good looking but imo dislikable....as in full of herself....she could take a leaf out of lovely Kirstys book....😊
@@saphia7 I think we all agree Kirsty is the best 👍🏻
Anthony is the real talent here, this should be his show. The hostess doesn’t dress professionally (I wouldn’t hire her as an agent), doesn’t make any contribution to the show, the magazine-style flippant, cutesy writing sucks, as does the intro. The after-shots are much too brief to take in what’s been done. I don’t think the upgrades are well-prioritized and I question a lot of the new furnishings. Why put that tiny love seat when a sofa would fit better? It gives the impression that a sofa just wouldn’t fit. That folksy green corner cabinet doesn’t work with the other decor, and I don’t like the light fixtures.
Makeover doesn’t look “classy”.
This is so ugly! Especially the sitting room, and kitchen!
The crowded cold neurochemically supply because april arthroscopically rot since a frightened frightening full fumbling functional offence. glossy, elderly digital
I love this show but her outfits don't really inspire a lot of...trust.
She looks weird and definitely not professional; if women want to be taken seriously, they shouldn’t wear 6-inch heels to view homes, it’s not an evening party.
