House poor with more space than she needs, Kristina listed her three-storey, three-bedroom detached home three months ago. And although the interiors are immaculate, she hasn’t received a single offer since. Kristina is perplexed…But Sofie says the property’s ramshackle exterior, rusty fixtures, and overgrown hedge are the problem.
In order to appeal to as broad a range of buyers as possible, Sofie comes up with a $3,700 plan to seal the deal. Ready to move on with her life, Kristina is on board from the get go. And as Anthony and the team improve the home’s curb appeal, repair the sunroom, and re-accessorize the interior, Sofie gives Kristina a few quick lessons in real estate.

The interior was beyond perfect; great job by the homeowner.

@marionpeebles3836 3 года назад

Yeah I thought wow! This is a clean uncluttered well put together interior

@ShastaAnn 3 года назад

For the first time ever, I liked EVERYTHING Unsellables did, and I think it's because, other than furniture rearrangement and a dining room table, they didn't really have to do anything inside other than the mudroom. They didn't paint the walls blah colors or paint beautiful natural woodwork white. I REALLY like this finished product. Two thumbs up!! Edit: I do agree with other comments that carpet in a mudroom would be a cleaning problem!!

@chapman1569 3 года назад

Oh my! Sophie has a beautiful dress! She is always so lovely dressed for the reveal, very professional. It is also nice to see a home owner who was sane enough to do a bang on decluttering job.

@michaeltutty1540 3 года назад

The mud room is great to have. Without it, people coming in the back door would be walking directly into the kitchen. In winter, muddy and dirty boots would make it impossible to keep clean. It is also an air lock to keep the outside outside when the back door is open.

@creamofthecrop8286 7 лет назад

The changes made all the difference to a very charming dwelling. However, to have paid three hundred dollars for the mudroom carpeting seems outrageous. Also, tile would have suited a mudroom floor better than that lighter carpeting. Other than that concern the home, as we saw it, would get an A+ from this gal!

@Orphen42O 3 года назад

This house is probably in snowy Ontario. Water-friendly tile would, therefore, make more sense than carpeting.

@jannibal9273 5 лет назад

I know - doesn't make sense. I'm surprised, given that sheet vinyl or vinyl tiles could have been put down for less than $300 I think. And would be easy clean-up and care. Muddy boots and grass on mud room carpet - what was Sofie thinking?

@cathyblackhall3448 4 года назад

Not only that,it seemed incredibly expensive for such a small space and it looked quite cheap!I would continue the dark wood colour but maybe in vinyl or laminate and put a little rug down.Also why paint the front railing black when everything else is grey and cream in the front and back?

@dhoward5757 3 года назад

Awesome house. The property was originally priced at 419 k, they dropped the price to 364 k, that's 55k. I think it didn't sell because it was overpriced to begin with.

@metsarada9787 3 года назад

In 2008 (when this was filmed) then that may have been overpriced for this area of Toronto, but today that would be an absolute steal. 419k in 2020 will get you a bachelor/studio condo, add another 75-125k to get a one bedroom with no parking. A detached house of this size would be a million dollars plus, likely even 1.2-1.3 million. Depressing how fast real estate prices have become unaffordable in Toronto.

@yootoob4516 6 лет назад

Adam did a great job on the exterior. Painting ivory on the window frames upstairs, as well as under the eaves emphasized the shape of the house. Before it was a big brown lump. One cheap way to dress up those railings would have been to cap them with wood and put flower boxes along the porch railings.

@michaeltutty1540 3 года назад

Pretty house before and after. The carpet on the mudroom floor was a huge mistake, and so were the baskets. That wall under the window was perfect for a built in bench with storage for boots under the seat.

@barnabyaprobert5159 3 года назад

I would have rolled on some driveway sealer to make it look brand new. Not expensive, either.

@twilde3754 3 года назад

Looks like upstairs in the second bedroom, the hideous green one, the door was cut down on the bottom. This makes me think that when the floors (they look plastic) were put in they laid them on top of old flooring, rather than ripping them out. I used to watch this like 10 years or so years ago. Decor has certainly changed.

@momof2momof2 6 лет назад

I think the first sample home needs a lot of work too. The way this home owner had her home was just strange. The kitchen was in need of a complete rearrangement, it made no sense.

@laineygann7713 5 лет назад

Yes, I agree. It wasn't as nice as hers and funny that they didn't show but two front areas...

@jannibal9273 3 года назад

The "living room" and empty space that was meant to be a dining room filled only with a chair and ottoman - just a poor overall job of inside decor. The furniture was modern, which isn't my style, but it's the way she had it arranged that made the house look cold and empty - like she was moving out rather than actually living there!

@michaeltutty1540 3 года назад

Cellars usually did not have great headroom. Digging out the floor is costly. Many houses of that vintage had an exterior staircase to the cellar.

@VioletJoy 3 года назад

I'll bet I can get the furnishing for a third of that price on Marketplace and thrift stores. That would leave more money for the seller or for other projects, like vinyl plank flooring in the mud room. Carpet is a no-no.

@dianevessels2632 7 лет назад

I'd probably have just town down the mud room.

@barnabyaprobert5159 3 года назад

The light fixture in the mudroom throws HARSH shadows. I would have picked something softer.

@michaeltutty1540 3 года назад

Using the old type long filament tube bulbs would soften the light. I would have used them in the mud room and on the front verandah

@laineygann7713 5 лет назад

That back room could have been turned into a playroom/storage area. Families need that more than a sunroom

@jannibal9273 6 лет назад

The seller said she's house poor. So why did she buy in the first place if she couldn't afford to own a house? I just don't understand this. Before I made the decision to buy a single family home for myself (also a single woman), I calculated all the costs including checking with friends and families who owned their own homes to find out what their utility costs were, for instance (gas, electricity, quarterly water/sewer charges), as well as investigated homeowners insurance and real estate taxes. It made a difference having a healthy downpayment, but I was 35 when I bought my first home, five years older than this seller who was selling at 30 after owning only a year. I find myself wondering if this young lady ended up regretting her decision.

@laineygann7713 5 лет назад

Don't know, but it could be possible she wasn't single when she moved in: boyfriend, roommate? Now, she's downsizing and going to a smaller place.

@tonibauer2949 5 лет назад

This is a "detached home"? Isn't it attached to the house on the left?

@mapleleaf0 6 лет назад

It sure is close, but you can see a meter attached to the exterior wall of the house on the left, facing the featured property.

@jannibal9273 6 лет назад

No, it's not. If you look at the house next to it, you can barely discern a space between the two - it doesn't look more than a foot wide, but in old neighborhoods in my hometown in SE Wisconsin sometimes the houses were built that close to each other too. Also, "semi-detached" homes generally share the same architectural style even if they are painted different colors and have different landscaping and even windows, closed in porch versus open porch, generally superficial differences but you can tell it is a structure that shares a wall. The house next to the one being sold is quite different in architectural style, age and size.

Hard to believe that cleaning up the front porch got the house sold.

@jannibal9273 3 года назад

It does look MUCH better on the outside, though. Nobody wants to see weeds, uncut too long grass and obviously rusted porch rails and peeling paint. Also, the ratty old light did the house zero favors, especially since it's such a drab and icky/ugly brown on the outside. Cutting the grass, trimming the hedge and cleaning out the weeds, and doing the necessary railing repair work and repainting, installing the new light and painting the front door an attractive and light color brightened up the entire front of the house. If I saw an unkempt house on the outside I'd wonder what was neglected on the inside, I'd probably just go right past it.

@rhymeswith_dungeons2405 Год назад

I love Sofie, but I think her comments towards the homeowner were judgemental and a bit harsh. "Most people don't downsize when they're thirty" and "You've gone about it the wrong way around!" Maybe she didn't mind...but.. Not everyone conforms to a 'traditional' time-line for their life.

No, it is a single family home. It is hard to see, but there IS a space between the home for sale and the house to its left - they do not share a common wall. The space between the lots is not yard, it only looks to be about a foot wide, but in older areas in older cities, both in Canada and here in the states, that isn't uncommon at all.
