With three properties between them, Mary Lou and Frank are desperate to sell their picturesque two-bedroom, Arts and Crafts home…But after three months on the market, they’ve had only four visits and not a single offer. Sofie says the property has great potential and lots of original features…But the high price, dog-scratched cupboards, and over-the-top paint colors are turning buyers away.
In order to appeal to couples and young families, Sofie comes up with a $4,600 plan to revamp the property and relaunch the listing. Mary Lou and Frank are on board from the word go. And as Anthony and the team create a built-in office space and neutralize the paint colors, Sofie gives the couple some much-needed pointers in real estate 101.

@teddy9770 6 лет назад

I'm stunned by how quickly houses are selling over there, so much so that people are freaking out if they don't get an offer within a week. Here in Germany it's completely normal for houses to stay on the market for many months and even years. If houses sell within days that means that people are apparently taking very little time considering their decision. I can't imagine that with us. I think it's due to the fact that we still have that mentality of buying a house being a once-in-a-lifetime decision. It's a bit like getting married. When we buy a house we're planning on dying in it. Of course sometimes it absolutely doesn't work out and you have to move again, but generally buying and selling a home are quite hard on us. We do want to buy a house at some point in our lives, but we take our sweet time with it. We also would not be put off by a house that needs a bit or even quite a lot of work done to it. Home owners around here wouldn't dream of renovating or redecorating a house to make it sellable. People are aware that every object will need some kind of work. Noone expects a house to be ready for moving in immediately.

@shirleypena4133 6 лет назад

+Teddy 97 A few years ago I watched a BBC documentary about family life in Germany called 'Make Me a German' and it stated that the vast majority of Germans don't buy homes; instead they rent. I own my home and everything you have said echos how I feel about buying/selling a home.

@blawlor100 6 лет назад

Teddy, right now in the Spring of 2018, the American Real Estate market is exploding. I am seeing homes being sold in less than 2 weeks. Must be all kinds of pent up demand. They say remodeling will be ”off the charts” this year, too. Every Kitchen Remodeling company is looking for experienced Kitchen Designers!

@francescadantonio1173 6 лет назад

I live in Italy....I perfectly understand it!! But I guess different mentality and different culture it explains why they really do get frustrated if they don't sell within a month!!

@Irene-gq4jr 5 лет назад

Here in the UK it seems everyone, particularly younger, first-time buyers, expect everything to be perfect and for them a starter home must have two or three bedrooms. The main reason those of us who have these homes have them at all without a crippling 35-year mortgage is because we started with a one-bedroom flat and worked our way up, prepared to put the work in to improve the property.

@tonygroves5526 3 года назад

@@missprimproper1022 The reason that many of these buyers want to move so quickly is mentioned at the beginning. They are carrying two or in this case, three mortgages. When the market moves so quickly, if you don't buy the home you want, it will be gone! My husband and I just bought our first home. It took us 3.5 years to find it, BUT we don't live in the big city. As well, we didn't have a home to sell first. The longest mortgage possible is 25 years here, and our government has brought in measures to make it far more difficult to buy a home, in an effort to slow the market. As for our restaurants, for the most part, we are trying to get food on our lunch hour, or while on our way someplace, so we expect quick service. Our travel times are very long because we are a very big country. My brother's commute to work is over a one hour drive one way. No, we don't have public transit any where but our largest cities. I'm speaking about Canada in this case.

Absolutely saw one yesterday where she complained about the green paint in the living room and she said it reminded her of cabbage that had been cooked for too long. Guess what?

@dominiqueritchey6795 3 года назад

There are a lot of factors. Maybe she's "showing" and needs something to say. Or, perhaps the furniture styles, or quality of material was a factor. It's seriously hard to see in a video how it is in real life. The differences in house style, and market segment make a difference as well. The year as well.. You have to know what people want at the moment.

@agatanakonieczny2213 3 года назад

The are not exactly the same cabinets. I am sure she can see clearly the quality/look of them and then decide which ones need to be painted and which can stay.

@Greylan 3 года назад

I think it depends on the "style" of house, Like for the craftsman or country type house you might expect oak cabinetry, but in a more modern home it might feel abit too out of place. It also may be tied into the particular market's or location each individual house falls in.

I think she is good with colors in the sense that all the colors suited the rooms. The probem lies elsewhere. By going with so many different colors almost everyone is going to find something they don't like and since she went so bold they are going to really dislike it. I think if she was instructed to restrain the color palate and perhaps provide some relief from boldness she would have delivered. Assumming she could restrain herself.

If it's a real Arts & Craft, which it is, there's specific colors identified with it, Sage and ochre would be more in sync with the home than what's done. these colors just don't 'go' either -- even if they're toned down, The show was tone-deaf/uninformed of should have been painted. Most paint companies have A&C colors to choose from. These colors are sort of muddy and muted, so they are hard to get a good one.

@tinad8561 3 года назад

@@pattifriend6676 The chalk paint revolution? I think I know what you mean. Reasonably attractive brown furniture is still reasonably attractive if you paint it, and paint can help unite things if you’ve got “all the shades of wood” going on in your room. (I would argue that’s more about light, though-antique stores look fine with all kinds of wood, as do Victorian rooms, but neither is typically “light and bright.”) Hideous furniture, however-looking at you, 1973-is still hideous whatever you do with it. I do think there’s going to be a boom in furniture stripping businesses in another 10 years or so. People have already discovered that keeping chalk paint waxed in the approved Annie Sloan manner is a complete pain in the tuchas.

What kind of closets/ storage does the house have? Where is the laundry area/room?

@dude988 6 месяцев назад

You are supposed to bring your own closets, no walk-ins in Europe. And for the laundry, the washing machine is most likely in the bathroom in this house, in smaller houses it's usually in the kitchen. No laundry room, no mud room, no pantry, one bathroom for the whole family and a loo downstairs are most likely the major differences between US and European houses.

I am curious how much use you get from a pool in Canada? I’ve known people with pools in their backyard in Arkansas and Missouri who couldn’t sell their houses because they had a pool. My father always told me it was an attractive nuisance.

@Canary217 3 года назад

Three months of use, four if September is warm. Five if May's warm too. Most people fill in their pools if trying to sell around here. Anything more than a birdbath really isn't worth it.

@marionpeebles3836 3 года назад

@@Canary217 shoot even my brother in Fort Worth filled his in after his kids grew up and moved. I used to want one so much but now I think I would prefer just knowing someone with a pool

@peggypeggy4137 2 года назад

It would be worth it (maybe) if you have a huge yard. I live in Toronto. Most of the yards are fairly small, even in the suburbs. It would be expensive to heat and maintain for a relatively short season. If I lived in a warm around the year state like Florida or Texas it would be worth it.

@larsedik Год назад

@@peggypeggy4137 I have a pool at my house in Palm Springs (not Florida or Texas), and so do most other people who live here. It gets lots of use, but heating it in the winter (when it is 75°F ouside) is expensive, and so we only use it April through November, and only part of November. To heat it in the winter used to cost about $40 a day, but gas prices have gone up.

Why are you showing us another house, a “comparable” towards the end? You are confusing the viewer. Stay focused on the house you are working on, the house that is the subject of the show.

@vaderladyl 3 года назад

Yeah I don't see the point of showing two either. Very confusing indeed.

The show spans several years. Wh a t is loved and "in" one year is "out" after 3 or 4 years. Also, she has to please the homeowners. I am pretty sure the homeowner would not agree to painting those oak kitchen.cabinets.

They left the red walls in hall???

@larsedik Год назад

Frank is pretty clueless if he thinks Mary Lou is good with colors, considering the harsh chartreuse she chose for their walls. I like that color in small doses, but never for an entire wall, let alone several rooms. It creates a glow from reflected light that is very unflattering to people's complexions. Just getting rid of the hideous used kitchen towels that were hung on the oven door handle made a big difference. When showing a house, used towels should be hidden - not displayed in plain view. It's a simple thing to do, and yet so many people do not do this. An oven door handle is NOT a towel rack, unless the oven is uglier than the towels and is not used as an oven.

I really hate when high quality wood gets painted over - it really makes good wood look cheap and devalues the house. Would very much put me off buying the house. I HATE painting and hate refinishing wood much more. I can see why the series got canceled. Host knows the value of neutral colors and decluttering but has no appreciation for keeping the integrity of American period architecture. She seriously needs an architecture course.

@larsedik Год назад

@@cathyblackhall3448 What matters is what people like. "Elegant" period houses can be depressingly dark, and if someone wants to preserve them, then they need to put up the money and buy the property themselves. Whoever buys the house gets to decide whether the wood gets painted or not. Better to be painted (paint can be stripped) than torn down. It is absolutely wrong to tell someone what to do with the interior of their own house.
