No the house is correctly priced. There are properties around him that have been sold for $1.5 million so his price of $1.3 is not too high. He just needs to be patient. A 2-month wait is nothing. If he doesn't receive one single offer in 6 months then I would start to panic.

I remember this one, as soon as I saw that beautiful wooden wall I stopped the video. I was horrified when I watched this a while back. They covered that gorgeous wood (that was breathtaking with the sun shining in) with generic white paint and made it look like every other cheaply-built cookie-cutter new house. Here in 2022 Mid-Century Modern is hugely popular, and folks would pay a lot of money for that. It's such a shame that generic/cheap/boring was popular when this show originally aired.

There are lots of times when painting paneling is the right thing to do, but NOT in this case. That wood was part of the mid-century design in that house and it was already a neutral color. They should have left it alone. I would also have preferred a mid-century chandelier in the dining room. The garden was a massive improvement.

I would be beyond upset to find out that the panel wall and wood finish cabinets had just been painted for the first time. The potential of both rooms was lost to that bad decision. People love to miss the real opportunities because of their wrong concept of what is outdated. And the whole paint everything white movement will be looking dated soon enough - for me it already has for some time now. It's important to mix darks and lights and a dark wall adds depth. Not every wall needs to be reflecting so much light. Literally just actually updating the kitchen would have done more and fluffing up the decor and landscaping would have added more value and been money better spent. The warmth it did have was lost to this quick cheap update.

Me: "Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that most people don't want to spend $1.3 million on an extremely outdated house with terrible landscaping?" I live in Wisconsin where houses like that, which are a dime a dozen, will cost you maybe $200,000 if that. I just walked by several houses that look just like this one earlier this evening.

$4 k of improvements for a $1.3 million asking price . That won't be enough .

And I notice that with the closed garage door, the cement driveway has a huge dip indicating some settling issues. The appliances and computer screens indicates the owner is into " good enough ". I'm guessing that the floor radiator heating indicates there is no air conditioning HVAC........at $1.3 mil and no AC,that's a pass for a family.

So the location in the description is United States, but the house overlooks lake ontario and is situated in Scarborough. Its upploaded in 2022, but his monitor is from 2002, the house looks to be from 1997 ("it has a retro feel"). And they want 1.3 millies for the house, which is a 2022, LA price. What. is. Happening.

Scarborough is in Greater Toronto Area. Like you said this video is more than a decade old and toronto real estate is quiet pricier. In 2022 it will be consider a steal 1.5 m for a lakeside house in toronto. That is a little piece of paradise

I’d never pay that much money for such a dated old house. The view is obstructed by the large tree, that I suppose belongs to the neighbors. Imagine the money required to update that kitchen and no doubt the bathrooms. And the heating/cooling system is probably old as well. No garage? Didn’t see one. I just didn’t care for the house at all. I’m wondering if it ever sold for that much money. Nice place for a pool and spa in the back. Would be less mowing and weeding if it had one.
