Anthony is a show stealer with his smile and gentle manner 😊👌✨🙏

[@missinformed9550]

I'm in my 60s and would describe him as Hubba Hubba, Va Va Va Voom 😅

[@dolorescordell129]

Always amazes me that owners can't see what they are doing to make their home undesirable, but even more amazed that buyers can't see how little it would take to make the house desirable!!

[@bettyreese2103]

When I first saw my beautiful home it was painted all bright yellow and poppy red inside, but huge and light. Now it is all creams and greens and my vision has come true!

[@AB2B]

I'm always a bit flummoxed when I see some of these "unsalable" houses. I have trouble understanding how, when you walk into a house like this, you can't see all it would take is a relatively small bit of money to make it shine. Total kitchen remodel, I understand being iffy as that's way more work and money, but a fresh coat of paint, removing a closet, changing curtains, and popping in new lights isn't insurmountable.

[@jamesmasters4255]

Americans all style no substance or vision

[@judithburke1539]

Grief and depression don't like light and changes. Also new projects are too daunting to think about. I'm glad that she was able to see the benefits of taking the advice offered this time.

[@lindaartz3297]

I think in pictures, my husband thought in words and numbers. I loved redoing houses and he just let me pick them out because he couldn’t see what the renovations would do. Some people cannot visualize.

[@janinafisher101]

People lack imagination, and I'm told that especially in the Toronto housing market it has to be just right. Most people are not skilled at seeing what is needed - even small changes that are easily and inexpensive. You have to do it for them. Which is why I end up buying houses cheap and transform them while living in them on just a minuscule budget. Of course there's no such thing as a "cheap" house since Covid!

[@theresekatie4841]

I think it's just the sheer level of work it requires. It might be a cheaper house but you then have to add $5000-$20000 to upgrade everything and take the time to do it. Some people simply suck at DIY, gardening and painting. And they never include the labourer costs in their makeovers and renovations. If you can't do stuff yourself hiring a contractor for ever little thing won't be cheap.

[@Aceof2Hearts]

Anthony is so good and Sophie is so hardworking. Love this show

[@cherylverdon3077]

I'd stay away from this house because of the mess on the neighbors' front porch. Red flag for me. If the neighbors don't care how their entrance looks, they won't care about noise and other things. Run.

[@functionoflightone]

I was so confused at first. Where I live what these lovely people were selling would not be considered a house, it would be considered half a duplex. We might rent half that duplex, but when it came time to sell, it would be the whole house (both sides) or nothing. Personally I would never buy half of a duplex knowing that I would zero control over who/what moved into the other half.

[@arislopes1924]

I swear I love this show just for the 00s aesthetics crazy how it wasn’t even that long ago but you already get that vintage vibe from 00s stuff

[@Debbie56]

I luv how the owners are always full of excuses and so sensitive when Sophie gives her advice.

[@tgeetoo9451]

Love even reruns- but would prefer really new (not recycled) episodes. 😉 Sophie and Anthony are so talented and in synch. 😍

[@mattneillninasmom]

They might at least have let us know if it sold, and for how much!

[@leslieannvanhumbeck7630]

The camera spun around so much I got vertigo. 😂

[@edwardzarnowski5558]

Owners always seem so bummed that they have to sell it after its all done.

[@vh2337]

The new bed placement looks great, the whole bedroom does but.. in Feng Shui room placement the overhead beam running down the center of the bed is a no no, It represents a pressing down, a heaviness, and relationship difficulty for the couple.

[@lindapindabelinda3570]

Don’t buy half a duplex. Shared maintenance can be a nightmare.

[@irenedavo3768]

Her top is nice bright and fresh! He is wearing brown

[@Dan.D.Lion.Wishes]

*DON'T* tell the ex's cousins where you're moving to! Just noticed the wife is wearing a fabulous colorful blouse yet her home is brown on brown on.....more brown🤷

[@buteveryoneknewherasnancy]

That’s why it’s time. Time. Certainly time. Definitely time. (Love how that couple repeats what each other says, and not once but multiple times. 😆)

[@Jane5720]

There was some definite different Exchanges between those two

[@ar5624]

Someone doesn’t like kids

[@dorterosenkjr726]

The beautiful coloured glaswindow offer a fantastic opportunity to repeat those colours in the textiles

[@margaretalbert69]

Love those stained glass windows

[@Holidaygal]

We sold our home with a lovely 3 feet by 4’ stained glass window. Everyone who visited love it. The people who bought it sold the stained glass window within a year.

[@SylviaJonathan]

good job on this one

[@lorirogers9304]

She’s still bitter about the divorce

[@_JanetLouise]

another beautiful make over

[@leslieannvanhumbeck7630]

They must really hate kids. 🤬

[@jacirasilva5431]

Good night, I'm Brazilian, I love to watch a renovation video, remove the accumulations and do the renovation that you need, the high esteem is very good light. If I had the financial means I would call you my own

[@janetpattison8474]

Wow, the owner wouldn’t let the agent show the house to other agents. Uh,yeah, that’ll put a damper on everything, so she could have her privacy, while her home is on the market. Nice kitchen tho. And I’d ditch that HUGE ottoman in the Small space. After is awesome!

[@_JanetLouise]

great shirt Anthony!

[@katfen9372]

From a palette of a million colors, you picked some cold artificial blue similar one. Warm white or light beige would do a good job in a living room.

[@VIncentSunflowers]

Those replacement fixtures on the bedroom ceiling look like BATHROOM lighting. And what's with spending $400 on bed linen?! Never in my life! Beside which, this really doesn't sell the house.

[@AB2B]

Have to agree, $400 on bed linen is a bit much, and it doesn't do any more to sell the house than some very nice $50-$60 sets. I did think the lights were okay, especially since they weren't going all out to install recessed lights, though if I bought the house it might be one of the first things I did (can't say, as we didn't see the bathroom or other bedrooms).

[@bitterspice]

The linens can come with you to the new house.

[@issievdhorst]

seen. Good job.

[@missinformed9550]

The owners are really cute together.😅

[@idakate7]

All the homeowners do not take the advice of the realtor. They want someone to hold their hand and do the work for them.

[@wilmacguzman4405]

It says US - but this definitely looks like Toronto,Ontario Canada - would be nice to know the date aired - as prices are now much different.

[@peggypeggy4137]

I noticed that it "Davisville Tennis Club", so it is definitely a good area of Toronto. This show started in Toronto in 2008. That house would go now for at least 1.5 million now, even though it is a small.

[@christinelavita5838]

little white table in the way and stools in kitchen block door would not of done that

[@angelabacker1177]

They just needed to open the curtains and add some colorful touches.

[@_JanetLouise]

Lookin' Good Sophie!

[@vivoyeur]

Her ex probably paid his family to buy that house. 😂😁😁😁

[@MeditationParadiseLand]

Thumbs up Always 💖The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health , love and happiness 💕🌹

[@1234OopsyDaisy]

As another commenter remarked VERY FROU FROU ! Uuuuugh but better than the brown everywhere

[@snorlonikins1]

That bedroom beam is bad in Feng Shui terms.

[@wendajones9040]

So now they got a beautiful home and want to move because a few kids are playing outside! What!

[@irenedavo3768]

Much better

[@molliemae6855]

So it’s time???!

[@cherylmccue956]

Hate the powder baby blue.

[@reducepricroryhrywtby]

Since watching this I slowly decluttering my dead elderly parents home I'm really cleaning it demould spray, vinegar, bicarbonate of soda etc We may have a supervised garden bonfire to get rid of the worn furniture 45 years old, the sun helps and warm feeling

[@craftyhobbit7623]

Nothing wrong with the house which a bit of rearranging of furniture can't cure and get rid of that EAT sign in the kitchen - it's tacky.

[@Periwinkle110]

Laura got this house in divorce alimony...that's the guess. It seems to be an ex-family heirloom.

[@annecampbell9236]

Why do American fridges stick out into the room?

[@judithburke1539]

Because they are designed to fit into new buildings. This building might have been old enough to have an ice box which is significantly smaller than a refrigerator.......

[@lillic8522]

@@judithburke1539 I noticed the fridge sticking out in other houses too. Besides their kitchen looked fairly modern. I think European fridges are designed to fit in with the kitchen cabinets, they are usually are also smaller.

[@ultimatevixn]

instead of moving, you could have spent the money to soundproof the walls. she doesn't want to live next door to her ex's family. I understand . Our new neighbors have 3 dogs that they don't take out. bark all the time. I hear and don't hear. My son is just as loud watching the game

[@Atochabsh]

Isn't noise issues something you have to disclose when you sell?

[@mackereltabbie]

this was "ex's cousin's kids" issues, not genuine noise issues :D

[@leec5170]

If it's what we call a "material fact" then yes, it must be disclosed. Noise from the kids next door doesn't qualify. If you're under an airplane flight path and loud planes are constantly flying overhead, then I'd say that would qualify!

[@suenevin57]

Where is this house? $649K seems high for a duplex.

[@judithburke1539]

It depends on the location.

[@suenevin57]

@@judithburke1539 You’re right. I think this is Ontario, Canada.

[@dianethompson6804]

Where do the sellers get the $4,000 to do the transformations??

[@janbaldwin1189]

Why didn't they sound proof their wall? Is it a costly proposition????? The house she showed wasn't anything like the couple's house, except that it was bright, which I guess was the point. I really didn't like the rock garden in the front yard, I would have liked it to be softened with small shrubs or summer blooming prennials. What heck was that box for on the front step??

[@jtaforJesus]

I love this show and have seen it before. But WHY the crazy camerawork? Especially of the owners smiling faces¡

[@ithacacomments4811]

How are they going to keep quiet about the noisy kids living next-door?

[@wendajones9040]

Sophie always looks like she’s so not serious about painting!

[@Cindy-bee]

When was this? Today the price would be more than double with multiple offers.

[@leslieannvanhumbeck7630]

Around 2009

[@abigail1023]

Why are all of Sophie's voiceovers cut out?? These people like every colour as long as it's brown. 😄 "Dark and drab" are not on most buyers' Must-Have lists.

Table and chairs need to go!

There is too much foo foo stuff in the reveal. The decor is way over done. Keep it simple.

This is NOT a new show and is from many seasons ago. House to Home: DON'T YOU TOO START LYING TO US.

[@oliviaginsbourg6541]

😅😅noisy kids OK but your bedroom isn't soundproof either 😅😅

[@kutrabilada8865]

The intro was kind of weird.

[@martharock8377]

You didn't address the sounds of screaming children coming through the walls. House looks great but you may be on the hook for an undisclosed nuisance. 😮

[@marzymarrz5172]

Its got annoying decor and weird colors and cheesy furniture. All those little stones in front walkway is messy and weird energy.

[@issievdhorst]

pity THE LAST FEW VIDEOS HAVE BAD EDITING.

[@margaretalbert69]

Look past the ugly furniture 😜

[@cathtf7957]

Disturbing

[@seeking.harmony]

So we get to see the downside (noise through the walls), but buyers may not find that out until they move in. 🫤

[@theresekatie4841]

She said it was her exes cousins as well which would make it super uncomfortable.
