My House Price Dropped By $50,000 & Still Won't Sell | Unsellables S1 E17

[@FigaroHey]

.Box out the existing front door with the gable over it to turn the porch into an entrance hall & offer more space to choose if you want to go through into the kitchen or living room without the kitchen being the first view on walking in.

[@maryd9331]

There might be a building line issue where they can't build out the entry.

[@maryd9331]

They could put up a wall at 5he end of the kitchen and make a small entry way.

[@AgentAO7]

Nice transformation. But I can’t get over the “Hi, everyone, welcome to our kitchen” layout of this house. Lol

[@jeanvignes]

It is a truly weird layout. But they wanted to keep the "reno" to the absolute minimum.

[@Whoiskevinjones]

I've never seen a bungalow front door open directly into the kitchen. I would turn around and walk away.

[@catlover47842]

I would not be put off at all from the basement or kids stuff. None of it will stay behind. Its more important how the rooms r shaped and how much work the decorating will be. The only off-putting part for me was to open the front door and stand in the kitchen suddenly. I mean really??

[@pinecrone8991]

Sofie and Anthony are great pardners. Always enjoy them.

[@vanessathomas7437]

Yes, Anthony does awesome work and very creative.

[@leaflover3497]

I’ve never seen that before, to walk in the front door directly into the kitchen. I can’t believe anyone would build a house like that.

[@brassy49er37]

I don’t think it’s the paint, there really isn’t too much. I think it’s the kitchen. No amount of decor would sway me from that.

[@jaceware8808]

For as house that expensive I would expect better appliances.

[@frannyfisher8734]

I’m so confused about the kitchen. You could see the front door from the living room, but they said you walk into the kitchen from the front door. Which is horrible if it’s true and definitely is the reason the house hasn’t sold.

[@kaynucklehead1633]

If the first thing I see when I enter the house is the kitchen and they are asking for the money they are I would expect more than what looks like formica laminate on the counter tops and subway tiling.

[@barbarahaines7661]

Enjoyed the chip in the kitchen counter top.for that money,really

[@jff1813]

@@kaynucklehead1633 That kitchen counter should have been replaced. It's very old, ugly, and cheap.

[@kaynucklehead1633]

@@jff1813agree it should have been updated. Doesn't it make you wonder what else is old and cheap like furnaces, air conditioners and the roof?

[@jimjimmyjames59]

How would painting your new master bedroom NOT be the priority when you switch rooms? And you're keeping a day care running while you're trying to move?

[@lilibetp]

I bet the first thing the new buyers do is put a wall up over that kitchen.

[@virginiatolles1664]

I think I would have replaced the old appliances. That dishwasher dates back to the 1970s!

[@joyhead342]

The previous orange wall in the dining room was rather bland after the redo. And i was hoping the front doors would become a different color.

I love the Brick floor in the Kitchen!

[@bevcrusher4177]

That isn't brick, it's terracotta tiles.

[@kristinatidwell6563]

Vanessa Thomas the tiles are Mexican Terracotta Tiles, but most of the time they dont last very long. If you want to get that type of look please check Italian quarry tile? Its indestructible.

[@vanessathomas7437]

@@kristinatidwell6563 Thanks for the tip! Always loved Brick on floors and Interior Brick walls as a statement piece.

[@lechatbotte.]

It’s Saltillo tile not terracotta

[@jeanvignes]

I live with a huge expanse of grouted tile floors and I hate them. There is no way to keep the grout clean. It's a nightmare unless you just give up and accept mottled gray/brown grout.

[@catherinebranson1469]

The space divider in the basement looks like jail

[@swiskit]

The family could have converted the downstairs to be bedrooms and a space for the kids and stayed in the house. But yes, painting the purple room was a no brainer and should have been done in the first place

[@JG-td3qw]

That is one confusing front door kitchen teleportation.

[@svietka202]

absolutely ridiculous! house was immaculate, well maintained and i m sorry but to buy curtains for 200 is dumb and wasteful decision. the room dividers r brilliant but to keep old stove is a mistake. sorry but i think this was not a well thought out "remodel"

[@melbrod3868]

The first thing I see in that kitchen is the old appliances. Off-putting for me.

[@jeanvignes]

As a buyer, I would price all new appliances and knock the cost off of my offer.

[@tuc1113]

Stoves should never be beneath a window due to fire hazard. Code violation in many areas. Should have redone the kitchen with the sink under the window and stove moved to the back wall to the left of where the sink is.

[@kellynoel77]

Every kitchen I have ever seen in my entire life has the sink under the window.

[@cherrybarb4651]

Some of these sellers are amazing: "We're way too lazy to even scrape the stars off the ceiling or paint out these garish colours and too cheap to put in a new countertop. Just give us over half a million$ for our dump and then start spending money and doing all this work yourselves." Really?

[@yanki161]

So they replaced the cabinet silver handles with silver handles?

[@EllaBeth30]

What about the bathroom, the powder room? Why they don't tak about that at all on the show? Bathrooms are a huge selling point of any house same as kitchen.An old bathroom can put off any potential buyers.

[@ysbyttybedbug]

I’m confused. The decor of the main floor in the comparable house looked pretty similar to that of the un-sellable house to me.

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

It's already sold

[@ysbyttybedbug]

@Luxe Aux I agree that the layout is different but I thought the decor looked similar.

[@seagal-1]

@@ysbyttybedbug It is, there's just a lot less of it. The DR table was changed and whatever it was that was leaning on the walls for grass shack look was added.

[@susananderson1071]

[@sitolm9791]

What is wrong with the wall behind the dining room table? It looks really weird and unfinished!

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

Problem I noticed Immediately: Plastic Chair on porch P L A S T I C C H A I R

[@NYCisland]

Front door takes you to the kitchen?!! OMG. Hilarious how people continue to say "it's a mystery to me why this house hasn't sold" - really OMG. And you know if they went house shopping and walked into a mess they too would not be able to look beyond it. BUT, how can you expect someone who runs a day care business out of the house to tell their clients to find someone else to care for their kids for the time it takes to sell and move? You'd have zero clients left.

[@seagal-1]

I think you can take these stories with a grain of salt. If they were moving out of the area maybe they had already closed down the daycare or were ready to as they found another place and wanted to move on.

[@Erintii]

It's not only in older houses, in new apartments for rent in Zurich, Switzerland it's the same. No corridor, just welcome to the kitchen.

[@AngelaCoffman]

Are there grass skirts hanging on the dining room wall?

[@kaynucklehead1633]

I wondered what those were. They look like skinny bales of hay. Maybe it's an art statement? How do you dust it?

[@jeanvignes]

@@kaynucklehead1633 - put a well-secured nylon stocking over the nozzle of the vacuum and carefully dot it on the delicate art. The nylon keeps the art from getting sucked into the vacuum.

[@gardenplots283]

Probably only has one small outdated bathroom as well as the odd entrance into the kitchen.

[@darlenemills3942]

Why do they never show or remodel a bathroom ..????

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

Really people can't see beyond paint colours. Didn't she hear the lady runs a day care so of course the children need space, but for now lets forget about that. The reason this house is not selling is the kitchen, no one wants to walk into the kitchen from the front door also it only being 2 bed rooms not a family home just big enough for a couple as it is. The whole house needs a remodel. I have never kept or wanted kitchen appliances from passed owners ( only if they are newly purchased) Sofie stop the posing all she does is fluff in and out.

[@Mameha4]

It's such a weird house. All this space, but only two bedrooms, one of which is quite small? Who needs a gigantic sitting room, gigantic dining room and a ginormous entire basement that is just one huge room? All this space yet the kids sleep in a bed shoved inside another bed? Wow. The entire concept of the house is absolutely not appealing. No privacy, just living with everybody constantly.

[@twistoffate4791]

I would have knocked some living space out to create a bigger kitchen, but that's just me.

[@d12tu68]

nice video 👍

[@katewade9992]

Only 2 bedrooms?! $629k.

[@littledotti]

my walls/scotia and skirting are the same colors, lol.

[@silvialivick3034]

Lot of money for this small house

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

I would build a small mud room by the front door and build a wall that close the kitchen off. Open concept is a privilege, it's not something that everyone should have. Eventually ealking right into the kitchen is not something that you want for your house.

[@kvmtan9173]

👍💖i so love the white color

[@Jessica-kk1cz]

Ok, so they didn’t sell even with the changes.

[@kristinatidwell6563]

Just let them know it takes 12 months til move in - if they want to build a new place on some land before they sell their current place.
