On “Unsellable Houses,” Leslie Davis and Lyndsay Lamb admit that the current market is “very difficult” for sellers. But there is hope, and the latest episode proves sellers don’t need to shell out oodles of cash to market a property.
In the Season 4 episode “Vanity of Vanities,” the sisters meet Tom and Cassie, who have had trouble selling their Mukilteo, WA, home. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house has been on the market for a month at $750,000 and hasn’t attracted much interest.
Davis explains that buyers “have high expectations right now. So if you’re going to pay top dollar, then you want everything to be at that top-dollar level.”
The sisters set a modest budget of $75,000 to fix up this ’80s home. While that’s not a ton of money, the HGTV stars make important, cost-effective improvements that get the place sold. Read on to find out which renovations truly pay off when selling a house.
