    • April 23, 2008
    • LifeStyle

    Jason and Christine are budget sellers who hate agents. They can’t understand why you would part with thousands of dollars in commission when you could sell the home yourself. After all, it can’t be THAT hard! Seven months ago they listed their modest Brisbane house on a do-it-yourself sell internet site. To save even more money, they didn’t bother to order a sign or any marketing materials. The sole advertising push was down to one single website.

The front deck is collapsing, the décor is dated, the carpets are threadbare, and the back bedrooms are missing a wall! The Engle family seem oblivious to the chaos and clutter they live in, but to buyers it’s all too obvious. No wonder they’ve been trying to sell for over a year! Can three days and a limited budget even touch the sides of this mammoth project? Or has the Selling Houses Australia team bitten off more than they can chew?

Two and a half years ago she agreed to put the house on the market - for four and a half million dollars!

    • LifeStyle

The lads are in their 30’s with responsible jobs, but the house screams student bachelor pad. They want to sell up and go their separate ways but until the house sells this odd couple are stuck together. The first problem could be the asking price - it’s way over market value and the presentation isn’t helping their case either. This home should appeal to family buyers, however the dated décor, weird layout and laddish styling is turning them all away.

Doctors advised that Canberra’s climate was bad for the toddler’s health, so they put the house on the market and snapped up a block of land in Merimbula to be close to the sea. But five months later, they’re no closer to a sale and repaying the mortgage and the loan on the land is sending them broke.

With two young boys in the house, renovating is almost impossible. On top of that, Allan is away Monday to Friday working in Canberra, leaving little time for doing jobs at the weekend.

But it didn’t take long for recently divorced Craig to crave the city life, so he rented a city pad, put tenants in the house and listed it on the market for offers over $900,000. Unfortunately, the tenants didn’t work out and two months later, Craig was back mowing the lawns. For the last six months, he’s been chasing the market down, not to mention forking out for rent and a mortgage.

    • April 3, 2010
    • LifeStyle

    Greg and Marge have been trying to sell their four bedroom Chatswood house for 17 months to no avail. Hardly surprising when you see the state of the place - it’s a frightful, unhygienic mess. Their two grown up kids still live at home and aren’t really helping things on the sale front as they’re not overly keen to move on. The asking price is a hefty 1.2 million dollars. Marge and Greg are both worn down by the stress of shiftwork and pressing money worries and feel overwhelmed to the point of inertia. $18,000 is allocated for cleaning, painting, re-carpeting and tidying the garden and deck.

However, the home has been badly renovated and the layout is confusing which is probably turning buyers off. Most of the $16,000 makeover is spent adding some much needed colour and life to the place and opening the house up to the garden. After two years languishing on the market – will the property sell at the price Julie needs to pay off her debts and move on with her life?

  • S03E03 Kallangur

    • LifeStyle

    Steve and Louise have had their four bedroom, two bathroom Kallangur house, just north of Brisbane on the market for 11 months with three different agents and an asking price of $359,000. It’s currently tenanted by their twenty year old son and his friend who prefer partying and poker nights, to early starts and clean-ups for inspections. Sadly the house was trashed by the last tenants friends, who didn’t sign a lease and while Steve and Louise have attempted some repairs, it still needs a lot of work. This is almost certainly what’s turning off buyers, who’ll be seeing all the problems rather than its great potential. With a makeover budget of $12,000 the place is transformed, modernised and all the odd jobs finished off in fine style.

  • S03E04 Maroubra

    • April 21, 2010
    • LifeStyle

    Ian and Jenny are selling the home they’ve lived in for 35 years to fund their retirement. It’s a five bedroom Californian Bungalow located 200 hundred metres from Maroubra Beach and has been on the market for nine months with an asking price of 1.5 million.

After Andrew’s straight talking visit, Ian and Jenny agree to part with $25,000 to modernise the place for sale. The money stretches a long way inside and out and the home blossoms into a lighter, brighter, more stylish property. With the asking price still a sticking point between the agents and the owners, the house is re-launched on the market at auction with a nervous Ian and Jenny anxious to see if they will get the price they need.

  • S03E05 West Footscray

    • April 28, 2010
    • LifeStyle

    On a generous whim Tom bought this three bedroom weatherboard cottage in 2009 for his 21 year old son who was on an overseas holiday. He paid $476,000 for it and thought he’d bagged a bargain but unfortunately his son didn’t want it. This was a kid who had other plans for further travel and wasn’t ready or willing to take on a mortgage. So three months later it was back on the market with an asking price of offers over $500,000. An offer duly came in for $510,000 but Tom knocked it back assuming the market was on the rise. But since then he’s had no further interest, perhaps because the property looks sad, dated and dowdy. With a decent makeover budget of $25,000 the house is transformed and the agent confident it will sell at auction, finally freeing Tom of the burden.

  • S03E06 Bundeena

    • May 5, 2010
    • LifeStyle

    Andy, Adie and their three year old son live south of Sydney in Bundeena – a unique coastal hamlet with road access only through the Royal National Park. In short, it’s off the beaten track and properties can sometimes shift slowly in this sort of niche market. With an asking price of offers over $690,000 for two bedrooms and a self-contained granny flat, they haven’t had a single nibble of interest. The many unfinished jobs around the house probably aren’t helping, so the Selling Houses Australia team concentrate the $20,000 makeover on all the finishes and making it lighter and more beach friendly. The place looks great for its next open house which attracts several potential buyers and the family are hopeful that it will now finally sell.

  • S03E07 Castle Hill

    • May 12, 2010
    • LifeStyle

    In this episode of Selling Houses Australia, the team are brought in to help Monique and Thierry sell their multi level fi ve bedroom, three bathroom family home in Castle Hill. The property was first put up for sale more than two years ago with an asking price of $800,000, which they have since dropped to $765,000. Essentially the negative features of the property outweigh the positives. It’s dowdy, slightly dated with an inconvenient layout, but it is generously proportioned, has a pool and a decent backyard in a beautiful bush setting. Shaynna’s makeover sorts out a lot of the style issues and Charlie creates a second kitchen on the ground fl oor near the pool. The property is much more enticing thanks to the $17,000 worth of changes, but will it now sell?

  • S03E08 Pacific Pines

    • May 19, 2010
    • LifeStyle

    Regan and Matthew with their 15 month old daughter are on a quest to move even closer to the water. They have had their four bedroom Gold Coast property on the market for about four months seeking offers over $430,000. Despite the bonus of a pool, the house has the dated, poorly furnished look of a half loved rental and could really use some money for an update and style injection. They also need to link the pool in the front garden with the entertaining area at the back. Regan and Matthew agree to spend $12,000 on modernising the property in the hope of securing a sale.

  • S03E09 Mitcham

    • May 26, 2010
    • LifeStyle

    Jacqui and Brian were asking $630,000 for their two story, four bedroom weatherboard home in Mitcham, half an hour east of Melbourne. It was on the market for fi ve months without an agent, just listed on a ‘for sale by owner’ website, where they only received one buyer enquiry and no inspections, so they dropped the price to $580,000. They then did some work painting the outside and certain rooms inside and re-listed it with new photos online which produced two inspections… but still no offers. Despite their efforts, the house remains dated looking and there is still heaps of work to do. So with Andrew as motivator they agree to spend some more money on the property. With a makeover budget of around $15,000 it’s hoped a grand old home will re-emerge and sell quickly with or without an agent.

They’ve been trying to sell their three bedroom 1920’s bungalow for 12 months with an asking price of between $640,000 and $650,000. It’s the quintessential worst house in the best street – with the main issues centred around the rundown state of the front garden and all the clutter that’s descended since the baby came along. But the agent is confident that after the Selling Houses Australia $17,000 makeover, the property will sell for the right price at auction. With nine out of ten houses sold will the team, for the first time ever, sell all ten houses in the series?

Season 4

  • S04E01 North Rocks

    • February 14, 2011
    • LifeStyle

    This house’s towering, overpowering problem is so extreme that many prospective buyers turn around before even getting out of the car. Bang in the middle of the front yard stands an enormous electricity pylon. There’s no fixing or removing this “feature” but more people might be prepared to live with it if the rest of the house was exceptional. Unfortunately the only thing exceptional about this house is its outdated,1980s décor (complete with purple loo!), making this property completely un-saleable in its present state. George and Lynda Antonjevic have been living at their North Rocks home in Sydney for 13 years with son, Alex and daughter Monique. They’re selling up because the massive house and extensive grounds are simply too much for them to maintain. The plan is to downsize and the couple have already purchased a townhouse off the plan. At the time, 18 months ago, they never imagined their family home wouldn’t sell. Now the townhouse is almost complete and in 2-3 weeks the bridging loan will kick in putting enormous strain on their finances and making a sale a matter of urgency.

  • S04E02 Blue Mountains

    • February 23, 2011
    • LifeStyle

    The Blue Mountains in NSW are a drawcard for artistic types, many of whom have eclectic tastes. But there’s eclectic and then there’s eccentric...and with this market also trying to appeal to families relocating from Sydney’s Western suburbs, anything too unconventional is going to have a hard time selling. And unconventional is certainly one way of describing woodwork enthusiast Bob Mitchell’s house overlooking the bush in the village of Yellow Rock. The Gingerbread House is the term that springs to Andrew’s mind....as he steps into this home straight from a Grimms fairytale! The team’s challenge is to broaden the home’s appeal while retaining the key elements that give it such unique character. As Bob says, “It would be bloody great to pick the old girl up, tart her up and dress her up nicely. She deserves it!”

The last of the kids moved out in 1999….but their stuff, including their baby clothes, remains! Prospective buyers can’t even see the house for the boxes of ..things..(inclduing an old kitchen sink) that litter the household.
