It's a beautiful spot.

And yes, it comes with,
you know, some issues.

It sounds like replacing

all the windows in the house.

This is
a table for eight.

This is a good sized room.

This is the only bathroom
for four of them.

How do you feel about
this house, overall?

I have to convince
Matteo to move.

You just have your work
cut out for you.

-Oh!
-That I know.

As backyards go,
this is a good one.

Where's the rest of it, David?

I'm curious to know how much
this is going to cost.

David, we might be
asking you for a loan.

We're not getting this at our
place now, that's for sure.

And I have to convince
Sara to stay.

I try not to laugh

'cause I don't know
if you're kidding.

No, no, no.
We're being serious.

$22,000 is not just a little,
tiny bit of money.

It doesn't even feel
like the same house.

Now, is the time
to let us know.

Are you going to love it?

Or are you going to list it?

-I'm Sara.
-I'm Matteo.

And we live in this
Tudor style house

on the West End.

It has three bedrooms,
two bathrooms

and backs onto a creek.

It's a little tight,
but it works.

So Sara and I
have two daughters.

We were living the city life
in condos downtown,

and we found this neighborhood

and everything about it
was just perfect.

I would say,
the outdoors is great.

The indoors is something
a little different.

I mean, this is a great space.

The living room
is big and spacious.

It's bright,
it definitely works for us.

-It's comfortable.
-And it would be great,

if we could see it
from the rest of the house.

Welcome to our bedroom,

right off the dining room.

The primary bedroom
works for us.

It's a decent size.

We've got all of this
closet space.

I mean, what else do you
really need for a bedroom?

A primary bathroom
would be great.

The kitchen is nice
and bright.

This kitchen
is a bit challenging.

I know it's a little separated
from the rest of the house,

but the one thing that
you can't replace,

is the view.

So when we moved here,

we thought we could build
our dream home.

We thought that we could put

a nice, big extension
on the house.

But, as it turns out, with the
conservation authority

and restrictions,
we can't go up.

We can't go down.
We can't go to the side.

There's nothing
we can really do

to improve
the size of the house.

It's really stopping us

from being able to build
our dream house.

It's so pretty
over here.

It's incredible.

The problem is, when you're
trying to find

somebody real estate
in this neighborhood,

it's almost impossible

because this is one
of the most

expensive neighborhoods
in the city.

I love it. The trees,
the original windows.

It really reminds me
of a nice Tudor.

That's a storybook.

Come on.
Let's go see the house.

Man, This is tiny.

It's tight.

This is really tight.

How do they come in here
with four people?

Can you really still call it
a foyer?

I mean, it's more like
a hallway than anything else.

Come on, David.

What is this,
like 1,400 sq. feet?

Something like that.

-It's 1,300?
-Yes, it is. 1,400.

Feels like a thousand.

I like that you can see
the whole house.

Basically from here. We almost
don't need to go any further.

I think we've seen it.
I think we can leave.

No, we can't leave.

I need to see it all.

Let's go over this way.

This room is not a bad size.

I don't mind it at all.

-The view is through...
-Really pretty windows.

Yeah.

How does that sound? Original?

You know,
what that sounds like?

Sounds like money.

Sounds like replacing
all the windows in the house.

I think there's a bathroom
right there.

Bathroom.

A little tight.

Tight is not the word
for this, Page.

This is the only
bathroom for four of them.

-On this level.
-It is.

So this is it?

Well, this bedroom is cute,
and it's spacious.

I do like this bedroom.

No, this is not a bad bedroom.

Hey, I found
the fourth bedroom.

Oh my gosh.
This is a nice living room.

You know what this house
is like? A 100 years old?

Look at okay.

All right. I think I like
what I see here.

A nice dining room.

-This is spacious.
-Oh.

-Look at this chandelier.
-You like that like?

-I did.
-It is nice.

This is a table for eight.

This is a good sized room.

This is the main bedroom,

so it's right off
the dining room.

So if you're having
a dinner party.

Oh, but look
at the backyard!

- This is gorgeous.
- Yep.

Now the competition has begun.

Well, it's beautiful. It is.

But they can't do
anything here.

Well, you redesign
and you stay.

I'm going to the kitchen.

God, I gotta I gotta say,

this is bigger than I thought
it would be.

They bought this house because
of the neighborhood,

thinking about some dream

they had to do something here.

But they found out

they couldn't fulfill
on that dream.

So now they brought you in
to try and do something

so that they can do
something right

so they can to make it better
so that they can what?

-Stay.
-Or maximize
value and not stay.

Come on, let's go downstairs.

I feel some happy
coming back now.

You're in the basement.

I'm in a finished basement
with light.

I think I see some daylight.

What's back there?

It's something.

How does my happy peak?

And then it kind of just goes.

Here's the door.

Is this--
This is the bathroom, is it?

Yes, it's the bathroom.

Look at that.

It's another room you don't
need to come in.

The sink's the size of a dime.

-What is that?
-It's an oil tank.

So they are heating the house
with oil.

-With oil?
-Yes.

I'm surprised
they haven't converted,

which they probably
will at some point.

But listen,
it doesn't even matter.

You're not gonna do anything
with the space.

You'd have to dig down
first to do it.

Oh, and by the way,

you can't dig down with the
conservation restrictions.

I want to go back to where
I'm a little bit upstairs.

Well, I think we need to find
out how much money

they have to work with.

That's what
we need to find out.

Don't tell Page this,

but I absolutely love
this place.

And the truth is, I would put
up with restrictions

just to live here.

And I have clients that want
to be in this neighborhood.

But the truth is,
there is zero for sale.

The creek, which is a
conservation land restriction.

Well, if I have to be honest
with myself,

I don't know.
I'm not feeling too great
about it

because that's something that
I cannot change.

I am going to have to push
the envelope

when it comes to taking them
out of this neighborhood.

Hi, hello. Hey Sara.

Hi, Matteo. Come on in.

First of all, I want to say
I love where you live.

I don't love that the issues
you have

with the certain
conservation authorities

that are dealing
with that property.

That must have been a bit
of a shock.

That's an understatement.

I didn't expect that
we were going to have

all of these problems
with the house

after we had already
purchased it.

It's a beautiful spot

in a really
expensive neighborhood.

-We love the neighborhood.
-The neighborhood is great.

And that's going to be really,
really hard to beat.

So now it's just about
learning how to work

within those restrictions

to make the house work for you

because you have
a beautiful home,

great square footage, a huge
beautiful park like backyard

and all you need to do is

kind of play inside with it
to make it work.

So I've done an evaluation
on your home, all right?

And current value
is $2.1 million.

Pretty good.

So what is the must have list

to get you out
of that house, Matteo?

To get us out
of this house, David,

we need open
concept main floor.

At least three bedrooms,
three bathrooms,

a room for an office,
a nice big backyard.

And we want to be
in the same neighborhood.

Matteo, that sounds
like a bigger house

than what you currently have.
Would you agree?

It's probably a little bigger
than what we have right now.

All right, so what is the
budget for the new house?

The budget for the new, bigger
house, David, is $2.1 million.

Which is exactly what I quoted
you for your house.

-That's right.
-And you want more house

than you currently have,
correct?

That's right.

And you want to stay in
that neighborhood?

-Yes.
-It's going to be tough

if you wanna stay
in that neighborhood,

and quite frankly,
want more square footage.

I'll do my best.

That's fine, David.
I mean, we're staying anyway.

So you work as hard
as you need to work.

-All right.
-Let me bring
the sunshine back.

Now, Sara, I know that you're
teetering on this guy's side.

What do you need
to stay in the house?

What do I need to do for you?

Well, the entryway.

It's so hard to get in there
with the kids.

Something has
to be done there.

We also would really love
to have an ensuite

for our primary bedroom.

And then we'd also
really like to update

the main floor bathroom
for the girls.

I'd love an open
concept kitchen,

dining and living room.

And now that
I'm thinking of it,

some of the windows
are Plexiglas.

We need to change those out.

Okay and how much money
do I have

to spend on the renovation?

You have $250,000.

Oh, I do. Do I?

That is amazing.
So first, thank you.

That's a very healthy budget
to work with.

And I am very confident now

that I can get everything
done.

Let's hope so.

And, David, you just have your
work cut out for you.

-Oh!
-That I know.

We've got to get to work.

-We do.
-And, we will be in touch.

-All right. Thank you, bye.
-Thank you so much.

Oh! I feel
like a winner today.

$250,000.

So you got $250,000,

but you need to take
my apples and oranges too?

Yes. Have a good day, David.

See you on the winning side.

Wow.

Welcome.

- Good to see you.
- Nice to see you.

- Isn't it cute?
- It's gorgeous.

It has a great
high roof line.

Pretty traditional.
Three bedrooms,

one bathroom
on the main floor.

- Here's the living room.
- Mmm-hmm.

Currently, the main bedroom
is at the back of the house.

I want a flip flop,

the main bedroom
and the living room.

I know that's different

and something
that I wouldn't normally do.

But in this case,
it's going to work.

When you see the view
of the backyard

- and the creek they have...
- Yeah.

...we want the whole back
of the house to just shine.

-Cool.
-So the living room,

now becomes the main bedroom.

- Okay.
- -Right, the fireplace gone.

Coming into this dining room,

this is how I'm going to
create an ensuite for them.

I'm going to move
the wall back to here,

create a huge shower,

a double vanity and a toilet.

And I'll be able to show David

that I can add
a second bathroom

on the main floor 'cause
he said I couldn't do it, so.

-Oh David.
-I know, he still
hasn't learned yet.

I did see,
like a water stain, maybe.

Yeah, there's a couple
of them.

With this ceiling height

and that roof line, they must
have a ton of attic space.

All right,
so we'll deal with that.

-So then we're gonna jump over
onto this side...
-Yeah.

...coming into the kitchen.

The main bedroom is on
the other side of this wall,

and that's what I need
for the living room area.

You want this all open?

I want it all open like
I wanna

push it up and out and away.
It has to go.

That wall sounded very solid
when you hit it.

It did.

It did.

That's a concrete wall,

-like concrete solid.
-Yeah, it is.

But it has to come down.

When we get rid of this wall,

we'll flip the bedroom to
the front of the house,

which gives the homeowners
exactly what they asked for.

An open concept living room,
dining room and kitchen.

With a kitchen
against the back wall.

We give them a huge island,

a dining room, living room,
fireplace with a television.

It's going to be beautiful,

and that gives us all
of these windows.

And look at this.
It's just beautiful.

There's a creek back there.

Their backyard looks
like a park.

- Cool, that's awesome.
- And...

So it's not a big house.

-No.
-Why don't we just go up?

Well, that's a good question.

This whole area, where it
backs up to the creek,

it's all under land
conservation restriction,

so I can't go to the left,
to the right.

I can't go up.
I can't go down.

I can only renovate what's
inside of the existing wall.

So we can't change
the exterior of the home?

We can do that

because we're not under
any historic restrictions.

Okay, so if the front windows
were okay, worth replacing.

Yeah, as a matter of fact,

all of the windows
are gonna get replaced.

Right.
So you got budget for it?

250,000.

-That's a good budget.
-That's a good budget, right?

Yeah, we can make this nice.

Also makes me think that

they're spending
that much money,

they might just want to stay.

We are just outside
their neighborhood,

and I know,
to Matteo this is probably

going to be like Timbuktu,

but it's a beautiful
neighborhood.

And this house,

I mean,
it's got four bedrooms,

four bathrooms, beautiful
open concept main floor,

a living room
and a family room,

a powder room,
a finished basement.

Is it expensive?

This whole area is expensive.

Good morning.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

It's a great neighborhood,

little far from where
we are now.

A little far, a little far.
But look at the house.

That's a lot more house.
Let's go have a look.

And check out the foyer.

Oh wow, this is nice.

This is nice
and open.

I mean, this is probably
one of your complaints.

You walk into your house,
with the four of you,

and it's just... It's cramped.

This is huge.

Let's head
into the living room.

- This is really nice.
- Right.

So if you come in here,
you can practically see

the whole house from here,

you do really get
a good visual of sightlines.

So this is going to give you
some extra square footage

that you don't have currently

and will never have,
really on your main floor.

Let's keep going.

So you've got
your formal dining room.

It is a nice
dining room.

You know what's nice, too?

Is that your bedroom's
not right there,

which is what your current
setup is.

All right, let's see
how you feel about this area.

Look at it. I mean,
there's windows everywhere.

So is this not
what you guys want?

This is perfect.

Let's go
see the backyard.

As backyards go in the city,
this is a good one.

I was gonna ask you, where's
the rest of it, David?

-Figured you were.
-You can enjoy this.

This is a great backyard.

It's gonna be tough finding
a backyard that size,

in your neighborhood

that doesn't, you know, end up
running you to

five million dollars.

There's a lot more
house to see,

- so let's head back inside.
- All right.

All right,
so we'll head downstairs

first to the basement,

which pretty much
has what you need.

Has a rec space, a place for
the kids to watch TV,

a place for them to work out.

You've got a bathroom
right here.

The shower and
everything that you need.

- Nice bathroom.
- More importantly,

a full laundry room,
this is nice.

Yeah, this is nice.

Okay, we'll head
to the second floor.

Oh, wow.

Have a walk,
it's a walk-in.

So you might as well
walk in, Matteo.

Wow, this is great.

And then you have
the main bedroom.

This is gorgeous.

- It's a nice bedroom.
- Right?

Plus the ensuite.

Oh, wow.

I mean,
look at this bathroom.

It's a nice bathroom.

Uh, let's go see the rest
of the bedrooms.

So there are four bedrooms
up here.

Oh, wow.

So,
this is the bathroom.

Bedrooms 3 and 4,

one, they're using
as a bedroom,

and the other one's being
used as an office space.

I mean,
it's a good office.

All right, well,
let's go talk money.

-Okay.
-All right.

Let's head downstairs.

Now that
you've seen everything,

how do you feel about
this house overall?

This is a great house.

This is so nice.

It's spacious. It's open.

It gives us a lot of things
that we don't have now.

Not in our neighborhood.

But... But a nice
neighborhood, though.

What do you think
this house is listed at?

I think this house
is listed at 1.9 million.

What do you think?

This neighborhood?

Four bedrooms.

It's got to be 2.15.

This house is listed
at $2,150,000.

Bang on.
Just slightly over budget,

and maybe just not quite
exactly what you both need.

And I'd like to find something

that's close
to your neighborhood.

But the truth is, Matteo,
if there's nothing for sale,

there's nothing
I can do about that.

So...

Good first house tour,
we're gonna see a lot more.

All right.
Looking forward to it.

-All right. I'll be in touch.
-Thank you so much.

-All right.
-Thank you.

Mateo's tough, but he's also
stuck in love with a house

that ultimately,
if he would admit it,

we'll never give him
everything he wants,

like this house has.

Page?

- Hey, Sara.
- Hi!

I'm excited you're here.

I think I have a really great
plan to share with you guys.

-All right, let's hear it.
-We're excited.

Okay, you ready?
So the wall will come down

and we'll push through
your current main bedroom

and turn that
into the living room space.

-Okay.
-So this whole back area,

the whole back half
of the house,

becomes your space
for your dining area,

your beautiful kitchen.

-Okay.
-All of this,
will be opened up.

The whole back wall will be
just glass and windows.

You can see the backyard.

See the creek, so that will be
the back half of the house.

I think it's really going to
be a great selling feature.

No, Sara, I'm doing all of
this to keep you in the house.

Let's go to the front
of the house.

This is gonna be a stunner.

So now standing in
your current dining room

I'm gonna steal
some space from it,

probably right back
to these windows

and create your ensuite.

I wonder if there's gonna
be enough living room

if we're taking
the space away.

There's gonna be so much
living room like,

this is where
the wall will be.

So we'll go from this part
of your dining room

all the way through.

It has more enough space
for your living room area,

your kitchen
and your dining area.

It's gonna be huge.

It's gonna be great to finally
have our own primary bathroom.

So we're not sharing
with the girls all the time.

Matteo, you can come
anywhere with me.

So coming into
your new main bedroom,

which you have a great
sized living room anyway,

so this is gonna be like
the perfect size main bedroom.

The two bedrooms for the girls
will stay the same,

but we're gonna take it down
to the studs

and just renovate everything
over there,

including the bathroom.

So they have, you know,
a nice bathroom to grow into.

What do you think about
maybe going up

and creating a loft for the
girls for their bedrooms?

I'm trying not to
laugh 'cause I don't know

if you're kidding or not.

No, no, no.
We're being serious.

Sounds wonderful.

Yeah.

A whole second level, huh?

The big attic kind of gives us
the opportunity to do that.

I don't think
it would take much.

Our roof is so tall anyways,

you just, you know, put
a staircase up and convert it.

I mean, that's a lot of work.

I mean, this could be

the difference in between
staying or going.

I mean, this could be
the difference

in between staying or going.

Okay, well,
no pressure there, Sara.

You do know it would be
a lot more than 250,000.

Like I cannot do that.

I could not give you
a main level renovation

plus an upstairs loft.

And we're talking
about going into

the rafters,
beams, staircases.

I mean, there's a lot
that goes into that

for the $250,000 budget
that we have now.

You are aware
of all the restrictions,

with the conservation laws
and rules out here is,

I don't know
if they would let us do it.

We'd love to look into it.

We're just thinking,
if we're doing the work,

let's see
if we can get it done now.

Let me just say this
so that we're very clear.

And I'll look at Matteo,
you know

that is completely outside
of the $250,000 budget.

We'd like to see what
the contractor has to say.

A whole second floor.

- Hey Page, how are you?
- Hey, Matt. I'm good.

So I'm at the house,
and I just met

- with Sara and Matteo, and...
- Yeah?

...they've asked for a loft
in the attic.

Do you mind calling down

to the conservation office
to see if it's even possible?

I don't mind calling
and see what they say.

Okay, Thank you, Matt.

All right,
so we are 13 minutes

from Sara and Matteo's
neighborhood that they love.

And this house,

it's got everything
that they asked for.

Four bedrooms, four bathrooms,
a powder room.

Got an incredible
open concept main floor

with a walk-up to a pool
and a deep lot.

It's got a finished basement.

Price wise,

this house has been
on the market for a while.

And I think
it could be had for a steal.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Good morning, David.

Matteo, I want you to know
that I have not

given up on your neighborhood.

It's just
I'm battling with it.

And even if I go over
budget a little bit,

I still can't find anything
that works for you guys.

That's why we're here
for this great house

that basically gives you
everything you want.

Oh, wow.

- Pretty grand, huh?
- Yes.

Yeah,
it's a big entranceway,

which is something you guys
don't have and want.

A huge front hall closet,

which is nice
for extra storage.

You've got your main floor
powder room,

which is very convenient.

You wanted
an office space, right?

- Yes.
- -Right this way, Matteo.

It's an office.

-It works.
-Unbelievable office.

Look at the size
of this thing.

-It's big.
-How do you feel about this,

versus what
you currently have.

Which is, what is it?

Nothing.

All right.

This is really,
really big.

Like I don't even know,

our furniture would be lost
in this room.

I mean,
look at this incredible space.

Yeah. I mean, this would
actually be a great space

for the family. I mean,
this would work for us.

And speaking of the kitchen,

I mean, this island is like
the size of your kitchen.

This is the size
of our entire house.

No, it's great.
I'm curious to know

how much this is gonna cost.

But look at this. Come on.

Can you imagine this
for your kids?

This is definitely
a much more usable backyard

with all of the patio space,
the pool,

the playing area in the back.

We'll never have something
this nice in our backyard.

We're gonna
head upstairs.

- So the primary bedroom...
- Oh my gosh!

is quite substantial.

- Wow.
- -It's got huge windows.

Oh my goodness.

Now, I don't know
what kind of primary bedroom

you're gonna get from Page.

But, I have a suspicion that
it's not gonna have

two walk-in closets,

a wood burning fireplace,
and a view of a backyard.

It... It's a great bedroom.

It's... It's a good space.

We're never going
to have this in our house.

You got your ensuite.

Oh, wow.

This is
a big bathroom.

Nice, huh?

This is the size
of our bedroom.

I mean,
look at what you're getting,

versus what you might get.

This is something
we're not getting from Page.

Look at this bathroom.
It's huge. It's so nice.

Let's go see the rest.

Kid's bedroom number one,
good sized bedroom.

Right now,
it has a bunk bed in it.

This is the bathroom.

- Oh wow
-Again,
beautiful shower.

Next door, you've got bedroom
number three.

Another good sized bedroom.

- Yeah.
- So, bedroom number 4,

which means you now have
an extra bedroom,

which gives you a guest space.

They've got this
incredible ensuite.

Oh my gosh, this could
be your primary ensuite.

It's so big.

But at some point, you're
gonna have two teenage girls

and having three bathrooms
up here,

it's going to be a game
changer when they can have

their own bathroom
for themselves.

That's very true.

Oh, wait a minute.
Second floor laundry.

That is nice.

Like the rest of the house,
The basement is huge.

Tons of potential.

Great space.

Look at the size
of the windows you have

in the lower level.

This is the perfect setup.

- Let's head upstairs...
- All right.

...talk money because
I know that's important.

-Yes.
-And then, we'll see
where we go from there.

-All right, sounds good.
-Sounds good.

All right, Matteo.
I'll start with you.

How do you
feel about this, overall?

It's a nice house,
there's a lot of space.

Um, definitely a lot more
than what we have right now,

-and I think you did
a better job here, David.
-What do you think?

This house is amazing.

I love it.

What do you think
this house is listed at?

This house, this yard,
I think $2.5 million.

What do you think?

So, I think this house
is probably
worth $2.2 million.

-This house is listed
at $2.2 million.
-Oh.

And I think
there's room to negotiate.

You know, you call it
not an ideal neighborhood,

I think, it's more,
it's not your neighborhood.

I think you have to take
this one pretty seriously,

like, this could be
the forever home.

All right, well, listen,
have a look around,

I'll keep looking.

-All right?
-Sounds good.

- All right.
We'll talk soon.
-Thanks, David.

- All right. Talk to you soon.
- Thank you so much.

If they do actually
drive around this area,

they are going to see
that there is a ton

to love about
this neighborhood.

And if Matteo continues
to be adamant that it has
to be in his neighborhood,

well then, they are going
to have to dig very deep
into their pockets

to be able to come up
with the amount of money
they're going to need

to have a house
even close to this
in their area.

Text from Matt?

What are you saying, Matt?

Oh. About the loft.

We'Il have
to deal with this right now.

I'm gonna call Matteo.

Shoot.

Hey, Matteo, it's Page.
How are you?

Good. I just
heard back from Matt,

and I have some news
about the loft.

It's a no-go.

Yep, he called down
to the conservation office,

and it has
to do with occupancy,

but, they have such
strict rules out here

that they just said,
absolutely no.

So, no loft.

They said,
we absolutely cannot
add on to the house,

even inside.

Okay. I'll get on everything
right away.

All right. Thanks. Bye.

Hey!

Hey, Page, how are you?

I am great!

I see some trucks outside,
the dumpster's outside.

Yeah. There's lots going on.

I know. I love the sound
and look of work.

It's all gutted,
and now we can see that
the roof's a real mess.

I'm gonna go, look.
I won't go all the way in.

You can-- up to the door
no further than that.

-Okay. But, I have
to see it.
-Don't get hit by a brick.

Like, I need to-- Wow!

- See all that water damage on the rafters?
- -Wow.

Yeah, so, you can see
the worst of it there.

There's spots at
the front of the house,
the back of the house.

It's all over.

The previous owners
had buckets
collecting water in the attic.

- That's insane.
- But--

So, new roof?

New roof.

How much?

It's gonna be between,
$20,000-$22,000,

depending on, you know,
how much of that rotten wood
we have.

I'm maxed out,
to tell you the truth.

All right, well...

One day, I would like to say,

great seeing you,

-but, um-- Okay.
-One day I'll have good news.

-But, it's not today.
-Yeah.

- All right. I'll let you know
what they say, but...
- Okay.

-...we gotta move forward.
-Sound's good.

Thanks, Matt.

You've been busy.

Come back here.
Right back here,

-we do have one huge challenge
to talk about.
-Okay.

And I want you
to look right up there.

- Ooh, what is that?
- -Oh, yeah, what is that?

Remember the ceiling leak
that we saw was really small

- in your dining room...
- Mm-hmm.

...and I was like,
you know, Matt and I,

we kind of just brushed it off
because it was so small.

It didn't seem
like it was new,

well, that's where
it's coming from.
And this is fresh.

-Even the leak
down the side wall...
-Oh, wow.

...that's a new leak,

and old leaks everywhere
above you, Matteo,

we can't patch that up.

-We have to completely
replace the entire roof
-Oh, my God.

-Oh.
-including these boards,

- Okay.
- -because they're damaged.

- I mean, you know, the water has just ruined it.
- -That's a lot.

Yeah, which is really too bad.

- And there's a pretty hefty cost for that.
- -Okay.

It's going to be...

-$20,000-$22,000.
-Whoa.

-All right, yeah,
that's a lot of money
-Yeah, that's a lot of money.

I don't want to ask you guys
for any more money

-because this renovation
is already costing so much.
-Yeah.

But, my idea is that,
we can keep the windows,

and then that's the same cost
that the roof is going to be,

so I can just swap that out.

We have
to replace the windows.

Typically, I have a cushion
for these unexpected costs,

but, to the tune of
$20,000 $22,000,
I don't have that.

Twenty two thousand dollars
is not just a little
tiny bit of money.

I understand that.

But I mean, we're already
this far into the project,

it's got to be done.

I think we're just
gonna have to find a way

to come up with the funds.

So, I think that's the answer.

There's really
no other option here.

- We'll go ahead and get started.
- -Let's do it.

- All right!
- -All right, this is exciting!

Come, I'm gonna
usher you out of your house

- so I can keep working.
- Okay.

All right.
Thank you guys for coming.

Whoo!

Don't let
Sara's pretty smile fool you.

She's not happy with me,

and she's definitely
not happy with Matteo.

I don't think
we should spend
that kind of money.

I don't think
we really have
a choice right now.

I completely understand
Sara's concern.

I mean, $20,000

on top of their current budget

is a lot of money.

But I gotta make it
work for them.

If David finds us something
that we could potentially
see ourselves in,

we are moving.

If David finds us
the perfect house,
we'll move.

Thank you.

Sara
and Matteo were able
to find additional funds,

so, the new roof is going on.

Framing on the inside
is happening,

and things
are moving right along.

Hey, Page.

Hey, Matteo, Sara!
Come in, look.

Wow, look at this.

Welcome to your
almost new home.

Oh, my God.

So take it in.

- Holy cow.
- Yeah.

What a change.

Looks a little different
than the old house?

Yeah.

Can you guys see
how the design
is coming to life now?

Everything looks so much
more open and bright.

There is one more thing,
Page and Matt,

that I just wanted
to ask you about.

Since we're already doing
the work in the house,

that now would be
the ideal time

to upgrade the HVAC
and the heating system.

Right now,
we're on an oil tank
with an oil furnace.

It's expensive,

it's really inefficient.

We just want
to get that out of here.

We'd love to upgrade
to a heat pump.

And so, we'd like
to see if we can
add this to the project.

Matteo, you went
and got your own quotes.

You do know we do this
for a living, right?

-I'm just trying
to move things along.
-Oh, but--

Um...

this says $20,000.

It's important that it's done.

I think now is
the time for us to do it.

There are some
government rebate programs

that will actually bring
the costs down.

Well, we don't disagree
that now's the time
to do it for sure.

You've got a great deal.

But squeezing
this as well into
our already tight timeline,

makes it really challenging.

The only reason I'm agreeing
to it is that I think
it will be good for resale.

I will get it done.

We'll add it to the list,

and I'll give you
an update soon.

- All right,
sounds great. Thanks, Page.
- Sounds good.

- Thanks, Matteo.
Bye, Sara.
-See you, bye.

Between me and you,
is this even realistic?

Honestly, probably not.

But, we're gonna
do what we can.

Well, one thing I want to know
is how you're gonna get

that big old oil tanker
out of the basement.

I don't know.

I just found out
I was doing it,
two minutes ago.

That is
an incredible view.

Now, yes,

we're about 10 minutes
from their house,

but, they should be impressed.

And the house
is beyond impressive.

Completely renovated,

four bedrooms,

six bathrooms,

open concept main floor,

finished basement.

And the biggest surprise...

is going to be the price.

Good morning.

- Good morning, David.
- Good morning.

-How you doing?
-Hello.

Good. How are you?

Good. Welcome.
Great neighborhood.

Ten minutes from your house.

Are you familiar
with this at all?

-We do know
this neighborhood, yeah.
-Do you?

Great house, huh?

I'm excited
to see this house.

I think you'll be excited too.

Come on,
it's a great house.

Go ahead.

- Oh, wow.
- This is really nice.

Very spacious entranceway.

That's space
that you need.

You've got two closets
at your front door.

The detailing throughout.

This is amazing.

This feels brand new.

You've got a formal
little living room here,

plus, you've got...

a little dining area here,

- with this incredible...
- Oh, wow.

- Oh, wow.
- ...ceiling.

Look at this chandelier
and this fireplace.

That is so beautiful.

We're not getting this
at our place now,
that's for sure.

Let's keep going.

You've got your
main floor, powder room,

which is, kind of,
nicely tucked away...

- Oh, wow.
- ...from the main living area.

Right, you've got
a little hallway, almost,

and then you have all of this.

This is your main area.

- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.

There, this is the open space
you're looking for.

- Yeah.
- This is amazing.

This is space
that we're not going to get.

This is
a really nice space, David.

I mean,
the height of the ceilings,
the size of those windows...

We can't get floor-to-ceiling
windows in our house.

Look at these countertops,
I love the color.

And, look at all
the drawers and pullouts.

- Wow.
- - David] There's a ton of storage.

You have to admit,
this is a really nice kitchen.

I-- You-- You've done
a good job here, David.

I mean, like,
there's a ton of space.

Really, there's not a lot
to complain about.

All right,
let's hit up the second floor.

This stairway
to the second floor.

Come on.

- Yes.
-You're impressed, Matteo.
Are you not?

No, this is nice.

This is
your primary bedroom.

- Wow.
- -You've got enough space for a king sized bed,

and I love the combo
of the walk in closet,

and the bathroom.

Wow, this is
a dream closet.

We would be lucky
to have this.

Look at
that shower, Matteo.

Don't tell me
you don't want that shower.

This is really nice.

So much space, so bright.

I don't have to be a genius
to know that there's no way

you're going
to get this from Page.

It's just not--
It's not feasible.

I don't even think
we're getting windows
in our en suite.

So bedroom number one,

this is the smallest
of the bedrooms.

And like all the bedrooms,
it has its own bathroom.

This would be perfect
for one of the girls.

And the
bedrooms get bigger,
and better as you go.

Oh, wow.

I mean, look at
the walk in closet,

and look at that bathroom.

This
is really beautiful.

Bedroom number four,

double closets,

- again, a full four piece bathroom...
- - Sara] Wow.

...with a tub and shower.

I mean,
the windows are all massive.

Lots of natural light.

Another really nice bedroom.

So this house,
we've only seen two floors,

and it's already delivered
more than what you have
in your current house.

Wait till you
see the basement.

It's also something
you're never gonna have.

Come on.

And a fully finished space.

Look at this.

This would be an incredible
play area for your kids.

There's a ton of room.

It's finished, it's done.

I mean, you've done
a really good job here, David.

Yeah, and they've
also got a laundry room.

- Nice.
- -Plus, you've got a bedroom suite.

Definitely gave us
a lot to think about.

All right,
let's go talk money.

All right, Matteo,
you've seen all three floors
of finished space.

How do you
feel about it, overall?

I mean, this is
a really nice house.

It's got a ton of space,
a lot of nice finishes,

it's new, it's fresh,

it's clean, a lot of light.

I mean, you've kind of hit
the mark on this one, David.

What do you think?

This house is perfect.

It is so big, nice,
bright, open.

I thought
the last house was it,

but this one just
blew it out of the water.

This-- this is it.

What do you think
this house is listed at?

Two million fifty?

What do you think?

I think
it's worth $2.1 million.

This house is listed
at $2,050,000.

So, it is below
the top end of your budget.

-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah.

Where do you go from here?
Is this it?

This-- this is it for me.

Like, I can't
see anything better.

Layout, rooms, space,

this house is perfect.

You've given us
a lot to think about
with this one, David.

A lot more than-- than
maybe I thought we would.

So do I need to show Matteo,
any more houses?

I don't think we need
to see any more homes.

All right. All right, awesome.

-Pleasure, pleasure, guys.
-Thank you.

-Thanks, David.
-We'll be in touch.

-All right. Take care.
-Take care.

-Okay, thanks.
-Bye, now.

In her mind,
Sara is already living here.

And why wouldn't she go there?

This place looks incredible.

And, there's no furniture,
there's nothing in here.

I mean,

David kind of hit the nail
on the head with this one.

This is the house that I want.

Okay, understood.

If they don't see and take

the opportunity, this house
offers them, over theirs...

it'll be a future regret.

There are
so many things
happening inside the house.

Insulation is being sprayed,
drywall is being put up,

new floors are going down,
new windows are going in,

painting is happening,
and the new kitchen
is being installed.

I hope all this work
will be enough

to get Sara and Matteo
to want to stay.

The team and I
worked really hard
to complete this reno,

and I'm very happy
with how it turned out.

I just hope Sara
and Matteo are too.

- Hi, Sara,
-Hi.

- Matteo.
- Hi, Page.

-Hi, how are you?
-Oh, my God.

- I'm great.
- Oh, my gosh. Wow.

-Look at this wallpaper.
-Come in.

This is
a different house.

I remember when I first came,
you had, small coat closet,

and now you have
custom built-ins.

Now, what do you think
about the tile?

They're so pretty.

They match
the floor perfectly.

I love
the checkerboard pattern.

And, I was able to enlarge
your case opening

-to get this arch.
-Yeah.

-This looks great, because
it's unrecognizable.
-Yeah.

Yay!
This is a good start.

Okay, well,
let's go on the tour.

- Well, let's go in your baby's room.
- -Okay.

- All-righty. Oh, wow.
- All right.

-This is so cute.
-Oh, my God. Oh, my goodness.

Wow, this
is really adorable.

She's gonna love this space.

- All new windows in your whole house.
- -Yeah.

- Sara] Yeah.
- - Page] There's so much natural light coming in,

and the black trim,

it just elevates the house
even that much more.

Worth the extra cost, Page.

Let's go to the hall bath.

These are adorable.

Yay!

So, this is good, Sara?

They're
gonna love this.

Good. Well, let's see
your eldest daughter's
bedroom.

Come on in.

Oh, my gosh.

This is the rainbow room

- she asked for.
- Page] Yes, it is.

She is going to be
over the moon with this.

So far, we're checking boxes.

-Yes. Yeah.
-Checking boxes, Page. Yeah.

I don't know, you guys.

- Your main bedroom.
- Yeah.

Sara and Matteo.

Wow.

- I don't even know what to say.
- - Sara] Yeah.

Right? Just gotta
take it all in, like,

just such a huge difference
from our bedroom before.

It's hard to believe
this is our old living room.

- Yeah. Yeah, I know.
I can't believe it.
-Yeah.

We have blackout shades there

- for privacy.
- Sara] Yeah, that's great.

But this en suite.

I mean, this is gonna be
the talk of the neighborhood,

I'm telling you.

- Oh, wow.
- Wow.

This is cr--
Oh, my goodness.

And the tiles, like,

the way they're all carried
through the shower,
and the floor and up the wall.

That's so nice.

Well, we have
a big grand finale.

- All right.
- All right.

-Okay.
-Let's go check it out.

Before I take you
into your new

living room, dining area,
kitchen space.

I just want to take in

-this extension of
the entryway right here...
-Yeah.

... and see how
you're feeling about it.

Because it's so much wider,
so much more open
and inviting.

- It really changes the feel of the house.
- Yeah.

And one of those reasons
is because,

if you look
at your chevron pattern

-with your hardwood floors,
- Matteo] Yeah.

it kind of take
s your eyes out

and then up, and, like,
what's there?

It's like a pathway

right into your brand new
entertaining space.

Oh, wow.

Just come
and take it all in.

- Matteo] Wow. The-- Yeah.
- Sara] This
is really different.

It feels so much more
open and spacious
than it did before.

I just-- I can't believe
this is the same space.

Right? Like,
look at the ceiling.

That's how we used
your attic space.

It's now 12 feet.

Yeah, it definitely
feels bigger in here,
for sure.

It doesn't even feel like
the same house.

Come over here,
there's so much more to see.

I love
the countertops.

It's such a modern
looking kitchen in this space.

Now your living room.

Because I know, Sara,

- you thought that maybe it would feel cramped.
- - Sara] Mm-hmm.

I don't feel cramped.

I can't believe
how much seating

you actually were able
to get in here.

My favorite part
of all of this,
is it doesn't matter

where we are
in the space, Page,

we can always see the kids.

Well, David's going
to be coming soon,

and I just want to remind you,

when you guys
bought this house,

you could see
the potential in it.

And I guarantee you,

I don't care
what David showed you.

I know he did not show you

- this backyard and the creek,
-Mm-hmm.

and being able to watch
your kids grow up back here.

So, I'll talk to you guys
when it's time
to make the decision.

- Okay, thank you.
-I'm gonna get David.
You're welcome.

Whew, kind of shocking, huh?

It is a bit
of a transformation.

-It-- It is
a wild transformation...
-Yeah.

...from what it was,
and it's beautiful.

And, Page did
a phenomenal job.

And, I know that you guys
had a vision for this place
when you bought it.

-Yes.
-I do know that the house
we looked at,

completes the vision.

I mean, it gives you
pretty much everything
you could possibly want

for a house to take
your family into the future.

The main floor,

that was
ridiculously beautiful.

This main floor
is lifting a heavy load.

It's pretty much everything.

Yeah, the layout was great.

I mean, there's a lot
of functionality behind it,

so, I can't argue
with you there, David.

All the bedrooms
would be on the second floor.

Four bedrooms.

A huge primary bedroom
with tons of storage.

And an en suite
that was practically
the size of your bedroom here.

Yeah, that primary

-was beautiful.
-Hmm.

So, you have
a decision to make,

but I have some numbers
for you, first.

The pre reno value
of the house was $2.1 million.

The renovation budget
was $290,000.

The current evaluation
for the house is $2.6 million.

That is an increased value
of $500,000.

You guys can afford
another option,

and I think it's a good one.
All right?

-Sounds good.
-All right.

-Thanks, David.
-Thank you.

It's been a pleasure.

How you feeling?

Yeah, you sure
warmed them up for me,
I gotta tell you.

It was like
chipping ice out there.

Well, Sara has
a poker face today.

At the start,
I just couldn't see the vision

for what this space
would look like.

But, I really like
all the small details

that really cater
to our style and taste.

I feel really
conflicted about,

you know, whether or not
I'd want to stay or move.

I can't believe
I'm saying this,

but, you know,
I really did like that house
that David showed us.

I mean, I could really
see ourselves living there.

The house we looked at
was 3,500 square feet.

When do you take a breath?

We'll never get
the basement finished
at this house.

I didn't think that we would
be able to get the space

and the light
and everything that we have,

with the work that she's done.

It's hard to know what to do.

I don't know.
I guess we'll see.

-But before we go,
-Yeah?

I just want you to read
the message I left you.

Oh, look at that.

- All right, let's go.
- Page Turner.

Mm-hmm. Strikes again.

Okay, so, decision made?

It was a difficult decision.

You both gave us
a lot of things
to think about,

and a lot to consider.

All right, well,
now is the time
to let us know.

-Are you gonna love it?
-Or are you going to list it?

We are going to...

love it.

Really? You're gonna give up

on that incredible,
four bedroom house,
that gave you everything?

That house was really amazing.

Yeah. I mean,
you did a great job, David,

and it really made
the decision difficult.

But, Page, I mean, you just

did more than we ever thought
could be done with this house.

-And it just really
feels like a place...
-Aww.

...that we can
settle in with the girls

and really enjoy
for our family.

I humbly agree.

Congratulations, you guys.

I hope that
wasn't too painful.

Listen, it probably
would have been more painful
if he had said list it,

because I would have
had a heart attack.

So, it's probably a good thing
they loved it.

But, I told you that was
never gonna happen anyway.

It should've happened, though.

-It shouldn't have happened
-If you looked at the house

that I showed them,
it was ridiculous.

It was not even comparable.

Oh, would've,
should've, could've.

-But listen, that's not--
I'm giving you your credit.
-End of the day--

You did a great job in here.

It looks beautiful.

-It still hurts, though.
-I understand.

And you're still
buying me a drink.

I gotcha.

Sometimes, victory hurts.

Yeah, it does.

But, it sure does feel good.
