‘Unsellable Houses,’ ‘Good Bones’ & More Must-See HGTV Reno Shows
Looking for a home-reno fix? Dying for a house-hunting extravaganza? HGTV has so many favorites to pick from, whether it is new episodes of Unsellable Houses, the final season of Good Bones, or following winners who are looking for My Lottery Dream Home. Scroll down for a peek at five picks worth watching.
Unsellable Houses
More twin wins! The sibling real-]estate team of Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Lamb returns for a 13-episode fourth season of selling the unsellable. The Washington State natives help struggling homeowners across the Pacific Northwest get their languishing properties up-to-date and in the best condition to hit the market. Lamb’s savvy covers the renovation, design, and staging, and Davis has the budget and negotiation know-how. Of course, taking a property from languishing to open-house ready is far from simple. Unexpected issues, costly repairs, and stressful timelines usually test the sisters’ fortitude, skill, and finances.
In the premiere, Unsellable’s pros help out a couple in Shoreline, Washington, whose spacious house has been on the market for more than a month. The homeowners have already purchased another home, so they are paying two mortgages. Reno help, stat! Returns Sunday, September 10

This go-round, family members need their know-how: Mina helps younger siblings Kelsy and Tad redesign their new homes. Recently Available
