Where Is ‘Love It or List It’ Alum Hilary Farr Now?
For years, Love It or List It was one of HGTV‘s premier home design shows. The series featured designer Hilary Farr sparring with co-host and real estate agent David Visentin over whether their clients would love her home remodeling choices enough to keep their original house or put it on the market and buy a new home.
Farr’s history of both acting and design and home renovations made her a natural in front of the cameras, with charisma and confidence to spare. The show ran for 19 seasons from 2008 to 2023, but Farr shocked the watching world when she decided to walk away last December after more than 250 episodes.
She told People, “I’ve given it so many years of my life. It’s got me through hard times. It’s gotten the audience through hard times. It has evolved into a mainstay of people’s lives, and it’s been incredibly gratifying. But now it’s time for me to move on and meet new challenges.”
Her comments became even sharper when she told Vulture that she felt the show was “becoming boring,” adding, “I don’t want to be bored.”
Will Love It or List It return without Hilary Farr?
Yes. Following Farr’s departure, the future of the show was up in the air. However, HGTV finally confirmed in February 2025 that a new season was coming. The network described it as a “revamped” version of the hit show, with Season 20 slated for a summer 2025 premiere. Farr’s replacement as the show’s designer was revealed to be Page Turner, who has worked on Flip or Flop: Nashville, Fix My Flip, and Rock the Block. Visentin is set to return in his real estate agent role. The next season of the show is premiering on Tuesday, June 23.
Where is Hilary Farr now?
So what is Farr up to nowadays? Well, she hasn’t completely left the world of television. Since 2021, she has been starring in a new show for the network titled Tough Love with Hilary Farr, in which she helps families control their decorative dysfunction with creative designs. She also served as a judge for a Detroit-based “Furniture Flip Challenge” and dismissed claims that she was in dire health in 2026 after announcing her remission from breast cancer in 2022.
As of her December 2023 interview with Vulture, at least, she has no intentions of returning for another round of Love It or List It.
“As far as I knew, [the matter of her departure] had been put to bed, but then the network came back, and they were lovely and flattering and friendly, and they made a very generous offer on all levels. It was very nice, and I had to think about it. But I still came to the same answer. I just can’t do it again. They’ve been very gracious, though, as has David,” she explained of her refusal to reconsider.
Going forward, Farr said she plans to continue filming Tough Love and has “all sorts of irons in the fire on other projects.”

I’ll miss David as much as Hillary. They were such a charming duo. I wish Hillary would write a book with lots of photos that describes her approach to looking at a floor plan and thinking through how to change it AND tips on interior design. I LOVE her taste!

Page cannot replace Hillary. Never liked her show with her husband - she's not a great designer and her personality isn't there. Love David - miss Hillary - she is a fantastic designer.

This new HG cant seem to wrap my head around the newbie , I now watch Hillary on David reruns such a chemistry. I wish Hillary all the best , I watched how some of the parties who had their home fixed by her so horrible to her and expecting her to work miracles with such low budgets. terrible I often wondered how she turned the other cheek and continued on . 3 cheers for that.

I have seen the new Love It or List It with David and Page. They seem to make a great duo. I do miss Hilary though. The sparing she and David did added to the show and the designs were great. I enjoyed every old episode and am looking forward to the new.

I love both of Hilary’s shows, and in Tough Love, she seems much more compassionate. I still watch Love It Or List It. David is fun!

I don't like "Tough Love." In my opinion, it's just "Love It or List It" without David ...and it doesn't work.

I am sorry to see Hillary leave the show. I loved the chemistry between David and Hillary. I am sure a new host is needed but it won’t be the same and may turn me off. I have not seen Hilary’s new show.

Loved Love it or List it with David ❤️ … NOT a fan of tough love with only Hilary Farr

David and Hillary were terrific duo, but page is a very talented designer and there’s a little less edge to their arguing which seems more genuine for those two. I really like tough love with Hillary. I think it really gives people an idea of what they can achieve. All in all I wish everybody the best of luck. Thank goodness for reruns.

I miss Hillary she is a gifted designer. There is no one that can take her place. Brook does not hold a candle to Hillary. Please come back.
