While HGTV has reliable favorites such as Fixer to Fabulous and Home Town Takeover, some of the network’s other shows, including House Hunters and Married to Real Estate, are struggling in the ratings.

According to Collider, citing Nielsen ratings, House Hunters has hovered around the 500,000 viewer mark since the beginning of this year. More concerning, the show’s numbers in the key 18-49 demo haven’t reached higher than 0.12 this entire year so far. This month, the show has averaged just 0.06 in the key demo.

House Hunters, which follows individuals, couples, and families looking for new homes, has been a long-time program on HGTV, debuting on the network back in October 1999 and airing over 1,902 episodes to date.

Married to Real Estate, hosted by real estate broker and designer Egypt Sherrod and her husband, builder Mike Jackson, has also struggled in the ratings this year. Season 4, which premiered on March 12, has dropped almost 200,000 viewers from its Season 3 average. Its most recent episode, on April 9, amassed 427,500 total viewers.

The show’s demo numbers are even worse, with every Season 4 episode so far below 0.05 in the 18-49 bracket.

As of Thursday, April 10, 2025, Married to Real Estate ranks as HGTV’s fifth most popular show, while House Hunters comes in fourth. This puts them behind Renovation Aloha (in third), Fixer to Fabulous (in second), and Home Town Takeover (in first).

Erin and Ben Napier‘s Home Town Takeover continues to be a bigger winner for the network. Since its third season premiere last month, the show has regularly brought in over 800,000 viewers per episode and around 0.10 in the key demo.

Jenny and Dave Marrs‘ Fixer to Fabulous also continues to be a strong performer. Since March, the renovation series has hovered around 700,000 total viewers and 0.7 in the 18-49 demo.

Another show struggling to make a ratings impact is Flipping 101 with Tarek El Moussa, which returned on April 3. The season premiere brought in just 314,500 total viewers and a 0.03 in the key demo. The second episode on April 10 improved slightly, with 339,500 total viewers and a 0.06 in the key demo.

    I like House Hunter International because it shows us other parts of the world. I have no interest in the United States House Hunters. I look at the real designers such as Married to Real, Eypt, Fixer to Fabulous, Jenny, Down Home Fab, and the Chicago designer. As one person said the rest are background noise to me.

        I like Married to Real Estate. Reasonable makeovers the average person can afford and the old my first place or my first home shows.Those shows encourage the average persons and new home buyers the best.

        I find it so funny that these mostly well educated people move to a foreign country expecting it to be like our extravagant much more newly built homes instead of 150 year old multi-family homes and units, always wanting to be close to the always more expensive city center or near the popular beaches and don't want to pay much. Then they are educated by what they are shown rather than doing research or watching the program at least twice!

    People have finally grown fed up with the delusional makeovers that this network has been trying to sell us! No way can so many of these rehabs be done for the prices they allude to nor are they truthful about the total costs and time required to complete them. Additionally, most of the key people spotlighted in these shows barely pick up a hammer or nail as part of the completion of the transformations. This network was once relevant when costs were half of what they are today, but they no longer are.

      Totally agree with you...the extravagant makeovers with delusional budgets is tiring and unrealistic. Over it

      That is what is so appealing about Married to Real Estate husband wife and Uncle all pick up a hammer paint brush etc and the pricing and time lines are spot on including the unforseen mold and termite damage so prevalent in the south.

      I am a house flipper and I cant see them making a profit worth the work on so many of these jobs. The designs are too upscale for thecaverage person and in todays market they make no sense

      5 1

    4. G

      GoldScooter

      I agree. I believe that some of the design could look as nice at a less costly amount. Example if you need a new heating/ cooling system. Why not cut in a $30. Handle versus a $100 knob.

    5. G

      GoldSubmarine

      While I agree with you about most of the stars of the shows not doing much of the work, you have to realize that if they did we'd only get like 2 episodes a season because it would take them months to finish one house. They have to have several crews each working on different houses at the same time in order to give us 10 to 15 episodes a season.

    I miss shows like Decorating Cents and Design on a Dime. Most had nice makeovers, refreshed a room without spending thousands of dollars. I wish these type of shows would come back.

      OrangeWeights

      Yes!!! I agree and all of my friends do as well. Trading Spaces is what got all of this started, I think...House makeovers that the owners can do. Design on a dime had great ideas

    Married to Real Estate is one of my favorite shows. However I do wish the network would promote them as they do others. And i would like to see more shows that offer more affordable ways to beautify your home. The average person can't afford some of these pricey extravagant decorations or Renovations.

      HGTV doesn’t promote Married to Real Estate like other shows because this couple is black.

    House Hunters isn't appointment television, it's background noise. The only time a lot of people "watch" it is late at night lying in bed to have some ambient noise.

    I love Renovation Aloha. They take the most run down in beautiful Hawaii and save them. Such beautiful locations. They are up against huge shipping costs and are really working hard to be successful. Such a wonderful family. I really hope they win Rock The Block. Allison and Michelle deserved to win the kitchen but I really hope these Rookies take them down. I love farmhouse fixer but Jordan has no bussiness on that Rock the Block team. Where is Christina? Who can resist Ben and Erin. Such a sweet couple helping bring back life to small towns.

    I love Married to Real Estate. Another HGTV fave of mine is 100 Day Dream Home which starts their new season this week. I don't have cable so I watch HGTV shows on Discovery+. I hope streaming viewership factors into ratings

    Where is Bargain Block??

    I understand that many people enjoy seeing elevators installed in over decorated, overpriced homes on a beach.

    With our economy being what it is, I would imagine viewers would enjoy the shows that give the ideas, simple solutions and design on a budget they can handle without going into huge debt. Reality!

    Bargain Block is the best.

    Why is HGTV showing Old MOVIES instead of Home and Garden TV shows, especially on Saturdays? There are plenty of movie channels! What "Key Demographic" are they trying to serve and why?

    12

  17. F

    Felicia

    The problem with the Flipping El Moussa's is it lacks the same chemistry that Flip or Flop had. Tarek has gotten too big and the risk feels pretty minimal and Heather is probably perfectly nice but there's a reason they did The Flip Off. People don't relate to her the way they do Christina. For better or worse Tarek and Christina made better TV.

    Personally Egypt and Mike are my favorite of those mentioned in this article, the chemistry and the style abs the fun as well as the family life dynamic is what draws me in. I cannot stand Ben and Erin, her accent annoys me to no end. Fixer to Fabulous is a last resort for me.

      I miss the gardening shows too, it's really not Home & Garden TV anymore. More like over the top renovations that probably cost more than is claimed.

    I’m a HGTV junkie! I watch Home Town, Fixer to Fabulous, 100 Day Dream Home etc but I love Married To Real Estate! They are so genuine especially the relationship that they have with each other and family! I have watched all of their seasons and I have seen how they have grown. Egypt’s designs are beautiful and she definitely has experience in real estate! She has been doing this for over 14 years and her husband has been right by her side. HGTV should keep them!

    I don't watch the Tarek or Christina shows anymore or My lottery dream home shows, and the only reason I watch house hunters is that most of the time it's just a fill-in until the local news comes on.

    What about viewers 50+? We are the ones who have more expendable income so why is HGTV or the author so focused on 18-49?

    Married to real estate is so underrated it will always be #One in our house somebody got it wrong I haven’t heard of any complaints about their work and they have a fresh new take on renovations and stick to their clients budgets and exceed client expectations wish they were in my city

    I wish they'd get back to doing shows of things regular people could achieve. I'm really bummed that we no longer have a show with Mina as she was one of my favorite hosts on the network. I'm hoping they bring Windy City Rehab back as I absolutely love and adore Allison Victoria! But I do miss the days of growing up and watching shows like Room by Room where things were done on a serious budget and everyday folks could do them yourself. PS I am glad that Rock The Block just came back.

    The main controversy surrounding HGTV's "House Hunters" revolved around the show's perceived lack of authenticity. While the show presents itself as a realistic portrayal of people searching for and buying new homes, evidence surfaced suggesting that some aspects were fabricated, scripted, or manipulated to create a specific narrative.

    Here's a breakdown of the key issues:

    False Premises:

    Some participants, like Bobi Jensen, claimed that producers steered their story, influencing the narrative and even changing details about their reason for moving. Bobi Jensen's blog post and other participants have since alleged that they were shown homes that were not for sale or that they already owned.

    This is why I don't watch House Hunters anymore. They lost all credibility.

    Don’t like fixer to fab or hometown, too country bumpkin, love married to real estate, never watched ren aloha. I don’t live in Hawaii not interested in homes there. I love No Demo Reno, love Allison Victoria, Tamara Day, unsellable houses, all great shows.

    OliveSword

    I have watched all the renovation shows on HGTV. I have my favorites but, overall they all do a great job. I think having old episodes on before the new episode, is a no no. Because your watching it then notice another show on a different channel, and most people will rationalize it by ," I've been watching the show," so it easier to change the station to another show marked "new!"

    Can’t stand Jenny on Fixer to Fabulous. Her always calling him “babe” in her whiny voice gets to be pukey! And do we always have to have shoes that shove their kids on us all the time? I just want to see the renovations take place. I get it, they have kids.

    I have quit watching Home Town and Home Town Take Over. I would say for about the last 3 seasons Home Town does not have e a full season of remodels. They have a few remodels and all the others end up being down memory road which are lips of homes they have done in the past. It’s because they are doing Home Town Take Over. They should do the latter when they complete a full season of Home Town. I got tired of watching reruns on their new seasons. So, I have quit watching both shows. I do however love Married to Real Estate. I love the remodels they do. Egypt and Mike do such great jobs on the houses it’s a breath of fresh air. I love their personalties and the way they work together. I hope their ratings will go back up they deserve that.

    I go to bed early, so you moved married to real estate from 8:00 to 9. :00 and that's very difficult for me to be up till 9:00. I don't even understand why it was moved and the new show was put in its time slot. But I think if you change the hours of the shows and put them on earlier at least around 6:00 between 6:00 and 7:00 I think the ratings will go back up but during the hours that you put them on people are going to bed. A lot of people are going to work the next day so it's hard to try to stay woke and watch. These shows after hours that there be broadcast. Maybe you can move the time for all of them and they will pick up on their ratings.

    Just say no to white and grey already. I’m so thankful I bought a home with beautiful wood cabinets. I don’t want bright colors but a touch of color would be wonderful. Don’t forget every house that is renovated is also staged so what it looks like after these shows is completely different unless everything we see is included in the cost of the renovation. Not.

    I loved No Demo Reno, would love to see it return. And get rid of My Lottery Dream Home, it’s a horrible show! I change the channel every time it’s on, prefer to watch Beachfront Bargain Hunt instead. I really enjoy Tarek’s house flipping show and would watch it more if I knew when it is airing. House Hunters has gotten tired, same old same old. Although I do enjoy the International House Hunters programs.

      RedBowtie

      I have to agree. “My Lottery Dream Home,” more often than not features people who have no idea how to style the home they’ve bought with their winnings, and have no sense of direction or taste. It actually becomes frustrating and sad to watch. The sooner THIS show is canceled, the better.

    Property Brothers, no Demo Reno, Help I recked my house, I Love these

    because of house hunters.

      RedBowtie

      I agree. At this point in time, “House Hunters” has outlived its usefulness. On the other hand, watching skilled designers enter a situation and completely transform what was there or introduce amazing new features is an inspiring, satisfying hour for viewers.

  53. C

    CyanBike

    I love Egypt and Mike, but renovating million dollar homes, that already look fine, doesn't grab people. Take something more relatable to average viewers and make it gorgeous! That's how Erin and Ben and Jenny and Dave grabbed us.

    I'm a big hgtv watcher. Some of my faves: No Demo Reno -- her personality is fun and I love her on-screen narrative notes. Fixer/Fab, Alison Victoria, Nate/Jer., House Hunters Int'l, Lottery, Love/List (was my top fave. Read that David + a new designer are returning), Home Town, the Detroit guys, and a few of the more obscure shows like the couple in Galveston, the couple who found historic homes or something like that, the one with the brother and sister who is a phenomenal designer. The one with the quirky woman designer. The less popular shows are still interesting enough. They don't need prime timeslots. I only saw the stain remover guy once, but I wouldn't mind an occasional show with him.

    I would like to know what happened to Unsellable Houses ? I love that program. I'm coming from the fact that I don't have a hundred thousand saved. I'm very willing to have someone else reap the benefits and make my home an enjoyable place again to live for someone.

    I would really, really love to see No Demo Reno back. It's my very favorite. I also love Fixer to Fabulous and Married to Real Estate. Wish there were more of the Property Brothers (like their older shows) and I wish Nate and Jeremiah would come back with new shows. Don't care about House Hunters (way too many episodes showing) and I don't care for International at all.

      For myself,Hometown and fixer to fabulous and no demo reno and definitely nate and jeremiah are my favorites. I like them better than house hunters Or the flipping shows because we're not just watching somebody make money.We're learning how to make our own homes nicer. The thing is the rapport on the teams on the shows like hometown and fixer. The tone was a source of comfort for me when I lost my boyfriend.It helped with the healing of that. Jenny and dave can be fixing up a house and then when they leave each other while they're doing the show they'll tell each other love you. Mike and egypt are loving to each other and seem to have a good relationship. But I can't really relate to anything.They're doing as far as the houses.They're fixing up in the kind of money that they're working with. I like a show like no demo Reno.Because she's funny and doesn't take herself.So seriously and she's always showing you how to do something with very little which is encouraging.

    Whose trying to convince us that shows in the top five are "struggling" to stay afloat (and why?) If true, it's the network that's struggling, and losing! Resist the political pressure and keep airing and promoting diverse programming. The political climate will change, and loyal viewers will stick with the network! I love watching HGTV!

      Almost every show has gay couples.

      They don’t represent the average home owners. HGTV has a Liberal agenda and it has become a turn off for many people. Remember Bud Light.

        About 10% of the population identifies as LGBTQ so it’s representative of people. Gay people own homes. And eat in kitchens. It’s not an agenda…it’s people being people.

        PurpleRing

        You are exactly correct! It( HGTV Brass) has gone beyond ridiculous when, for example, they decided to outlaw the term 'Master Bedroom' because it's not Politically Correct! Now REALLY, what the heck is wrong with them that they think their viewers are so sensitive and might get their feelings hurt with an ADJECTIVE! Remember the saying we learned in Kindergarten...Sticks and Stones may Break my Bones but Words will Never HURT ME! HGTV, grow up please.

    I like Married to Real-estate but Hgtv doesn't promote them or show reruns of their shows as much as you do other shows during off season so of course people forget about them and they don't know when their coming back on with new shows it's a good show but not promoted very well

      When I first got hooked on HGTV, most of the shows were about fixing 1 or 2 rooms....kitchen and dining area, for instance. That's what real people do, not a dramatic whole house makeover. Who has that kind of money! Candice Olson, Vern somebody. I found good ideas on these shows. And love househunters.

  69. R

    RedBee

    I agree these shows are being cancelled for political reasons-- not money. All HGTV wants now are shows hosted by married straight white couples who have a bunch of kids. Just look at the shows that were cancelled. Bargain Block was hosted by a gay couple. CANCELLED. Married to Real Estate hosted by a black couple. CANCELLED. Christina Hack's show hosted by a single woman with kids. CANCELLED. Farmhouse Fixer was hosted by gay former boy band member. Izzy Does It was hosted by a Mexican. Now ask yourself. How many shows hosted by married white couples have been cancelled? NONE! Not even the very boring Down Home Fab. Is this show making HGTV money? NO. It is time for us to boycott HGTV. They haven in to the anti DEI movement.

  70. P

    PurplePopsicle

    It's purposely done and the answer is very obvious.

  71. O

    OrangeBus

    So you choose to cancel Married to Estate and thus doing so, you also choose to lose many who enjoy watching this show. They are a plus to the Black community. Business ethic, work and home life. This is encouraging. We have to often been denied the opportunity to excel. With the climate and atmosphere of the day, to some this is viewed as a negative in that when a black person achieve they get deleted or erased. Another form of oppression. Mmmm.

    GreenHat

    All these shows are getting to be the same. They give average Joes unrealistic expectations on remodeling or trying to DIY. How about sharing things that real average joes can DIY and things we can do inexpensively to improve our homes? I'd rather see organizing shows than doing a 100K reno on a kitchen. I can't afford a 100K reno on my kitchen, but organization can help me make what I have work better.

    I agree with every other comment made. I can't imagine paying for a whole house makeover and every house looking the same. "Light, bright and airy". Come on. Nobody has hundreds of thousands of dollars to do that kind of renovation. Time for something new. As for house hunters, I get tried for years to like it but it's so stupid. They bad mouth everything they look at and then say the made compromises for their partner. Oh please!

    I'm hooked on HGTV and I love all of the shows especially Married to real estate because of the family dynamics. I would like to see more of uncle Mark. Egypt an Mike is the real deal and I can tell through the show that they have master thier craft. Mike is spot on with pricing. I'm not that I'm not that interested in all of the particulars but the before and after Wows me every time. I love Egypt and Mike Married to real estate.

  83. G

    Gary Smith

    I really love the show married to real estate I think it shows the talents of Egypt and her husband Mikes brilliance to renovate home's for there clients, however I don't think that HGTV is fair in promoting the show as much as they should they need more airtime I don't think that HGTV is fair in promoting shows for African Americans as a whole

    I love Married to Real Estate. (My favorite). Bring back Nate and Jeremiah, No Demo Reno and Bargain Block. I like Fixer to Fabulous but, sometimes Jenny can't be annoying. Down Home, there's not an episode that you see something BLACK!!!. I think Egypt and Mike are on another level. Their style is different from everybody else. I think they need to come on at 8:00 instead of 9:00.

  86. C

    CyanPumpkin

    HGTV needs to back to basics that made it so great. Each time I click on the channel I see the same 2 or 3 shows and most are the property brothers that are so over the top media hugs. Those 2 sell everything on TV !

  87. O

    OrangeBottle

    I agree of what happened to realistic projects and budgets. It's like the ahow property brothers. They meet with some couple in their late 20s with moderate jobs. They are asked what they are looking for then they say their budget is around 900k to no more than 1.3 million. Come on.

  88. O

    Olive8Ball

    Home and yard makeover shows are definitely more preferred than watching people find a home. How long will it take the execs to realize that and quit wasting money on House Hunters and Lottery House Hunt?

  89. C

    CyanDog

    Married to Real Estate is 1 of my favorite shows to catch. Not just my favorite HGTV show. I happen to be a man of color and that couple represents my culture in the best way possible. I think Mike is extraordinary in his skill set no different then Dave Mary's. Due to the appeal of this show they have steered me and my wife on the fit and finishes in our forever home. Unfortunately, the appeal of this power couple is probably more watched by black folks as most not all white Americans still prefer to watch Chip & Joanna, Dave & Jenny. I wish and think people who do not watch this team are missing out. Not to mention Egypt is phenomenal in her multifaceted skill set of designer, entrepreneur and realtor. I am excited every Wednesday to be able to catch the next episode of what is happening with these 2. I need them helping myself in Aiken during the build of our house.

    MarkJ

    I think HGTV is loosing out on new profits and brand sponsorships by not having eye catching shows. The Gen Z and X are looking for more substance than buying or fixing a home. What about fixing a cave up or a show with someone turning buses into home all over the world. What about gardening programs mixed with food programs? I guarantee they’re losing product sponsors behind their decisions.

    1. R

      RedBowtie

      Whoa. Seriously? I enjoy “Married to Real Estate” for their expertise and wisdom in how to best find a property and buy it smartly, and then transform it with design skills and Mike’s abilities in construction. Their race doesn’t factor in to any of this. I’m not unique in that. We’re being informed and inspired. Period. It never occurred to me to consider “race.” I believe most viewers are simply watching a great design show.

    I love the shoes mentioned except for House Hunters. Yawn!! What a snooze fest! The international show is at least somewhat interesting but it is on too often and too much! It would be awesome to have shows that went into detail how to add a frame to a mirror, revamp cabinets, or how to paint a door. You know like real life useful DIY stuff. Not showing a couple in their 20!s with a budget of 1.7 million buying their first home. Just not realistic. And sooooo boring!

    The programming has become boring, everything the same except for a very few exceptions.

    It's really hard to believe that Married to Real Estate ratings are struggling. They bring top notch results. Is this due to the stars being African American?

  128. C

    I love Married to Real Estate!!! I pray they renewed as they are solid and such a loving couple and family. I’ve always wondered about the ratings game and here we are again with probably a targeted sample. I’ve never been asked what I watch. Secondly their day and time were changed, unfair advantage. I also love Home Town. Erin and Ben have such a sweet love strong. They just mesh! Erin is just the sweetest and most compassionate personality on television. I would just love to have tea with her. Ben is just funny!! Then Fixer to Fabulous, Dave and Jenny. That Dave Marrs can build anything he can imagine! 😳 And they too make a telling storyline because Dave is calm and the go with the flow type guy, while Jenny is a little more energetic and verbal. When it comes to House Hunters, there needs to be more of a variety. HH International is intriguing, an opportunity to see other countries and the cost of living. The Takeover series is popular because a lot of us that are not in major cities are living that and can relate. Relatability + Variety = Winning Seasons. HGTV let me know if you need anymore of my thoughts and ideas.

    About the only shows we watch on HGTV anymore is Home Town with Ben and Erin Napier, and House Hunters International. We can't stomach Christine or Tarek no matter which show they try to push on us! Those two need to go! Our favorite show is Maine Cabin Masters on Magnolia! We never miss it! Where are the craft and gardening shows that drew us to HGTV in the first place?

    Fixer to Fabulous has gotten very boring lately, making everything "modern". Shout out to our guys from Detroit! (Don't let them hold you back, Keith, do your art thing!!) I haven't watched Property Brothers in years, they also bore me and are way over exposed. Renovation Aloha is a great show. Of course, yes, I adore Ben and Erin!!

    No Demo Reno is my favorite. The worst part is all of the music that they have added to these shows along with Hallmark Channel is now adding songs and music to their movies. It’s extremely annoying.

    I love No Demo Reno and the new Aloha Reno. Some other shows are getting old. Never liked Married to Real Estate, the hosts on other shows seem more realist then they are.

    Where are the simple garden shows?Where are the shows about simple living? HGTV migrated to shows all about spending lots of money on renovation and design rather than shows about simple living and design based on need. They seem to be caught up in trendy popular design which reflects their value system but not mine. It's enough already. I used to be an avid viewer but not anymore.

    I still miss Flipping Vegas. Her designs were so unusual and not the same old same old. I love Hometown and the Marrs too. Please bring back Flipping Vegas

    I absolutely love "Married To Real Estate"! The only show I watch on HGTV. Mike and Egypt are hard working, funny and entertaining. I can relate to their approach to upgrading living spaces. Mike and Egypt killed the competition on "Rock the Block", yet I don't think they received the recognition they deserved, just like the beautiful gay couple of season 1. Just another example of America's preference, which doesn't surprise me. Just don't discard the talents and value of Mike and Egypt along the way.

    I like House Hunters Renovations and any "bargain hunt" series, but I haven't seen new episodes in a long time.

    I think they are missing the fact that many of us record them to watch later. Plus March Madness just took over many viewers TVs. Being in the Top 5 is not a bad ranking. Also with scheduling on different nights throws us all off!

    I love Married to Real Estate!!! I pray they are renewed as they are solid and such a loving couple and family. I’ve always wondered about the ratings game and here we are again with probably a targeted sample. I’ve never been asked what I watch. Secondly their day and time were changed, unfair advantage. I also love Home Town. Erin and Ben have such a sweet love story. They just mesh! Erin is just the sweetest and most compassionate personality on television. I would just love to have tea with her. Ben is just funny!! Then Fixer to Fabulous, Dave and Jenny. That Dave Marrs can build anything he can imagine! 😳 And they too make a telling storyline because Dave is calm and the go with the flow type guy, while Jenny is a little more energetic and verbal. When it comes to House Hunters, there needs to be more of a variety. HH International is intriguing, an opportunity to see other countries and the cost of living. The Takeover series is popular because a lot of us that are not in major cities are living that and can relate. Relatability + Variety = Winning Seasons. HGTV let me know if you need anymore of my thoughts and ideas.

    I dislike the hosts on Love it or List it. Both are obnoxious. So over the boring Mousas and their Flipping marriages. Their work is also boring. Married To Real Estate need to rotate on off time. They're one of the best on the network!. It's not fake like most shows on HGTV. House Hunters International is my second favorite. I hope H(GARDEN) TV bring in some gardening and landscaping. Vegetable gardening will help families and communities trying to survive. Decorating in today's economy will boost your ratings too. Reality HGTV.
