HGTV’s ‘Rock the Block’ Season 6 Winning House Still Hasn’t Sold 7 Months Later
What To Know
- The winning house from Rock the Block Season 6, designed by Alison Victoria and Michel Smith Boyd, remains unsold nearly seven months after its $1.4 million listing.
- Fans and commenters have criticized the home’s design choices and its rural Grantsville, Utah, location.
- Of the four homes renovated during the season, only the DeBoer team’s house has officially sold.
Windy City Rehab host Alison Victoria and Luxe For Less host Michel Smith Boyd might have won Rock the Block Season 6 earlier this year, but the house they designed still hasn’t sold seven months later.
Season 6 of the hit HGTV competition series saw four teams renovating 5,500-square-foot mountain homes in Grantsville, Utah. The other three teams competing against Victoria and Boyd included Down Home Fab hosts Cole and Chelsea DeBoer, Renovation Aloha‘s Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama, and Farmhouse Fixer: Camp Revamp stars Jordan and Jonathan Knight.
Victoria and Boyd came out on top with their “Refined Rustic” design, which went heavy on the wood and is described in its listing as “modern country elegance.” However, over half a year later, the property has yet to sell and has seen its price slashed.
According to the listing on Redfin.com, the West Marigold Drive house was originally listed in June for $1.4 million. The price has since dropped to $1.079 million, and it still hasn’t attracted a buyer.
Interestingly, the listing also doesn’t mention Victoria’s involvement, though it does reference Rock the Block and Boyd.
“Experience design-forward living in this one-of-a-kind Hamlet Home featured on HGTV’s Rock the Block Season 6. Masterfully decorated by renowned designer Michel Smith,” the listing reads. “Every detail of this property blends thoughtful architecture with timeless luxury, setting a new standard for modern country elegance.”
Fans on HGTV Reddit shared their thoughts, with some criticizing the design and others pointing to the location as a reason why it hasn’t sold.
“Location, location, location. Aren’t these houses set way outside of town and way overpriced for the area? I think this was a huge HGTV fail,” wrote one user.
“Grantsville is not typically where someone dropping a million dollars on a house is going to want to live. It’s about 45-60 minutes away from SLC, a very rural area, and right next to the Great Salt Lake, which can get pretty stinky,” said another.
Another added, “We went to visit the houses a few weeks ago. Grantsville is such a strange place for these houses – beautiful view of a Walmart distribution center. There were a few other houses under construction at the entrance to the neighborhood, but it was a literally[sic] wasteland.”
“What a disaster that season was. The fix was in, and they jumped the shark giving [Victoria] that silly tiny [pickleball] court, and that hideous casita a win,” said one commenter.
“Totally agree! Major disappointment! That kitchen was an eyesore! She’s overrated! Never paints or uses wallpaper. Just buys overpriced antiques from friends and makes them a built-in,” wrote another.
“I think Allison’s house was the worst of all. All that wood,” another agreed.
“The house does not feel like a family home that is inviting and space that is more livable. So much wood and limiting. The green was just too much for most buyers and definitely not sellable in this area as designed,” said another.
According to the original Reddit poster, only one of the four properties built on Rock the Block Season 6 is fully sold, and that was the DeBoer house, which sold for around $1.1 million. The Knight brothers’ house listing is currently marked as “pending,” while the Kalama’s house is listed as “under contract.”

Perhaps the show should air after 6 months and the winner should be the house that goes for the most.
She is definitely over rated. Her kitchen was ridiculous. She doesn’t design for a potential buyer. She designs as if she is moving in. Shipping crate in the backyard was ugly.

No one wants to buy it because her designing is not appealing to normal people.

That house was the least appealing of the 4, once you got inside. They went BIG and BOLD, but honestly it wasn't much to write home about, obviously it hasn't sold. People were legit shocked and very disappointed they chose that as the winner.

The only reason they won is because she threw a fit and said she would not come back if she didn't win. All the other house were way more family oriented.

I’m not surprised the DeBoer house sold first. I thought they should have won the competition. Alison and Michel’s house was my least favorite (and let’s be honest, it was at least 80% Alison. She got her way on just about everything and allowed poor Michel very little input).

Her designs are trash!!! Everything she does is just awful.

Apparently the article writer isn't aware that the winner is solely on value added and nothing to do with design esthetic. Alison and Michael's house was atrocious to look at BUT it had a very expensive ($150k+) tiny house (casita) in the backyard. Each of the other 3 houses were unique and beautiful in their niche style. There were almost no design elements in the "winning" house that I found interesting or beautiful.

If it was a beach house and you may get a buyer. Funny all the other houses sold. Location is horrendous.

None of the houses were built for real everyday families....they are designed for photo shoots, period.

Probably the location, because all the houses are really pretty.
It seems like it's out in the middle of nowhere lane.
-

I think the homes are beautiful, but if the location is not ideal, it results in a challenge selling them. I think the price may need to reflect this in order to sell them.

Maybe they just need to move Victoria's name off the add and it will sell. Not to be offending, but if you are energetically holding on to your work, they don't sell. Maybe she has hard time letting go, energetically.

I’m not sure why Victoria chose Michel as a partner for this episode. He is a much better designer. She was extremely rude in the fact that she wouldn’t even stand next to him during the judging of each episode. She distanced herself from him and it was even more obvious at the end. She went to every other contestant, when it was announced she and Michel won, for hugs and congratulations. Not once did she even acknowledge his presence. That is extremely unprofessional and childish for someone who claims to be worthy of her status. She’s nothing more than a drama queen who whines when things don’t go her way all the time. Definitely overrated. She should find a new profession!

They were designed to make a TV show good. That,s it. Can you really do good quality in the small time frame they were given? NO!!! I would not buy any of them.

I'm not surprised that the house hasn't sold yet. I watched this episode, and neither of these designers designed the home for that particular area. The kitchen was hideous! However, I did like the concept of the quiet room. She is all about herself and doesn't take her teammates ideas into consideration.

Alison did not research the buyer market. She designs for herself, what she likes, and disregards what people are most likely to buy in that
development.. she made the same mistake in the NO. Calif. competition with an inappropriate design for more casual CA living.
-
J
They are wondering why it hasn't sold ??? It's because of all that green !!!!! A little is ok, but you have to REALLY like green to like that whole design she chose👎

Because it is tacky as hell.
