For Sport Physician Teri, his wife Kim and their two children, ‘location, location, location’ couldn’t be truer. Their small, dated house in the heart of the city has very little going for it except its address and a short commute to work for Teri. He thinks with the right touch and a healthy reno budget their house could be a home Kim could love, without sacrificing their neighborhood and all the city has to offer, but is their house too far gone for even Jillian Harris to rescue? Realtor Todd isn’t off the hook either. Teri insists on looking at houses close to their neighborhood, but spacious houses in their area with the big backyard Kim craves are few and far between.

An awkward, dated house on a shaky foundation was all Elana and Brian could afford when they bought in an up-and-coming area of the city. Now, a real estate boom and huge increase in their property value has Elana seeing dollar signs and dreaming of new home bliss. One problem: Brian is in love with their now trendy neighborhood and its proximity to his work. He’s convinced the house has the right bones for a massive re-design and all Jillian has to do is reno pretty much every room without breaking the budget—no small feat! Elana is a risk taker and if they gambled on a new neighborhood before, they might just do it again if Todd can hit the jackpot with the perfect house.

Marcos thinks Jillian can transform their “work-in-progress” house into a home Brenda will love. Can Jillian rise to the challenge or will Todd open the door to a new Oceanside home and their long awaited West Coast dream?

Sherri loves her home and hopes an interior overhaul will keep them firmly parked there for another 5 to 10 years. Jeff sees things differently. He wants to sell while the market is red hot, move out of the bustle of the city and put some money in his pocket and some time on his hands to restore his classic car.

Todd’s search for the right space in the right place isn’t as easy as it seems and Sherri and Jeff wonder if their dream house even exists.

Alison and Frank are empty nesters who want more time for leisure and less time spent managing their large oceanfront property. Frank admits it’s a bit of a burden, but he doesn’t want to leave the family home. After 25 years of maintaining such a huge house, Alison wants a home that’s just for her and Frank, where they will spend less time working and more time having fun. While Jillian can’t make their 5000 square foot home any smaller or anticipate what she might find behind those old walls, she can make it more elegant and efficient to convince Alison there’s no place like home, while Todd goes to great lengths--and heights--to show Frank the upside to downsizing with a brand new home.
