Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis, co-hosts of HGTV’s “Unsellable Houses,” have been bringing HGTV viewers joy since their show began in 2019. The last episode of the fifth season aired on November 27, 2024 with an emotional season finale that saw the twins help sell the house of a dear friend who was moving away.
Though no official announcement has been made regarding a sixth season, fans of the show have made it known that they are waiting with bated breath. A recent post on the Facebook group called “Official Unsellable Houses Fan Page” asking if the show had been renewed garnered plenty of responses.
“Hope sooo! I live for this show!” one commentator stated.
A YouTube channel called “Series Central” posted a video on September 9, 2024 that looked at the potential of a sixth season for “one of HGTV’s most loved shows,” citing the popularity of the series as well as the twin’s win on the fifth season of HGTV’s “Rock the Block” from last year to suggest the likelihood of a new season premiering in fall 2025.
Co-Hosts of “Unsellable Houses” Frequently Update Fans Via Social Media
In the meantime, the twin sisters and real estate consultants continue sharing their expertise with the world. They are both frequent posters on Instagram, either via the Lamb and Company page, or on their personal accounts (Davis or Lamb).
On February 21, they sat down for an interview with Katherine Page, the host of “Talk of Alabama” for ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Alabama. In town for the Birmingham Home Show February 21-23, Lamb and Davis discussed the importance of finding a working combination of the now with the classic, and when it comes to deciding whether to jump on the latest trend in home renovation, the duo says it usually boils down to one question: “Does it bring you joy?”
“There’s a big difference between a style and a trend,” Lamb said. “A style will last a long time, and a trend is something that comes and goes. So there’s a balance between the two.”
It really is as simple as figuring out what makes you happy.
“I always say there’s a joy factor you have to take into consideration,” Lamb said. “There’s what the style is, or the trend is, but then there’s a joy factor. Does it bring you joy?”
Of course, too much joy for one person could bring pain to others. So the duo stress the need, particularly for those who may be looking to sell their house in the near future, to not go overboard in the trendy direction.
“Because as a buyer comes in, they may make a sacrifice for ‘a trend,’ but they’re not going to want to see it trendy all throughout the house,” Lamb said. “It will be too much, too overwhelming.”
It also rarely makes good sense, the twins stated, to change a house dramatically from the rest of the neighborhood.
“We always say look at what the homes around you are doing,” Davis said. “What is the value of your neighbors’, and try to keep that in mind. You don’t want to over-update your home, especially if you plan on selling it in the next five to 10 years.”
And you can never overestimate the power of “curb appeal,” particularly with so many potential buyers making decisions based on online photos.
“If we don’t get those pictures right, they’re just going to keep on swiping by,” Davis said.
Lyndsay Lamb & Leslie Davis Urge Homeowners to Consider ‘The Joy Factor’
Lamb and CompanyBut in the end, always remember the target audience, and if that is you, feel free to go crazy. Like Davis said she recently did with the paint in her bedroom.
“I did the, very much so a trend, I did the color wash where I painted my ceilings, walls and trims all the same color, and I went a really, really dark, moody ‘Midnight in New York’ green,” Davis said.
“It’s really, really dark, really dark green. And I love it. It’s my bedroom, I wanted it dark and moody.”
“It brings Leslie joy to have her bedroom that dark and moody, it brings me joy to have something else,” Lamb added. “I’m living there, she’s living there, you’re living in that house. So what’s the joy factor for you?”
