In the tenth season of Love It or List It, homeowners continue to struggle with the decision of whether to stay in their current home or move on to a new one. In season 10 episode 8, titled "Sink or Swim," a couple seeks the help of hosts Hilary Farr and David Visentin to resolve their conflicting opinions on whether to renovate or relocate.
The homeowners, Tom and Wendy, reside in a lakeside home in Raleigh, North Carolina, where they plan to retire. Tom is content with their current home and loves the location, while Wendy desires a newer, more modern home that reflects her style. Hilary begins the renovations by focusing on Wendy's wish list, including an updated kitchen, a proper dining room, and a more spacious master bathroom.
Despite the progress, David visits multiple properties with Wendy, hoping to persuade her to list their home. His first stop is a contemporary-style home with desirable features, including an open-concept design and a luxurious master bathroom. The second home has a coastal vibe, featuring a pool and an outdoor kitchen. The third home is a stunning property on the lake, where Wendy could have her dream of living by the water.
As the renovation continues, unexpected issues arise, including a leaky roof and problems with the electrical system. Hilary must adjust her plans accordingly, which affects the budget. Meanwhile, David continues to showcase potential new homes, hoping to sway Wendy's opinion.
Throughout the episode, Tom and Wendy debate the pros and cons of renovating versus selling their current home. They discuss the expenses associated with a move and debate the sentimental value of their current home versus the excitement of a new one.
As the episode comes to a close, Tom and Wendy must make a decision. Will they love their newly renovated home or take the leap and list it for a new adventure? The final reveal is sure to be a dramatic and emotional moment for the couple.
