Love It or List It, Too Season 5 Episode 5 Julie & Bernard

Julie and Bernard are a couple who love their suburban home but are ready for a change. They feel that their home no longer meets their needs as their family has grown and they need more space. Bernard wants to move while Julie wants to stay and renovate. The couple has a budget of $150,000, and they've turned to design expert Dan Vickery and real estate professional Elisa Goldhawke to help them decide whether to love it or list it.

Julie has always loved the neighborhood and the proximity to their children's schools. She has fond memories of raising her family in her home and appreciates the familiarity of the space. Bernard, however, feels that their home has become outdated and cramped. He dreams of a larger home with more modern amenities.

As they walk through the house, Dan and Julie discuss the couple's needs and priorities. Julie wants more space for their family to enjoy, including a space for her to work from home and a larger kitchen. She also hopes to create a more open floor plan to make the home feel more spacious. Bernard, on the other hand, is focused on practicality. He wants a larger garage and a backyard that is better suited for entertaining.

With their priorities established, Dan gets to work renovating the home while Elisa begins her search for a new home for the couple. Dan starts by opening up the kitchen to create a more open floor plan. He also adds on a new family room and expands the garage to meet Bernard's desires. Finally, he creates a home office for Julie to work from.

While Dan works on the renovation, Elisa takes Bernard and Julie to see some homes that might meet their needs. The first home they visit is a modern new build that is move-in ready. However, with a price tag of over $700,000, the couple quickly realizes that it's out of their budget. The second home they see has space for the entire family, but the location is too far away from their current neighborhood. Finally, they tour a third home that is located in the couple's current neighborhood and has all the space they need, but it requires extensive renovations that would put the total cost over their budget.

After seeing the homes, Bernard and Julie have a difficult decision to make. They are torn between staying in their beloved home and making the necessary renovations or moving to a newer, larger home that is move-in ready. Elisa and Dan present their proposals, and the couple must choose whether to love it or list it.

In the end, the decision is not an easy one. The couple is faced with the challenge of balancing their emotional attachment to their current home with the practical needs of their growing family.
