Love It or List It Season 11 Episode 197 Maggie and Aaron

Maggie and Aaron have been living in their current home for quite some time. However, they have outgrown the house and are looking for a change. Maggie doesn't want to sell the house that she has loved and put so much time and effort into, whereas Aaron is interested in getting a more modern and spacious home.

The couple's wish list includes a spacious kitchen, larger living area, and a renovated master bathroom, but they are unable to agree on their budget. Maggie is reluctant to spend a lot of money on renovating their current home, whereas Aaron is interested in spending more money to buy a new house.

To tackle this issue, the couple contacts Love It or List It to help them make a decision. Interior designer Hilary Farr and real estate agent David Visentin are called in to present their plans to the couple in hopes of swaying them one way or the other. Farr is tasked with coming up with a renovation plan that will convince Maggie to stay in her home, while Visentin works to find listings that will entice Aaron to move.

After an initial meeting to discuss the couple's preferences, Farr and Visentin each present their plans. Farr proposes a renovation plan that involves a complete overhaul of the master bathroom and kitchen, along with knocking down walls to create a larger living space. Visentin presents several properties that fulfill nearly all of the couple's requirements that are already on the market. Of course, the question arises whether Aaron and Maggie would like a newly renovated old home or a brand new home.

The couple decides to stick to a strict budget of $50,000 for renovations, which Farr struggles to work with. Meanwhile, Visentin runs into some issues with his potential listings which he overcomes with his incredible skills. After weighing the pros and cons of both options, Maggie and Aaron must make a decision. Will the changes in their existing home be enough to make Maggie stay, or will Aaron convince her to move into a newer, more modern home?

The episode highlights the debate between renovating an old home or buying a new one. It also showcases the importance of compromise in a relationship and how differences in opinion can influence this decision. Throughout the episode, high tensions and drama appear but, as always, Farr and Visentin work their magic and deliver impressive results.

Overall a must-watch episode for Love It or List It fans, offering an exciting choice for the protagonists and giving new and creative ideas for home renovation and decoration.
