Love It or List It Season 3 Episode 34 Near the Family Fixer-Upper

In Love It or List It season 3 episode 34, titled 'Near the Family Fixer-Upper,' homeowners Ryan and Sarah are faced with a dilemma. They live in a family-oriented community and their current home has been in Sarah's family for decades. However, it's dated and in need of extensive renovations, leaving the couple torn between staying and renovating or selling and finding a new home.

Hosts Hilary Farr and David Visentin are both up for the challenge and begin by taking a tour of the property. Sarah and Ryan have a list of changes they'd like to see done, including an updated kitchen, more space for their growing family, and a modernized appearance. Despite the daunting task, Hilary is determined to make their current home a dream come true and encourages them to give her the chance to remodel.

David, on the other hand, believes the family needs a fresh start in a new home. He takes them to three potential listings that will meet their wish list, budget, and location preferences. The first home is modern and spacious but does not have a lot of outdoor space. The second home has a great pool and plenty of outdoor space, but Sarah is concerned about the layout. The third home has everything the family wants, but is over budget.

As the renovations on their existing home kick off, inevitably, troubles arise - including asbestos in the walls - causing tension between the couple and Hilary. But as the days go by, Hilary proves to Ryan and Sarah that their home can be transformed into their dream property.

Meanwhile, David continues to show them potential new homes but struggles to impress them. The first home he shows them is too far from their current community and the last one, although perfect, is too expensive. Throughout the episode, David's attempts to sway the family towards a new home becomes more challenging, but he remains determined.

With both Hilary and David working hard to meet Ryan and Sarah's demands, it is up to them to decide whether to love their newly renovated home or list it and move onto something new.

Overall, Love It or List It season 3 episode 34 offers a glimpse into the challenging decision-making process that comes with choosing whether to renovate an old home or to move on to something new. The episode explores the pros and cons of each option and highlights how shifting priorities can ultimately impact these decisions.
