Back to front in Chipping Norton, NSW on Selling Houses Australia
I knew it was going to be a huge challenge to transform this home into a desirable pad for the modern family. Luckily, upstairs didn't need much attention, but downstairs was a jumble of small rooms that were dark and dated, the layout that makes it feel like a maze.
Transforming a bachelor pad in Mudjimba, Sunshine Coast on Selling Houses Australia
Macca's expectations of the home were completely unrealistic. He wanted $1.3 million for a property that was likely worth closer to $900K. Market feedback for Macca was pretty brutal, knowing that this was his last financial opportunity. It was hard not to feel for him.
Did the Jannali home on Selling Houses Australia ever sell?
This was a case of homeowners Nicky and Danny simply outgrowing their little house. It was time to move on, and selling made sense to them – but will our renovation be enough to sell this home?

Selling Houses Australia: Tumby Bay bus, our first tiny home
Welcome to Tumby Bay, although the home on this episode is not really tied to one postcode – because it’s a bus! The Tumby Bay bus renovation was one of our most challenging yet on Selling Houses Australia because there was simply very little room to move, and the budget matched the floor plan. It was SMALL.

More of a nightmare than the ‘fun project’ she’d hoped for, it was time to move it on. I needed to do a lot here - it had no functioning spaces with the exception of the existing bed frame. But there was no mattress, to be clear…
Selling Houses Australia: Trapped in the 1990s in Windsor Downs, NSW
Windsor Downs was one of the biggest projects I’ve ever seen on Selling Houses Australia! When we arrived at the property I was shocked by the sheer size of it – Andrew had dropped me and Dennis into it again!! Inside, a 1990s symphony of aubergine and pistachio greeted me, along with a lot of dim, dark rooms. So much… disconnect space. I could see why potential buyers weren’t loving it.
Selling Houses Australia: Ellalong, a characterful church conversion
The first episode is always gonna have a piece of my heart. Whenever Dennis and I arrive at one of the renovation sites on Selling Houses Australia, we’re filled with trepidation! This one was no exception - but I’d be telling a lie if I didn’t admit that a huge part of me was also thrilled. It’s a design dream of mine to take on a church, and this sweet little one with its fairly simple floor plan was dilapidated but had so much potential.
Interiors expert Wendy Moore reports on Selling Houses Australia Season 16
I feel so lucky to have joined such a loved show as Selling Houses Australia on Foxtel’s The Lifestyle Channel, and I think we are all just so thankful (and relieved) that it’s still so popular even after having such big changes with the host line up. Landscaper Dennis Scott and I were very nervous about it, so I think we feel how lucky we are every day.
