Everyone is going to throw in their two cents, and try and tell you what you should have done different ! You did a Fabulous job on your flip house !!! It looks totally up to date and refreshingly modern !!! I don't think you could have done anything better than what you did ! The house looks spectacular !!! The fact that it didn't sell immediately like you are used to, has nothing to do with your decision to fix this house up, it's just the market ! No one wins all the time, it's part of life and to be expected !!! You are doing a phenomenal job, keep it up !!! Times are difficult on everyone right now, we just need to roll with the punches !!! It will sell to a very happy family !!! 😃
One change I would suggest is adding a border of river rock to keep the mulch from spilling out onto the concrete. It's a tiny little thing but it draws the buyer's eye to the sidewalk instead of the beautiful front door you have chosen.
Thanks Elisa for sharing the great details as usual. I bet that yard added a good amount to the budget. I had a house sit for 3 months before finally getting an offer from July to October, and took a nearly 0 margin, so I feel your pain. Thanks for being honest on the channel too and not presenting it like it’s always easy
I love everything. The only think I don't agree with is removing the coat closet. The coat closet is typically also used to store the vacuum cleaner, broom, and other larger household items... not just coats. The only place is I see that now, is all the way in the basement laundry room. I've literally not bought houses because of lack of storage like this.
I think this is an interest rate driven problem. The work is impeccable, and very tasty. The problem is that the Fed is making cash tight and expensive at the moment.
Just saw your video for the first time. Lovely home. It would have been nice to see you report what your purchase price was, renovation cost and sale price. Also the city or area the home is located in. I love watching house flips on tv. Keep up the good work!
I would like to point out the mulch just spilling everywhere and the outside is what ppl see first. Over here in missouri there are plenty of houses now. In 2018 we could barely get one and settle for one that nobody wanted . Now there are too many and no one buying. You could get a 100k house back then and is now 200k is ridiculous.
I love what you did, especially in the backyard. where you connected all of the levels and made it so welcoming and as social as a person wants it to be. The rest of it is done well as you always do, I love how you kept the light coming through in general. Painted bricks are fine with me, the house I bought not to flip, about a year and a half ago has painted bricks, and I never thought I would like them, but it makes such a difference. I will never undo it! Good work, as always!
What shame 😢. This is one of my favorites houses you’ve renovated. I hope it works out and you can sell for a profit next year. P.S. I love the black and white exterior. Fits the house so well
😳 WUT?! This is post-war era. Soothing and warm earth-tones. Easy on the eyes, solid wood, brass and brick. Smooth, classic, 1960's classic. You guys have ZERO respect for American craftsmanship and architecture. Go buy a NEW house, and let us ENJOY original and historic architecture, PLEASE! 😡
I love the bathrooms with the beautiful white modern marble and the floating sinks. Beautifully done. It looks like a beautiful house.

I wonder if a different color on the house would make it stand out more, its so white now. I'm not a fan of the fireplace brick paint, the grey makes me think of my high school's painted concrete. Can you tell us what the potential buyers didn't like about the home? Would be great to know their opinions.
Every flipped house I looked at when buying couldn't pass the inspection without major red flags. All the paint in the world will not hide HVAC, plumbing, termite, and foundation issues. When I estimated what it would cost to "fix" the flip, it would have been 59% of the sale price, higher on some. I spent probably $2000 on inspections before I found one I could "afford" to take on.
I really can't believe you didn't sell that beautiful house right away. Even with the market, the way it is that's an amazing job you did. Sorry you cut down that tree that apparently was obstructing the view. Wish they had just trimmed it down. As usual, your stagers are right on point! Less is more. They Always have clean, simple but elegant. I love that they don't try to "fill in" each & every space. It's so distracting when dtagers place so many unnecessary things all over just to fill a space. Space is good & your stagers have what it takes to make everything aesthetically pleasing. How you sell quickly! Good luck. 🥰
It is a gorgeous and inviting smaller home. Only changes I would make is to not have had the sink on the peninsula. My personal preference is to have the island or peninsula space uninterrupted by sinks or cooktops. I agree with the comment regarding the gray paint on the brick fireplace. I think a lighter color would be a better option. Even the same as the wall and break it up with a floating mantle of some sort. If there were room in the budget for a half-bath on the lower level that would be really nice, but I realize for flipping purposes why that expense may not be worth it in the end. Thank you for the interesting and inspiring videos!
IM SO HAPPY TO SEE BLOOPERS AGAIN. I’d love to flip houses and get my ideas out there. Unfortunately that’s a wealthy persons hobby. Hopefully the market is back to early 2022 movement due July. You did a great job with this flip. I see you painting the fireplaces in that gray to mute them out and almost make them disappear from the room. Have you thought of doing a mortar wash -removing the hearth and adding in a wooden stained faux beam or even (what I see is popular) removing the hearth and having a ceiling length concrete veneer fireplace? Then you could tint the concrete whatever color goes best with the home. The grey ruins the look for me. It’s a sore in the wall. Consider these on your next flip!
We cannot sell our flip as well in Baltimore. Everybody just scared to buy. We started to advertise it as rental. Good luck with your sale. You did awesome job!
I am a fan of your flips and have learned so much by putting your creative ideas into action. I also flip homes, and have had success trying different styles, including Victorian, horse ranch, desert, contemporary, etc. Like you, most of my homes so far luckily sell within a month or less. This home in your video is very thoughtfully done, and the end result is wonderful. I love the openness and how you maximized the great views. Also how you changed the laundry area downstairs into usable space. The light colors chosen make the interior of the home seem more expansive as well. I see this current financial envirornment of high interest rates a great time to buy. I am open to hold for an indeterminate time as homes for sale in TX, NM, and AZ are currently flooding the market where I primarily do flips.. When sales warm up eventually, and interest rates come down, it will be a big relief. Flipping should become easier again.
Everything looks amazing! A few details that I noticed… the exterior front window trim was painted grey but the window trim was white on the rear of the house. I also would have faced the fireplace in the same marble-look tile/Schluter edging as the bathrooms vs painting the brick and upgraded the exterior deck railing to be more appealing/let the beautiful views and backyard speak for themselves. - If I’m seated, I’m looking at railing because it’s what is at eye-level.
Im in entirely complete agreement with regard to the FP. It's the one thing that just jumps off the page as a cheap-out. My attention was to the small bathrooms and lack of dual vanity anywhere but it's a compact footprint and little anyone can do but that Fire Place stood out like "HEY!! There's a WHOLE lot more could have been done here!!" and it was left SO lack-luster. Not good!! Would have taken so little to make a huge "WOW"!
Sorry to hear that....To me a big downside is the living area...the placement of the fireplace, entryway and stari and hallway openings makes it very hard to lay out a decent living area. The TV would have to go on the small slice of wall opposite the window. But you cant extend a couch on the kitchen side because it would break up the flow to the kitch/dining...further to that point your back would be towards the fireplace. I think you get alot more value had you closed off the stairwell and made the opening from the hallway...or barring a big change like that, you would need to work on staging the living area to make better use of the space and allow buyers to see how it could be used since it is an awkward space
This market condition is very difficult for house flipping. But I like this flipping as well. I was wondering if a larger retaining wall and some Italian cypress trees would make better curb appear
Hi Elisa, thank you for the breakdown on your project. May I ask what paint color you used for the walls? It's a nice refreshing color tied together with the blonde floors.
Really good choices in the finishes of this flip. I like the way you modernized it without a huge reno. I had to sell one of my flips to another investor because the market was softening too quickly. I still made money because I bought at a huge discount but gave up about 30k in profit.
It's a really nice flip but the market is really difficult. I am renovating an apartament right now in Germany and will just rent it out. The rents went up since the Ukraine crisis and it is not worth it to put it on the market now.
From the outside th house looks very small, with no windows, and kind of ugly. But on the inside it's like another dimension and it's huge and beautiful. So sorry you having a hard time with it. Maybe it's just the economy or location. Lovely home.
Nice job, though I am sad you changed the finish color of the wood floors. The former color is really coming back into fashion. At least you didn't make them grey, though. Haha.
I love all your choices for the renovation. I noticed you are sticking with white kitchen cabinets. Do you think you will continue using white in 2023?
Just paint the brickwork out the front the same grey colour as the fireplace inside AND fix up the front landscaping and it will sell without any delay. The front lets down the whole house which is otherwise done exceptionally well
With so much private decking and such a beautiful view, I'd be over the moon if I ever get to live here ❤. Also this house could be a nice Airbnb because there's so much space for entertaining and parties.
Others in the comments seems to like the white exterior. Personally I thought the natural brick was more attractive. I like brick...non painted brick. For paint I would choose a complimentary color like green or a dark teal. White if not paired with natural elements or color can give a cold sterile feel that is not homey. White/off white usually reminds me of cheap apartments instead of classy warm and elegant homes. The exception might be a colonial style home where the white with black is traditional. Basically I would choose my pallet to fit the home and neighborhood.
I see you put a lot of over the range microwave. IS it vented or the non vented one. I see a lot of condo in bay area with no vented type , so was wondering
The staging was off! I saw no area for a media room. The living room furniture allowed no access to the view or fireplace. Downstairs the couch was put against the wall , that a entertainment area could have been .
The order in which the appliances were positioned before was excellent! According to Feng Shui, changing the order of the sink and the oven screwed the whole kitchen. 🤷♀️
ahhh yeah the market! I could not for the life of me guess why this house was sitting for so long. The only singular complaint I had was the glass dining table. and obviously that wouldn't have anything to do with the home sale. I was SOOOO confused until you spoke about the interest rates
I love your videos! Where did you get the light over the table, please! And I really appreciate your honesty about the pros and cons of flipping. I hope you sold this house by now!
Some plants take decades to look nice. I hate that they all get removed. Newly planted yards look sparse and ugly. If a buyer knows little about plants one might not appreciate what has been done. Nice yard though I loved the rose bush though shame it's gone now.
The flow of the house was definitely improved and the color scheme was nice and calming. This house has some great potential for a future home owner. Hopefully the market downturn changes direction but nice renovation.
I actually prefer how the original exterior better, it was more inviting. Especially the front decked patio. Maybe would've changed the blue to a another neutral color but not white. The rest of the home was on point though. Good job!
yes, effect of fed decision on fed fund rate brings great impact on the house market. Fortunately, Fed expect the rate to peak next year and I expect they will reduce the rate Q3 2023.
lol, you can gold plate that house and it won't matter. Interest rate so high that you need to make 250k-300K a year to be able to get a loan from the bank for a house in the bay area. Other than cash buyers, you're out of luck for the next 8 months.
Interior is awesome as always. I think a big deck at the entrance would have been better. The front garden doesn’t really serve a purpose. So buyers may have been put off knowing they would have to change it themselves. Nice views tho!
Nice transformation. You are very young and have a lot more to learn in that business. Most importantly greed and/or ignorance is a recipe for loosing in Real Estate.
I loved the bloopers. I got to see another side of you. Your funny 😄 Your flips are always beautiful. Everytime I see one of your videos I think to myself, "I would love to buy a flipped house from you" 🥰 It would be a dream come true. Too bad I I live in SoCal not NorCal
I love what you did with the house. What was the total cost of the rehab? Maybe you could save money next time by finding cheaper contractors or hire some employees.
thank you for the insights. it is more educational for us all to the see both thee positives and negatives in the market. thank you again for having the courage to share your experience!

That's a good idea. I noticed that and it would bother me. haha
Yeah. Rocks. Great idea. Or we could get the federal government to stop lighting our money on fire and sending our economy further in decline.
Great suggestion! Got any more swell ideas Long Dong?
@@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi- awesome response 🤣🤣
Excellent suggestion.

I agree with you imo not a good idea to remove coat closet . A lot of Reno’s seem to take away storage especially for the things you’re referring to.
I'm shocked the views alone didn't sell this place. The home is absolutely beautiful and well done.
High interest increases the TCO.
I think this is an interest rate driven problem. The work is impeccable, and very tasty. The problem is that the Fed is making cash tight and expensive at the moment.

It’s a gorgeous flip and a shame that it’s a financial loss to you but some family is going to love that home, it’s really well done!

Love the transparency and the bloopers. Thank you for keeping it real.
I cant speak to prices but that is a lovely looking house now.
Always love your transparency, Alisa. I'm crossing my fingers you get an offer soon.
This one is my absolute favourite. The feeling you have created in the home is so peaceful. Well done on all the challenges.
What shame 😢. This is one of my favorites houses you’ve renovated. I hope it works out and you can sell for a profit next year. P.S. I love the black and white exterior. Fits the house so well

Sorry to hear you had such a difficult experience with this flip. FWIW, it still looks quite nice, like always. Those views are quite impressive, too.
I love the bathrooms with the beautiful white modern marble and the floating sinks. Beautifully done. It looks like a beautiful house.
I wonder if a different color on the house would make it stand out more, its so white now. I'm not a fan of the fireplace brick paint, the grey makes me think of my high school's painted concrete. Can you tell us what the potential buyers didn't like about the home? Would be great to know their opinions.
Could you rent the house out in the meantime and try selling sometime next year?
Every flipped house I looked at when buying couldn't pass the inspection without major red flags. All the paint in the world will not hide HVAC, plumbing, termite, and foundation issues. When I estimated what it would cost to "fix" the flip, it would have been 59% of the sale price, higher on some. I spent probably $2000 on inspections before I found one I could "afford" to take on.
The concrete staircase in front of the house is horrendous, you might want to try changing it with a wooden deck, stairs, and handrails.
I really can't believe you didn't sell that beautiful house right away. Even with the market, the way it is that's an amazing job you did. Sorry you cut down that tree that apparently was obstructing the view. Wish they had just trimmed it down. As usual, your stagers are right on point! Less is more.

That’s really good work making it light and airy, it just needs to find the right buyer in this tough market.
I love the house. You did a great job flipping.

The new front door looks so much better. I'm curious how much is labor to install that door, and also the cost of the new door.
Both times a new front door (with frame) installed cost me $2000; once from Lowes and once from Home Depot.
Everything looks amazing!
A few details that I noticed…
the exterior front window trim was painted grey but the window trim was white on the rear of the house.

What is the rental demand in the Bay Area? Maybe look at renting this one during down turn?
You do awesome flips, present your houses well and your bloopers at the end were too cute/funny! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Sorry to hear that....To me a big downside is the living area...the placement of the fireplace, entryway and stari and hallway openings makes it very hard to lay out a decent living area.

Such a great video. You have good taste. Do you mind sharing the numbers? How much you bought it for and how much are you selling it now for?
For taking only two months that’s a phenomenal transformation. I Love the bloopers 😂 btw.
What a beautiful home. I'm sure someone's gonna fall in love with it and pay the full price. Good luck
This market condition is very difficult for house flipping. But I like this flipping as well. I was wondering if a larger retaining wall and some Italian cypress trees would make better curb appear
Love the design, Love the honesty.Hope you mentioned the purchase price and the rehab cost.
Hi Elisa, thank you for the breakdown on your project. May I ask what paint color you used for the walls? It's a nice refreshing color tied together with the blonde floors.
I wish you lime washed the fireplaces because that solid color is too harsh.
Finally someone say true true!!! Thank you for sharing your real experience
Really good choices in the finishes of this flip. I like the way you modernized it without a huge reno. I had to sell one of my flips to another investor because the market was softening too quickly. I still made money because I bought at a huge discount but gave up about 30k in profit.
2023 will certainly not be a "rainbow and butterflies" type of year for flipping houses in the Bay Area. Good luck with the sale.
It's a really nice flip but the market is really difficult. I am renovating an apartament right now in Germany and will just rent it out. The rents went up since the Ukraine crisis and it is not worth it to put it on the market now.
May I ask for the price? I think I missed it...
I'm from Iowa, we need the closets for coats for sure. I love this house. The lower level is an amazing bonus!!I hope it sold by now.
Regarding exterior, I liked the brick look in the before shot.
From the outside th house looks very small, with no windows, and kind of ugly. But on the inside it's like another dimension and it's huge and beautiful. So sorry you having a hard time with it. Maybe it's just the economy or location. Lovely home.
This is a beautiful home. You have done the make over and update great 👍🏽
The house looks beautiful! Great job as always and thank you for sharing your experiences. I hope someone will buy it soon
What a beautiful home in a very nice location. I love overlooking views like that..
love your candidness especially when interest rates are going up!
You probably could convert the downstairs to legal sqft by just have the drawings especially you already did all the work.
Are those flooring new? Or just repaint?
This is a nice one. I like it.
$2.1M for 1500 sq feet.. man the Peninsula Market is crazy
Nice job, though I am sad you changed the finish color of the wood floors. The former color is really coming back into fashion. At least you didn't make them grey, though. Haha.

I know for sure that someone out there will buy that house with your awesome presentation. Beautiful 🏠… ❤️
Beautiful inside and out. I love the blue porch.

I really like the house and the transition.
Why would you paint a beautiful natural brick chimney?
Seriously.. painted brick looks really tacky.
@@Robert-un3cf Plus they are forever ruined once you do that. This is basically just more "shabby chic". I am so tired of it .
If you list in the new year, the sale price should be much better.
Some plants take decades to look nice. I hate that they all get removed. Newly planted yards look sparse and ugly. If a buyer knows little about plants one might not appreciate what has been done. Nice yard though I loved the rose bush though shame it's gone now.

yes, effect of fed decision on fed fund rate brings great impact on the house market. Fortunately, Fed expect the rate to peak next year and I expect they will reduce the rate Q3 2023.
Just know your channel in Greg interview with you 👍
Are you thinking about renting the house?
lol, you can gold plate that house and it won't matter. Interest rate so high that you need to make 250k-300K a year to be able to get a loan from the bank for a house in the bay area. Other than cash buyers, you're out of luck for the next 8 months.
The house is lovely! That’s too bad that it isn’t moving quickly!
Hard to flip houses when fed goes nuts and pumps mortgages to 7%
Timing is everything, good luck, you did a nice job & did not og overboard.
Where is the house located? It's beautiful done, I'm in Bay area and looking for a place similar to this
Sorry about the loss! The flip is beautiful though!
Interior is awesome as always. I think a big deck at the entrance would have been better. The front garden doesn’t really serve a purpose. So buyers may have been put off knowing they would have to change it themselves. Nice views tho!
a lot of lipstick and rouge was used?
I wonder if there were anything made on plumbing architecture and water heating? Copper tube lines ?
Thank you for your great content .You did amazing job! Just subscribed!
Nice transformation. You are very young and have a lot more to learn in that business. Most importantly greed and/or ignorance is a recipe for loosing in Real Estate.
I loved the bloopers. I got to see another side of you. Your funny 😄 Your flips are always beautiful. Everytime I see one of your videos I think to myself, "I would love to buy a flipped house from you" 🥰 It would be a dream come true. Too bad I I live in SoCal not NorCal
Great book just competed it yesterday! Very useful info.
I don’t get how the microwave is above the stovetop! Shouldn’t there be a vent instead?
Great job on the beautiful flip. If it doesn't sell for what you want, could you rent it out until you can sell it at a profit?
Good insights. I like the blooper reel at the end.
Love the bloopers. Your smile is beautiful!!!
I love what you did with the house. What was the total cost of the rehab? Maybe you could save money next time by finding cheaper contractors or hire some employees.
I would never knowingly buy a flip because I'd assume they'd used the cheapest contractors and materials.
thank you for the insights. it is more educational for us all to the see both thee positives and negatives in the market. thank you again for having the courage to share your experience!
This is a wonderful example of a rehab gone overboard. 90% of the time you should stick to painting, flooring, and minor changes.
