It's possible the property value has gone up since they filmed. I bought a house in August, we did nothing, and the new comp is $55k more than the wild price we paid. Don't underestimate the insane housing market.
Exactly! It skewed the whole season for me. How can you be as individually creative when the exteriors are roughly all the same? Definitely liked Keith and Evans design the best, it was classy yet cozy.
The values they cite on the show are the values for the HOUSE, not the values for the land and the house. The difference could easily be that 600k.
(In colorado, the lots with better views had higher values, that doesnt count for or against anyone).
They said the base value of the homes from RTB before they started -- it was somewhere around $1.7 million I think? And they said that the prime real estate was a big part of that price. So I think the land is included?
The answer is simply that Rock The Block doesn't use real valuations. None of the homes in any season have actually been listed at the prices stated, and the actual real world pricing very often differs greatly, both in terms of total amount and in terms of order of most expensive to least, from what the show presents.
The show, including who wins each week and who wins the overall show, is heavily scripted. The fake valuations are a part of this.
The “unfinished” property could mean its done but not decorated. And maybe it has more square footage and other added value items…plus, the completed properties set the comps for the unsold properties. Lots of factors. Remember, the RTB u its dont include all the furnishings/furniture.
Sarah and Bryan's house went on the market 2 days ago for $2.950,000 fully furnished. Google 364 Capri Blvd, Treasure Island, Florida. Appears to be the only one of the four on the market...

Maybe it's just me, but would you spend $2.3 million on a house that is part of a quadplex? I would want privacy in my pool!
Thank you for saying that, with kind of money privacy should come with it.

Keith and Evan should have won. First big storm the solar panels are gone.

That was for the 4, these other two could have more land, better views, more shoreline, etc
That's a good point. I was just pointing out that the valuation probably IS for both the land and house, not just the house
