Selling Houses Australia is an Australian reality and lifestyle TV series, based on the British show Selling Houses. The series follows property owners who are having difficulty selling their home. The show is hosted by property expert and author Andrew Winter, who also presented the British version. He is joined by landscaper Dennis Scott and interiors expert Wendy Moore of The Interiors Edit (replacing Charlie Albone and Shaynna Blaze from season 14 onwards). The series is produced exclusively for Foxtel by WBITVP.
Format
Andrew meets with the property owner at their home and reviews the house before eventually bringing in his team to assess the property. Then the owners will hear feedback from both the team and general public before a budget is provided. The team (usually with the help of the homeowners) then renovate the property to boost the appeal and saleability. Andrew then returns to the property and the final renovation results are shown with new public feedback. The property is then put up for sale (either private or auction) and the selling result is shown at the end of each episode.
Awards In 2009 and 2010, the show won ASTRA Awards for Most Outstanding Lifestyle Program and Viewers' Favourite Program. In 2013, the show won Most Outstanding Lifestyle Program, and in 2014, was named Favourite Program – Australian. In 2013, Selling Houses Australia was the highest rating LifeStyle Channel series and was the number 1 regular program on Pay TV. In its seventh series, which aired in 2014, the show became the highest rating series in Foxtel history, reaching a cumulative average of 603,000 viewers per episode, and "2.6 million unique people, equivalent to 37% of all Foxtel subscribers" across the series.
History In May 2014, it was announced that a five-episode special, Inside Selling Houses Australia, would begin airing on 25 June. The series sees Winter, Albone and Blaze "swap war stories from their seven years together doing property makeovers." The final episode aired in January 2015.
The free-to-air Seven Network picked up the rights to the series and began airing the series from its fifth season on 25 August 2016. The twelfth season premiered on 6 March 2019, and the series will become "the most successful locally produced series" in Australian subscription television history.
In February 2020, Charlie Albone announced he would be leaving the series and would be joining Seven Network's Better Homes and Gardens from 2020; a casting call was announced for a new landscaper for the series. In March 2021, Shaynna Blaze announced she would also be leaving the series due to a busy schedule. In May 2021, former House Rules judge and interior designer Wendy Moore and former NRL player turned landscape designer Dennis Scott were announced to be joining the series from its 14th season which began airing from 30 March 2022. The fifteenth season premiered on 22 March 2023. The sixteenth season of the series premiered on 20 March 2024. The seventeenth season of the series premiered on 5 March 2025. In September 2025, the series was renewed for an eighteenth season along a six part special, Inside Selling Houses Australia: New Beginnings. The eighteenth season will premiere on 4 March 2026, which will include its 200th episode.
