Storyline
In each episode of Love It or List It Vancouver, a couple or family is faced with the decision of whether or not their current home is the right home for them. With a list of what they would need to change in their current home, and what they would need in a new home, both hosts - a designer and a realtor - come in to try to help make the decision easier. The designer attempts to win over the homeowners by renovating their current home, and the realtor tries to find them the home of their dreams.
