ok so while reading your post i had to shout I KNOW!! re your comment about people who declare hate for a house based on something cosmetic...what the hell people? ah well. It'll probably pay off for us some day when we find an awesome house that's still on the market because people cant see past yellow paint or bad wallpaper.
That attitude absolutely drives us nuts. We had trouble selling a house, in a great neighborhood and schools, because it was either fix up ours (new kitchen) or purchase a newly built house in the 'burbs. When my wife and I we're looking at houses all we would see is the potential. Our realtor would stop us and make us move on when we started moving walls and doing mental demolition when we were looking for a new house.
As for HH: We looked at over 100 houses and in 6 months. It’s a little contrived with these people only “looking” at three listings. Oh, and our realtor never announced each room like they do in the show.
I hate HH because all the people on it seem like whiners. "I need to move because I'm single and live in a 3 BR/2.5 BA home and my only pet, a goldfish needs more room..."

Oh, that would be great!
Realtor: "We've found you a 4 bedroom, 2 bath McMansion in the heart of Beverly Hills."
Me: "I can't afford Beverly Hills."
Realtor: "It's only $145,000!"
Me: "Why so low? O.J. live there?"
Realtor: "Well... I hate to bring this up, but... it's got a pink laminate kitchen countertop and orange shag carpeting in the guest house."
Me: "Noooooooo!!!"
