Real Estate Reality TV Shows: More Realistic Since Bubble

Among the first real estate-themed reality TV shows that launched in the 1990s was House Hunters produced by Pie Town Productions. A lot has changed since then.

"People are much more willing to talk about details that were once considered too intimate like how much they've spent on a home and how much profit they made on the sale of a home," said Jennifer Davidson, a principal at Pie Town, which recently launched Flip or Flop, a real estate-themed reality tv show that began airing this year on HGTV.

The show is about Tarek and Christina, who buy homes and make them over before selling.
"It's doing well in the ratings, because they are a couple not a corporation," Davidson said.
