We bought America's ugliest home. After renovating it, we sold it for more than $600,000.

"Before undergoing a more than $100,000 renovation, a once-run-down four-bedroom two-bath home on Sunset Avenue, located in Boise's Sunset neighborhood, was in absolutely awful shape. Built in the 1940s and situated on a nearly 9,000-square-foot lot, the property's wood was rotting, the driveway was cracked, the interior paint was peeling and grimy, the floors were dirt-stained, and it reeked of moldy food and dogs. The property was such an eyesore that it won HomeVestors' 2025 Ugliest House of the Year contest."

"HomeVestors, the company behind the national cash homebuying brand " We Buy Ugly Houses," hosts an annual "Ugliest House of the Year" contest showcasing dramatic home makeovers by its independently owned and operated franchises across the country. This year, Boise franchise owners Tanice and Paul Myers emerged as the winners out of 20 entries. Married for 25 years, the Myerses have spent more than two decades investing in real estate. They expanded their renovation-and-flipping operation in 2018 by joining HomeVestors, and over the course of their careers, have flipped more than 500 homes together. "We are loving what we're doing," Tanice, 53, told Business Insider."

A 1940s Boise bungalow on a nearly 9,000-square-foot lot suffered wood rot, a cracked driveway, peeling grimy paint, dirt-stained floors, smoke-stained walls, ceiling holes, and moldy food and dog odors. The property underwent a more than $100,000 renovation and was named HomeVestors' 2025 Ugliest House of the Year. Married franchise owners Tanice and Paul Myers, who joined HomeVestors in 2018 and have flipped over 500 homes together, completed the makeover. The renovation included replacing the roof, windows, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems, repairing drywall and floors, and resurfacing the driveway, eliminating interior damage and odors.
