HGTV Greenlights ‘Cheap Old Houses’

Ethan and Elizabeth Finkelstein, founders of the social media series “Cheap Old Houses” will star in an eight-episode HGTV series of the same name slated to premiere in summer 2021. The logline: Cameras will follow Ethan and Elizabeth as they visit cities and small towns across America to tour two low-priced older houses and share stories of the homes’ historical significance and architectural uniqueness. With Elizabeth’s background as a historic preservationist and their shared passion for saving old property gems, the couple will imagine what the houses could look like with proper restorations—and ultimately will choose which house to feature on their famous Instagram feed.

The series also will spotlight the couple as they stop by to see restorations of saved old homes formerly featured on “Cheap Old Houses.”
