The iconic rivalry is back, but with a major twist. As of the latest updates in late 2025, the long-running HGTV series Love It or List It has officially introduced a new co-host, marking the end of an era defined by the dynamic tension between designer Hilary Farr and real estate agent David Visentin.

Why Did Hilary Farr Leave Love It or List It?
The departure of Hilary Farr after 19 seasons and 250 episodes was the catalyst for the biggest change in the show’s history. Farr, who became a beloved figure for her sophisticated design aesthetic and her sharp-witted rivalry with David Visentin, announced her exit to fans, citing a need for personal and professional growth.
In interviews following her announcement, Farr was candid about her reasons. She stated that after nearly two decades, the process was "becoming boring," and she felt ready for "new challenges." Her departure was not due to any animosity with the network or her co-host, David Visentin, whom she spoke fondly of.
Farr has reassured fans that she is not leaving television entirely, suggesting she will pursue other projects that allow her to stretch her creative muscles in different ways. Her exit paved the way for HGTV to revamp the show and inject new energy into the format for its milestone 20th season.
What to Expect from Love It or List It Season 20 and Beyond
The format of the show remains fundamentally the same, maintaining the core concept that fans have loved for years. Homeowners are presented with a choice: "Love It" (stay in their newly renovated home) or "List It" (sell their home and move to a new property found by the real estate agent).
However, the dynamic has undergone a "significant shift" with Page Turner's arrival. The new rivalry between Page and David is expected to be just as competitive and entertaining as the original, but with a fresh twist. Fans will witness Page's distinct design flair—honed through her experience with house-flipping and high-pressure competitions like Rock the Block—clashing with David's relentless pursuit of the perfect new listing.
Season 20 premiered in April 2025 and consisted of eight brand new episodes, each featuring a new set of fed-up homeowners. The episode titles, such as "A Place to Grow or a Place to Go?" and "Level It Out," suggest the classic mix of family-focused design dilemmas and challenging renovations that the series is known for.
The Future of the Love It or List It Franchise
The introduction of Page Turner is a strategic move by HGTV to ensure the longevity of one of its legacy shows. By bringing in a seasoned network personality, the transition is smoother, and the show retains its high level of expertise in both design and real estate.
The new pairing has been well-received, with the two hosts instantly butting heads in a way that honors the original show’s spirit. The continued success of the franchise relies on this chemistry, and early indications are that the new Page Turner and David Visentin dynamic will keep viewers tuning in for years to come. The show is not just about home renovation; it’s about the battle of wills between the designer and the realtor, and that core conflict is alive and well in Season 20.
For fans who were concerned about Hilary Farr’s departure, the new season provides a compelling reason to keep watching. It offers a fresh perspective on the same beloved format, proving that while the hosts may change, the fundamental question—Love It or List It?—remains the ultimate decision for every homeowner. The show continues to be a staple for those interested in interior design, real estate trends, and the high-stakes decisions of homeownership.
