This week’s Zombie House Flipping on A&E trades sunny optimism for a hefty dose of reality. In “Tampa: Bay Hills,” airing Saturday, January 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM, Dolmar and Keisha venture into Tampa’s upscale coastal region, only to find a “zombie” house teetering on the brink of collapse.
Forget cosmetic fixes; this property is grappling with serious structural issues. Deep fissures threaten the foundation, walls, and ceilings, raising the question of whether this flip is even salvageable. The allure of a high-end transformation in a desirable location clashes with the harsh realities of extensive damage and potentially skyrocketing costs. Can the team afford to bring this property back from the dead?
Zombie House Flipping typically follows a predictable path—find a dilapidated house, renovate, and sell for a profit. But “Tampa: Bay Hills” offers a different kind of suspense. The focus shifts from design choices to the more fundamental question of structural integrity. Will the house even stand long enough to see a renovation?
