Barbara, a professional home economist, gives an on camera tour of each house, commenting on features of particular interest to prospective homeowners, while Charlie gives the masculine point of view. New feature of the show will be an aerial tour of various living areas showing home locations in relation to schools, shopping areas and transportation.
