Finding a house is one thing, but turning it into a home is an entirely different journey. The Better Buy, brought to you by Better Homes & Gardens, picks up that story in its second season, moving well beyond the initial purchase. Host Mélanie Berliet guides the conversation through each subsequent step, whether that's navigating a complicated move, deciding on a design direction, or figuring out what to plant in a new backyard.

You’ll hear from specialists in real estate, architecture, and horticulture who offer grounded, actionable advice, alongside celebrities sharing their own personal and sometimes surprising home-making experiences. This podcast recognizes that a home is built through a collection of choices, both large and small. It’s about creating a space that truly reflects you, filled with practical wisdom and a bit of inspiration drawn from every corner of the process. Tune in for a genuine sense of companionship and clarity as you navigate your own path.
