Drew & Jonathan Scott Reveal Why Their Parents Left Their ‘Dream’ Home of 60 Years (Exclusive)

The HGTV stars said their parents were “leaving their dreams” and a “killer view” behind during an exclusive interview with PEOPLE

Drew and Jonathan Scott are opening up about their parents’ decision to relocate from their dream home in the Canadian Rocky Mountains to Los Angeles.

The HGTV hosts, both 46, shared the reason why their parents, Jim and Joanne Scott, sacrificed their beloved home base to move to California during an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.

The stars of the new series Don’t Hate Your House with the Property Brothers, who were born and raised in Canada, explained that their parents left their forever home so they could be closer to their sons and their growing brood of grandkids.

“They're leaving their dreams,” Drew explains, referring to his parents. “Up in the Rocky Mountains, they had this killer view. They've lived their whole lives there — 60 years they've been together. This has been where they first met, and where they were before they moved down here."

Viewers will get to see the twins renovate their parents’ new Spanish-style bungalow in the last two episodes of Don't Hate Your House, which premiered Wednesday, Nov. 13.

"We couldn't have them move down here to be closer to family and hate where they live,” Drew says.

Jonathan explains that they already renovated their parents “beautiful” home in the Rocky Mountains “and they loved it,” but they ultimately “wanted to be close to the grandkids.”

He added that they especially felt the pressure to get the renovation perfect as “you don't want to disappoint your mom — that's the most important thing.”

Drew shares son Parker, 2, and daughter Piper, 5 months, with wife Linda Phan.

Jonathan is stepdad to fiancée Zooey Deschanel’s kids: daughter Elsie, 9, and son Charlie, 7, from her previous marriage with Jacob Pechenik.

Drew continues, “We were super nervous that they weren't going to like it, but I mean, you have to watch the show to find out if they do.”

In addition to their parents' home remodel being absolutely “mind-blowing,” Drew notes that all the family moments in the series will be something viewers don’t want to miss. (The stars' also have an older brother, JD Scott, who has appeared on their other HGTV shows.)

“Our dad's 90 years old,” he says. “He's in there with a sledgehammer helping us renovate the house. It's pretty amazing.”
