- October 15, 2013
In season 27's episode 147 of House Hunters International entitled "Business and Budget in Budapest, Hungary," we follow a young couple as they search for their perfect first home in the bustling city of Budapest. With a limited budget, they are determined to find a property that not only fits their needs but also allows them to pursue their entrepreneurial ambitions.
The episode opens with the couple, Alex and Rachel, discussing their plans to move to Budapest to start a business together. Despite having limited funds, they are determined to find a home that can accommodate their needs as well as their business plans. They are looking for a property that is affordable, centrally located, and has a workspace that they can use for their business.
Their real estate agent, Anna, takes them on a tour of several properties in Budapest. The first property they visit is a beautiful two-bedroom flat in the city center. While it meets most of their requirements, it is slightly over their budget, and the lack of extra space for their business is a concern. Nonetheless, Alex and Rachel are impressed by the apartment's location and interior design.
Next, they visit a spacious flat that has a balcony with a view of the Danube River. While the space is larger and more affordable than the previous property, it is farther away from the city center, making it less convenient for their business. Additionally, the building requires some major renovations, which would add to their budget.
Their last property visit is to a flat that is slightly further from the city center but is significantly more affordable than the others. While it requires some minor renovations, the apartment has a designated workspace that would be perfect for their business. The couple is also thrilled to find that it has ample storage space and is located in a safe and friendly neighborhood.
Over the course of the episode, Alex and Rachel weigh the pros and cons of each property. They debate the tradeoffs of location, price, and suitability for their business. Throughout all the deliberations, they come to realize that they must prioritize their needs and compromise where necessary.
In the end, Alex and Rachel make a decision that will allow them to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams and live comfortably in Budapest. The episode concludes with Anna helping them finalize negotiations on their chosen property.
Overall, this episode of House Hunters International offers an exciting look into the challenges and rewards of finding a home in Budapest while balancing business aspirations and a tight budget. It provides viewers with valuable insights into the local real estate market and the process of negotiation, as well as highlighting the vibrant character of Budapest and its rich culture and history.
