Ep 17. Chasing the Suburban Dream Home

Chasing the Suburban Dream Home is the seventeenth episode of the eighth season of Property Brothers, a highly-rated Canadian reality television series that is centered around the identical twin brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott. The show is filled with high-stakes drama and follows the duo around as they help families to purchase and renovate their dream homes within their budget.

In this episode, we meet Andrew and Sarah, a young couple who have recently moved to the suburbs outside Toronto in search of more space for their growing family. The couple is expecting their second child and has decided that it's time to upgrade from their small apartment to a house that'll fit their needs.

The couple has a budget of $840,000, which may seem reasonable, but the problem is the housing market in the suburbs is notoriously competitive. The Property Brothers must find a house that's up to the couple's standards within their budget. And because the couple's expectations are high, the task won't be easy.

Drew, as usual, is the man with a lot of contacts in the real estate industry who helps the couple to find their ideal house. Andrew and Sarah are looking for a turnkey home with modern finishes and lots of spaces, including a spacious backyard that will give their children enough space to play.

The Property Brothers take the couple to see three different houses, each with its own unique features. The first house meets all of Andrew and Sarah's criteria, but it's slightly outside their budget. The second house is within the budget, but it's not as modern as they'd like. Finally, the third house ticks all of the couple's boxes while being within their budget. As always, Drew and Jonathan pull out all stops in negotiations to try to close the deal for the couple.

When the house is finally secured with the transaction, it's time for the renovation phase. Andrew and Sarah want to add a modern touch to their new home and transform it into a house they can be proud of. They also want to add a few personal touches to make it feel like their own.

Jonathan's initial impression of the house is that it's in good condition, and so the renovations are mostly cosmetic. They install new flooring, paint the walls, and upgrade the kitchen, bedrooms, and the bathrooms. To create a comfortable living space for the entire family, they redesign the layout to increase the amount of space available.

Throughout the renovation process, there are some surprises and hiccups, including discovering mold, but the brothers' skill and experience allow them to successfully overcome any issues. In a matter of weeks, Andrew and Sarah's dream home has been transformed beyond recognition. As always, the brothers exceed expectations, and the couple is thrilled.

Overall, Chasing the suburban Dream Home is an entertaining and exciting episode of Property Brothers Season 8 that showcases Drew and Jonathan Scott's expert abilities as property finders and interior designers. This is one of those episodes that shows how challenging and rewarding house hunting and renovation can be, and it's sure to be a hit with the show's fans.
