Beachfront Bargain Hunt Season 28 Episode 1 A Promise Kept in Panama City

In season 28 episode 1 of Beachfront Bargain Hunt, titled "A Promise Kept in Panama City," we journey with a couple eager to make their long-time dream of living beachfront a reality. Thomas and Erin, originally from Louisiana, are now living in Pensacola, Florida and are excited to begin their search for the perfect beachfront property in Panama City. They have always been captivated by the Gulf of Mexico and finally, after years of planning and saving, they are ready to take the plunge and invest in a beachfront home.

As we follow the couple, we learn that they have a tight budget of $350,000 to work with, which leaves little room for compromise. They are looking for a home that is move-in ready, has direct beach access, and stunning panoramic views of the Gulf. The couple reveals that the key to their search is finding a property that can accommodate their large family when they come to visit, and one that can serve as a vacation rental when they are not using the property themselves.

In their quest to find the perfect property, the couple is paired with local real estate agent, Chris, who is familiar with the area and the market. Using his expertise, he takes them to a number of beachfront properties that meet their criteria, including a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo situated right on the Gulf with an asking price of $299,000, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom beach home priced at $325,000, and a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo with stunning views of the Gulf and an asking price of $349,000.

Throughout their search, the couple carefully considers each of the properties they visit, weighing the pros and cons of each. They are impressed by the condo that is situated closest to the water, but are put off by the price tag and the fact that it only has two bedrooms. They are also drawn to the three-bedroom beach home, but feel like they could get more for their money elsewhere.

As the couple continues to search, they are impressed with the final property they are shown. It is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo that meets all of their criteria and has a reasonable asking price of $330,000. The condo boasts stunning views of the Gulf, a spacious balcony, and a prime location just steps from the beach. The couple is thrilled with the property and decides to make an offer.

However, their excitement is short-lived when they are informed that there are two other offers on the property. Despite this, the couple remains hopeful and decides to put in their best offer. They wait anxiously for the verdict, and to their delight, they learn that their offer has been accepted.

In the final scenes of the episode, we see Thomas and Erin celebrate their new purchase with Chris. The couple couldn't be happier with their beachfront bargain and eagerly await their move-in date. They reflect on their long-time dream of living on the beach, and the satisfaction of knowing that they were able to accomplish their goal.
