House Hunters International Season 120 Episode 3 From Desert to Prairie

Ben and Emily are a young couple living in Dubai, but they crave a more peaceful and family-friendly lifestyle. They have decided to relocate to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where Emily grew up. Ben is excited about the possibility of living in a city with a strong economy and great schools, but he is concerned about the harsh winters, which he has never experienced before. Emily is looking forward to being closer to her family and introducing their young son to his Canadian heritage.

The couple has a budget of $650,000 CAD and hopes to find a spacious and modern home in a safe and family-oriented neighborhood. They also want to be close to the amenities of the city, such as parks, restaurants, and shops, but they would consider living in a more rural area if it had a strong sense of community.

Their real estate agent, Tara, shows them three properties. The first is a spacious and newly renovated house in the suburbs, located close to a large park and several schools. The house has a large backyard and plenty of space for their son to play, but it is slightly above their budget at $680,000 CAD.

The second property is a modern and stylish condo located in the heart of downtown Calgary. The condo is within walking distance of several restaurants, shops, and parks, and it has stunning views of the city skyline. Ben loves the convenience of living downtown and Emily likes the idea of living in a building with a gym and a pool, but they are concerned about the lack of outdoor space for their son to play. The condo is within their budget at $630,000 CAD.

The third property is a spacious and rustic farmhouse located in a rural area of the prairie. The farmhouse has a large wraparound porch, a backyard with a treehouse, and a view of the nearby mountains. The property is within their budget at $650,000 CAD, but it is a 40-minute drive from the city center. Emily loves the idea of living in a house with so much charm and character, but Ben is concerned about the long commute and the potential isolation of living in a rural area.

As the couple weighs their options, they consider the pros and cons of each property and reflect on the priorities of their family. Ultimately, they must decide between the convenience and excitement of downtown living, the spaciousness and outdoor amenities of suburban living, and the charm and character of the prairie farmhouse. Will they choose the property that best suits their family's lifestyle and priorities? Tune in to find out.
