House Hunters International Season 144 Episode 10 Lower Costs in Boquete, Panama

A couple from the United States is hoping to escape the high costs of living in their current city and find a more affordable home in Boquete, Panama. They've heard that the small mountain town is a popular destination for expats seeking a slower pace of life, warmer weather, and beautiful natural surroundings. With a budget of $200,000, they hope to find a cozy two-bedroom home with a garden and scenic views of the surrounding mountains.

Their House Hunters International journey begins with a visit to their real estate agent, who shows them a few properties that fit their criteria. Their first stop is a two-bedroom townhouse with a shared garden and a view of the nearby coffee plantations. While they appreciate the cozy atmosphere of the home, they are somewhat disappointed by its lack of privacy and the fact that they would have to share the garden with other residents.

The couple's next stop is a charming two-bedroom home with a large garden and fruit trees, located in a quiet residential area of Boquete. They immediately fall in love with the property's serene surroundings and the abundant natural beauty of the nearby forests and mountains. However, they are hesitant about the home's rustic feel and the fact that it is unfurnished.

Their third option is a spacious two-bedroom house with a modern design and a beautiful view of the Boquete valley. The home features high ceilings, an open plan living area, and a fully equipped kitchen with high-quality appliances. The couple is impressed by the home's sleek design and the stunning view, but they worry that it may be beyond their budget.

After careful consideration, the couple ultimately decides to put in an offer on the third property, despite its slightly higher price tag. They are drawn to the home's modern design, well-equipped kitchen, and stunning views of Boquete and the surrounding mountains. They also appreciate the home's location in a quiet residential area, which offers a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

As the episode ends, the couple is shown settling into their new home, enjoying a cup of coffee on their terrace as they take in the breathtaking scenery of Boquete. They reflect on the challenges and rewards of their House Hunters International experience, and they express gratitude for the opportunity to start a new life in a place that is both beautiful and affordable.
