House Hunters International Season 154 Episode 7 Family Finds a Fit in Cork

In this episode of House Hunters International, a family from the United States is on the hunt for a new home in Cork, Ireland. The family consists of a father who currently works in Pennsylvania, a mother who is originally from Ireland, and their two young daughters. The family has decided to relocate to Ireland so that their daughters can grow up closer to their Irish heritage and extended family.

The episode opens with the family arriving in Cork and meeting with their real estate agent, who gives them an overview of the local housing market. The family's budget is around €300,000 (roughly $350,000), which the real estate agent tells them is a reasonable amount for a family home in Cork.

The family's main priorities for their new home are a good location, a safe neighborhood, and plenty of outdoor space for their daughters to play. The father is also hoping to find a home with a view, while the mother is more focused on finding a home with character and charm.

The first home the family visits is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in a suburban neighborhood. The house is modern and newly renovated, with a sleek, minimalist design. While the parents are impressed by the house's clean lines and modern finishes, the daughters are less enthused and find the house dull.

The second home on the list is a four-bedroom detached house in a quiet, leafy suburb. The house is older and more traditional in style, with plenty of character and charm. The family is immediately drawn to the house's large, sunny garden and spacious bedrooms. However, the house is farther out of town and the commute would be longer for the father.

The third home the family visits is a three-bedroom townhouse in the heart of Cork city center. The house is narrow and tall, with three floors of living space. While the family loves the house's central location and proximity to shops and restaurants, they are concerned about the noise and lack of privacy that comes with living in the city center.

After viewing the three homes, the family sits down with their real estate agent to discuss their options. The parents are torn between the second and third homes, each with their own pros and cons. Ultimately, they decide to make an offer on the detached house in the leafy suburb, citing its spacious bedrooms and large garden as the deciding factors.

The episode ends with the family moving into their new home and getting settled in their new surroundings. They express their excitement over being closer to the mother's family and immersing their daughters in Irish culture and traditions.
