- July 19, 2013
In this episode of House Hunters International, a couple from the United States is on the hunt for a new home in Vilnius, Lithuania. The couple, who have been living in Spain, have decided to move back to Vilnius to be closer to family and friends.
The episode opens with the couple discussing their excitement about the move and the challenges they expect to face in finding a new home. They are particularly nervous about the language barrier and the differences in real estate practices between Spain and Lithuania.
Their real estate agent meets them at the airport and takes them to their first property, a three-bedroom apartment in a modern building. The couple is impressed with the space and the location, but they are concerned about the lack of privacy and the fact that the building is still under construction.
Next, the couple visits a two-bedroom apartment in an older building. Despite its smaller size, the apartment has a lot of charm and character, with original details like hardwood floors and high ceilings. The location is also very central, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions.
The couple's third option is a spacious four-bedroom apartment in a brand-new building. The apartment has all the modern conveniences the couple is looking for, including a large kitchen and a balcony. However, the location is further from the city center than they would like.
Throughout the episode, the couple discusses their priorities and weighs the pros and cons of each property. They are particularly focused on finding a home that is close to family and friends, while still being in a vibrant and culturally rich area.
In the end, the couple makes their decision and puts in an offer on one of the properties. Although they faced challenges along the way, they are thrilled to have found their new home in Vilnius and are excited to start this new chapter of their lives.
Overall, this episode of House Hunters International offers a fascinating look at the real estate market in Vilnius, Lithuania, and the challenges of relocating to a new country.
