House Hunters International Season 28 Episode 23 Snowbird Sanctuary in Huatulco, Mexico

In the 23rd episode of House Hunters International's 28th season, viewers are taken on a journey to Huatulco, Mexico, where a couple from Colorado seeks a snowbird sanctuary. The couple, who are retired and looking for a warmer place to spend their winters, have a budget of $200,000 and want to find a place that's close to the beach. The episode begins with the couple, Tom and Sandee, in Huatulco and meeting with their real estate agent, Jirah. Jirah introduces them to three properties that fit their criteria.

The first property they visit is a small condo near the beach, priced at $175,000. While the location is great and the condo has a pool, Tom and Sandee are put off by the small size of the unit. They feel it would be difficult to entertain guests in such a small space, and they're also concerned that it may not be the best investment given its size.

Next up is a condo in a new development that is priced at $195,000. This property is bigger than the first one they saw, and Tom and Sandee are happy with the size. However, they're not as impressed with the location, which is a bit farther from the beach than they would like. They're also unsure about this development since it's still under construction, and they're worried about potential construction noise.

The last property that Jirah shows them is a larger, more expensive house priced at $230,000. It's more private and has an amazing view of the ocean. However, Tom and Sandee have some reservations. They find the house to be too big for just the two of them, and they're worried about the upkeep costs. Although they like the location, they're still a bit concerned about the distance from the beach.

After viewing the three properties, Tom and Sandee sit down with Jirah to discuss what they've seen. They're not completely sold on any of the three options, but they do have a better idea of what they're looking for. They're still hoping to find something closer to the beach, while not compromising on the size and the budget.

Jirah does some more research and comes up with a fourth option that he thinks will be perfect for Tom and Sandee. This property is located in a quiet neighborhood, a five-minute walk from the beach, and priced at $199,000. They visit the property and immediately fall in love. The house is spacious without being too big, and it has a beautiful outdoor space and pool. Tom and Sandee feel that this property ticks all their boxes, and they make an offer on the spot.

The episode ends with Tom and Sandee ecstatic to have found their snowbird sanctuary in Huatulco, Mexico. They're excited to spend their winters in this beautiful location, and they're grateful for Jirah's help in finding the perfect property. House Hunters International season 28 episode 23 is a heartwarming exploration of finding a new home in a beautiful place.
