Ep 3. A Home to Call Their Own

A Home to Call Their Own is the third episode of the first season of House Hunters, where a young couple moves to a new city and must find a house to call their own. In this episode, viewers follow the journey of newlyweds Craig and Rachel who are relocating from California to Texas. The couple is excited to start the next chapter of their lives together, but they are also feeling the pressure of finding the perfect home in a city they're unfamiliar with.

The episode begins with the couple meeting with their real estate agent, Susan, to discuss their wish list for their new home. Craig and Rachel are looking for a spacious house with modern finishes, a big backyard for their dog, and a location close to Rachel's work. Susan listens carefully to their needs and takes them on a tour of three potential homes.

The first house they visit is a beautiful two-story Mediterranean-style home in a gated community. The couple is excited about the idea of living in a safe and exclusive neighborhood but soon realizes that the house is too small for their needs. Although the finishes are high-end and the backyard is spacious, the bedrooms are too cramped for their furniture.

The second house Susan shows them is a newly-built modern home with ample square footage and an open floor plan. The couple is impressed with the contemporary finishes and all the natural light that pours into the space. However, the location is too far from Rachel's work and the couple is looking for something closer.

Finally, Susan takes them to the third home, which is located in a vibrant and trendy neighborhood close to Rachel's job. The couple is excited about the location and the size of the backyard, but the interior of the house needs significant updates. The kitchen is outdated and cramped, and the bathrooms need a facelift. However, the couple sees the potential in the home and feels like it has the right bones to turn it into their dream space with a renovation project.

Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the couple's decision-making process and how they weigh the pros and cons of each home. They consider various factors, including location, size, style, and potential for renovation. Additionally, they take into account the opinions of their friends and family who join them on some of the house tours.

In the end, Craig and Rachel make their final decision, and viewers get to see their new home and how they personalize and decorate the space to make it their own. Overall, A Home to Call Their Own is a heartwarming episode that showcases the joys and challenges of house hunting, and the excitement of starting a new chapter in life.
