In season 1 episode 7 of House Hunters, titled "Moving Back to the City," viewers follow along as a couple looking to move back into the heart of the city after spending time in the suburbs embarks on a house hunting journey.
The episode begins with a brief introduction of the couple, who explain that they have grown tired of the long commute and lack of activity in the suburbs. They long to be closer to the city's restaurants, nightlife, and cultural events.
The couple's budget is set at around $500,000, and they are looking for a home that has at least two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and plenty of natural light. They have also expressed a preference for a newer property with modern amenities.
Their real estate agent shows them three different properties in the city, each with its own unique features.
The first property is a brand new condo located in a trendy neighborhood. The building is sleek and modern, featuring amenities such as a pool and gym. The condo itself has an open floor plan, with large windows letting in plenty of natural light. However, the couple is put off by the lack of privacy and the fact that they would have to share the building's amenities with other residents.
Next, the couple is shown a small townhouse located in another up-and-coming neighborhood. While the townhome is older and more traditional in style, it has been recently renovated and features all of the modern amenities the couple is seeking. They appreciate the added privacy of having their own free-standing home, but are taken aback by the lack of outdoor space.
Finally, the couple is shown a loft-style apartment in a historic building that has been converted for modern living. The loft features high ceilings and large windows, giving it an open and airy feel. The couple is enamored with the character and charm of the building and the neighborhood, but are hesitant about the lack of privacy as well as the challenge of maintaining such a large open space.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a glimpse into the couple's decision-making process as they weigh the pros and cons of each property. They discuss their goals for the future, such as potentially starting a family, and how each property would fit into those plans.
At the end of the episode, the couple ultimately makes a decision on which property to purchase. Viewers are left to wonder whether their ultimate choice will be the best fit for their needs and lifestyle in the long run.
