House Hunters Season 113 Episode 8 Conflict in the Boston 'Burbs

As people search to settle in one of the beautiful suburban towns in Boston, this episode of House Hunters features a couple looking for a house around a specific budget in a tough market. The couple's budget constraints means that they will have a hard time finding their dream home because the property rates are generally high in the area. With a lot of desire to settle in the area while starting a family, the couple will have to compromise on some aspects such as property features and location.

The first house that the couple sees has a stunning view of the water with a charming rustic style. The property is a little more expensive but falls within their budget range. The house has a cozy living room and a giant stone fireplace and the interior of the home has high vaulted ceilings and attractive wooden structures. However, the house is in need of some significant renovation to make it more comfortable. While the couple is not afraid of remodeling, they are not sure if they would want to take on such a large project as their first home. Furthermore, the location of the house is considerably farther from the city than they had hoped.

The second house they see is beautiful. The outside of the property is well maintained with all kinds of flower beds and mature trees that make walking down the street a pleasant experience. The couple is thrilled with the architectural design of the house and loves the high ceilings and spacious bedrooms. The house is in a desirable neighborhood, but with such a great design in a preferred location, it is more expensive than the couple had intended. The house is also small when compared to others in the area, and the occasional noise from the street with the small distance between it and the highway is a concern for the couple as well.

The third and final property bears a reduced price tag and is quite close to the city. The house has many updates already completed, and the couple particularly loves the hardwood floors and the natural light flooding the home. However, the drawbacks of the home are significant; the reduced price tag reflects its loathsome factors such as leaky plumbing or a questionable foundation.

While they all have their pros and cons, the properties leave the couple with conflicting emotions as they each chip away at their budget and their peace of mind. The couple must now weigh and compare all of the benefits that they found in each house and compromise on what matters to them most, which turns out to be a challenge.
