House Hunters Season 17 Episode 10 Hawaiian Home Hopes

In this episode of House Hunters, a couple from California is looking for their dream home in Hawaii. The couple, Mark and Janelle, have been vacationing on the island for years and they have finally decided to make the move permanent. Mark is a software manager and Janelle is a stay-at-home mom to their two young children.

The couple is looking for a home with an ocean view, plenty of outdoor space, and a modern design. Their budget is $1.5 million, which is on the higher end for Hawaii. They have enlisted the help of local real estate agent, Lisa Willers, to help them navigate the competitive island market.

The first home they tour is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in the Diamond Head neighborhood. The house is modern and sleek with a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the ocean. However, the couple is concerned that the outdoor area is too small for their kids to play in and that the neighborhood is too busy for their liking.

Next, they see a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house in the Hawaii Kai neighborhood. The house is surrounded by lush greenery and has a large lanai with beautiful ocean views. The couple loves the outdoor space, but they are disappointed that the interior of the house feels dated and would require some renovations.

Their third option is a five-bedroom, four-bathroom house in the Kailua neighborhood. This house has a lot of space, both indoor and outdoor, with a big lawn for their kids to play in. The house has a very traditional Hawaiian feel, which the couple loves, but they worry it may be difficult to modernize the space to their liking.

After much deliberation, the couple makes a decision and puts in an offer on one of the homes. However, the competitive market on the island proves to be a challenge and they soon realize that they may need to adjust their expectations. Will the couple be able to find their Hawaiian dream home within their budget?

Overall, this episode of House Hunters showcases the beauty and challenges of real estate in Hawaii. The stunning ocean views, lush greenery, and traditional Hawaiian architecture are a draw for many homebuyers, but the competitive market and high prices can be difficult to navigate. Mark and Janelle's journey to find their perfect home serves as a reminder that finding the right home requires a lot of patience, flexibility, and compromise.
