House Hunters Season 17 Episode 5: Larger Wilmington Digs Wanted
In episode 5 of season 17 of House Hunters, the focus is on Wilmington, a port city in North Carolina. The episode titled "Larger Wilmington Digs Wanted" follows three buyers from different backgrounds, each in search of their dream home.
The episode starts with Annette, an art enthusiast who wants a larger home with plenty of space to showcase her collection. Annette and her real estate agent, Glenn, tour different homes in the Wilmington area, trying to find one with ample room to display her art. However, Annette's taste is specific, and she is not easy to please. As they visit various properties, Glenn learns that Annette wants a modern design with an open floor plan and enough wall space to hang her paintings. The first house they visit has the square footage that Annette is looking for, but the living space has closed-off rooms and narrow hallways. The second house has an open floor plan, but it doesn't have enough wall space for her many art pieces. After a few more homes that fall short of her expectations, they finally find one that ticks all the boxes - a spacious home with plenty of wall space and an open floor plan that can perfectly display her art.
The second house hunter in this episode is Jeff, and he's looking for a home with plenty of space for his family. Jeff is moving to Wilmington to be closer to his young daughter and wants a home they can both enjoy. His real estate agent, Donna, is tasked with finding him a home with a big backyard, perfect for his daughter to play in. Jeff is also looking for a home with no work needed- one that has already been updated and is move-in ready. Jeff and Donna tour several homes in the Wilmington area, and while he likes several of them, none fulfill all his criteria. Then, they come across a beautiful home that is move-in ready with a perfect backyard. It's spacious enough for both Jeff and his daughter to enjoy themselves, creating their fun-filled memories.
Thirdly, the episode follows Nick, a young professional who is tired of renting and is now ready to buy his first home. Nick's real estate agent, Meredith, is tasked with finding a starter home in an affordable price range. Nick has a limited budget, so his property options are not as many as Annette's or Jeff's. He'd like a home that has a big backyard for his dog and a garage for his motorcycle. The first home that he visits has a massive backyard but no garage. The second house he visits has a garage, but the backyard is smaller than he'd expected. Meredith keeps searching, and they finally find a house that checks all the boxes. It has a huge backyard and a garage for his motorcycle- Nick has found his starter home.
In conclusion, the episode "Larger Wilmington Digs Wanted" follows three buyers searching for homes in the beautiful city. Each faces their unique challenges in finding their perfect home, but, in the end, they each find a property that best meets their specific needs. The episode is well worth the watch for fans of the House Hunters series, and the insights it provides into the Wilmington housing market.
