House Hunters Season 20 Episode 6 Searching for a San Diego Starter Home

In season 20 episode 6 of House Hunters, viewers are taken to sunny San Diego where a young couple searches for their first home. The couple, Amy and David, are currently living in a rented apartment but are ready to start building equity in their own property.

As the episode begins, the couple is shown sitting down with their real estate agent, Lisa, to discuss their preferences and budget. Amy and David are open to different neighborhoods in San Diego, as long as they are within a 30-minute commute to their jobs. Lisa takes notes on their wants and needs, including a three-bedroom house with a yard for their dog and a budget of $500,000.

The first house Lisa shows the couple is in the suburban neighborhood of Poway. The house is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch-style home with a spacious backyard. The couple is excited to see the house, but their enthusiasm wanes as they find the home is slightly smaller than they had hoped. The couple's dog also seems unimpressed with the backyard, which is small and mostly concrete. The house is priced at $489,000, leaving the couple with some extra cash to renovate the home to their liking.

The second house Lisa shows the couple is located in the coastal neighborhood of Ocean Beach. The area is known for its laidback vibe and bohemian charm. The house is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow with a small front yard and a cozy backyard. The couple is smitten with the house's character and the neighborhood's walkability. However, the second bedroom is too small to serve as a guest room, which is a dealbreaker for the couple. The house is priced at $499,000, leaving little room for renovations.

The third house Lisa shows the couple is in the urban neighborhood of North Park. The area is known for its trendy restaurants, bars, and shops. The house is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom craftsman-style home with a spacious backyard. The couple loves the house's charm, but the bathroom's outdated design and lack of a second bathroom are turn-offs. The house is priced at $499,000, leaving a little extra room in the budget for renovations.

As the episode progresses, viewers see the couple weighing the pros and cons of each house, discussing which features are must-haves and which ones they can compromise on. Amy and David's passion for each other and their dreams of homeownership are evident as they come to a final decision.

In the end, viewers are left waiting to see which house the couple will choose and if they'll be able to stick to their budget. The episode showcases the competitive San Diego housing market and the challenges of finding the perfect starter home. It also highlights the importance of compromise and communication when making such a big decision.
