House Hunters Season 2013 Episode 12 Texas Transplants Hunt For A Home In The Houston Suburbs

In this episode of House Hunters, we meet Ashley and Trey, a young couple from Los Angeles who are relocating to Houston, Texas for Ashley's job. They are looking for a home in the suburbs of Houston, near her workplace, with a budget of $350,000.

The episode begins with the couple meeting their real estate agent, Kristin, and touring their first house in the Cypress area. The house is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with an open floor plan and a spacious backyard. Although Ashley loves the house and especially the walk-in closet, Trey is not a fan of the location and feels it is too far from his job downtown.

Their next stop is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the Katy area. This home has a large kitchen and a backyard pool, which catches Ashley's eye. However, Trey is not a fan of the outdated bathroom and the lack of a separate shower in the master bedroom.

The couple's third stop is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in the Spring area. This house has a unique feature in the form of a second-story balcony overlooking the backyard. Ashley loves the balcony and Trey likes the location, but they both agree that the kitchen is too small.

Their fourth stop is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in the Sugar Land area. This house has an updated kitchen and a large backyard, but Ashley is concerned about the distance from her workplace. Trey, however, thinks it's worth the commute if they can get this house.

Their fifth and final stop is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in the Katy area. This house has a spacious kitchen with granite countertops and a three-car garage, but both Ashley and Trey are underwhelmed by the backyard and the lack of natural light.

After viewing all the houses, Ashley and Trey sit down with Kristin to discuss their options. Although Ashley loved the first house in Cypress, they decide that the location is too inconvenient for Trey's job. The house with the backyard pool in Katy is also ruled out due to the outdated bathroom. They also eliminate the house in Spring due to the small kitchen.

That leaves them with the house in Sugar Land and the house in Katy. After much deliberation, they decide that the house in Sugar Land is the best fit for them. Despite the longer commute for Ashley, they love the updated kitchen and the large backyard. They put in an offer and the episode ends with them excitedly waiting to hear back from the seller.

Overall, this episode of House Hunters showcases the challenges of relocating to a new city and the importance of finding the perfect balance between location, features, and budget. Ashley and Trey ultimately found a home that met their needs and they were both satisfied with their decision.
