The last house they view is a three-bedroom property with a spacious yard and a two-car garage. The interior of the house is very well maintained, with updated appliances and modern finishes, but they are not as thrilled with the backyard as they hoped to be.
After all the viewings, the couple discusses the pros and cons of each property with Ginny, but eventually reach a decision.
