- February 18, 2014
In House Hunters season 2014 episode 22 titled "Learning to Compromise in Lexington, Kentucky," viewers follow a couple, Jen and Pat, as they search for their dream home in the Bluegrass state. After living abroad for several years, they are back in the States and ready to settle down in a single-family home that meets both of their needs and expectations.
Jen is a professor at the University of Kentucky and wants a home near campus, so she doesn't have to commute far. She also enjoys running, so she would like to live in a neighborhood with good sidewalks and nearby parks. Pat, on the other hand, grew up in the country and wants a more secluded, private home with land for a garden and (eventual) animals.
The couple's budget is around $350,000, which can get them quite a bit in Lexington. Their real estate agent shows them three different properties that meet their requirements. The first is a modern split-level home that's close to campus and has a lot of natural light. While Jen loves it, Pat thinks it lacks character and privacy.
The second property is a historic farmhouse with plenty of land for gardening and animals. Pat is in love with the property's old-world charm, but Jen is worried about the house's maintenance and the fact that it's further from campus than she would like. They both agree they would need to devote significant time and effort into fixing the house up to meet their needs.
The third property is a newer home with a spacious yard, but it's further from campus than they would like. However, it has modern amenities like a chef's kitchen and plenty of space for entertaining. While Jen and Pat both like the home, they don't love it and agree that it's their least favorite of the three options.
As the couple discusses their options and priorities, they struggle to come to a compromise. Jen wants to be close to campus, while Pat wants more land and privacy. Ultimately, they have to weigh the pros and cons and figure out what's most important to them.
Without giving away the ending, viewers can expect to see Jen and Pat make a decision they feel good about. They also reflect on what they learned from the process, like the importance of compromise and good communication when making big decisions as a couple.
Overall, "Learning to Compromise in Lexington, Kentucky" is a relatable and engaging episode of House Hunters that showcases the ups and downs of the home buying process. Not only is it entertaining, but it also offers helpful insights into what to consider when looking for a home that meets both partners' needs.
