House Hunters Season 2014 Episode 5 Twenty-something House Hunts on Tight Budget in Spartanburg South Carolina

Twenty-somethings are notorious for their adventurous spirit, and in this episode of House Hunters, we meet a couple who are eager to find their first home together in Spartanburg, South Carolina. But with a tight budget, this house hunt won't be easy.

The episode starts with a quick introduction to the couple, a bubbly and enthusiastic pair named Jamie and Marcus who are both in their mid-twenties. They've been together for two years, and have decided that now is the time to take the plunge into homeownership.

Jamie and Marcus are currently living in an apartment in downtown Spartanburg, but they're ready to move into a more permanent space that they can call their own. However, they're constrained by a tight budget, and they want to keep their monthly mortgage payment under $900.

Their budgetary constraints mean that they will likely have to compromise on some things that they would like in a home. Jamie and Marcus both would love a big backyard for their two dogs to play in, but they know that this might not be possible. They're also open to buying a fixer-upper, as long as the repairs are manageable and won't eat up too much of their budget.

The couple meets with their real estate agent, Travis, who takes them to see three different homes. The first is a charming bungalow in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood. The house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a big backyard that could be perfect for the dogs. It's move-in ready and has a lot of character, but the couple worries that it's slightly out of their price range.

Next, Travis takes Jamie and Marcus to see a newer, ranch-style home on the outskirts of town. This home is more affordable, and it has a lot of features that the couple loves, like an open-concept kitchen and living room and a big master suite. However, the backyard is quite small, and the couple worries that they'll feel cramped if they move in.

Finally, the couple sees a fixer-upper that's closer to their price range. This home is a little rough around the edges, but it has a lot of potential. It's a two-story home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, and it's in a great location. However, the home needs some work, like a new roof and new flooring, and the couple worries that the repairs will be too expensive.

After viewing the homes, Jamie and Marcus sit down with Travis to discuss which home they should choose. They go back and forth, weighing the pros and cons of each property. Ultimately, they decide to put in an offer on the charming bungalow. While it's slightly more expensive than they had hoped, they feel that it's the perfect home for them and their dogs.

The episode ends with Jamie and Marcus moving into their new home. They're thrilled to have found a space that they can make their own, and they're excited to start their new life together in Spartanburg.

Overall, this episode of House Hunters showcases the challenges that many millennials face when trying to buy their first home. With a tight budget, it can be hard to find a home that meets all of your needs and wants. But with determination and a little bit of compromise, Jamie and Marcus were able to find a home that they love.
