House Hunters Season 2015 Episode 131 Brian and John Shop for a New Home in Seattle

Brian and John Shop for a New Home in Seattle is an episode from the popular house-hunting show House Hunters, which premiered in 2015. The episode follows Brian and John, a couple who are looking to purchase a new home in Seattle. The pair have been together for several years, and have decided that it's time to find a new home that they can call their own.

The episode begins with Brian and John explaining their search criteria to their real estate agent. They are looking for a home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and plenty of natural light. They also want a backyard where they can entertain friends and family. The couple has a budget of $750,000, which is a sizable sum for the Seattle housing market.

The first home that the couple views is a charming Craftsman-style house in the Green Lake neighborhood. The home has beautiful hardwood floors, crown molding, and a lovely fireplace in the living room. The kitchen is spacious and features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and plenty of cabinet space. The backyard is also impressive, with a large deck and plenty of space for gardening. Although Brian and John both fall in love with the home, it's ultimately out of their price range and they must continue their search.

The next home that the couple sees is a brand-new townhouse in the Ballard neighborhood. The home is sleek and modern, with an open floor plan and plenty of windows. The kitchen is stunning, with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and plenty of storage space. The backyard is small, but Brian and John are still impressed with the home. However, there's one major downside – the townhouse is located on a busy street, which makes outside noise and traffic a concern.

The third home that the couple views is a charming bungalow in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood. The home has been beautifully updated with new appliances and fixtures, while still retaining its original charm. The backyard is small, but the home is located near several parks and green spaces. The one downside is that the home only has two bedrooms, which is not ideal for Brian and John. However, they love the home and are seriously considering it.

The final home that the couple sees is a stunning mid-century modern home in the Magnolia neighborhood. The home has a unique design with plenty of natural light and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The kitchen is large and modern, with high-end appliances and plenty of counter space. The home also features a large backyard and beautiful outdoor space. Although the home is slightly over budget, Brian and John are both smitten and seriously considering putting in an offer.

Throughout the episode, Brian and John also discuss their decision-making process and what they're looking for in a home. They both want a home that they can grow into and start a family in. However, they also want to make sure that they're financially responsible and don't overspend on a home that they can't afford.

In the end, Brian and John must make a difficult decision. All four homes that they saw had their pros and cons, and none of them were perfect. However, after weighing their options, the couple ultimately decides to put in an offer on the mid-century modern home in Magnolia. The home was slightly over their budget, but they both fell in love with it and felt that it was worth the extra cost. The episode ends with the couple excitedly planning their move into their new dream home.
