House Hunters Season 2015 Episode 137 Location vs. New Construction in Virginia Beach

In this episode of House Hunters, viewers follow a newlywed couple, Sarah and James, as they search for their dream home in Virginia Beach. The couple is faced with the dilemma of choosing between a move-in-ready home in a desirable location or a brand new construction in a less sought-after area.

Sarah and James are looking for a home that suits their young family's needs and their budget. They have a preference for a spacious and comfortable home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a backyard for their little daughter to play in.

The couple's first visit is to a charming four-bedroom, two-bathroom home situated in a well-established neighborhood near the beach. The house features a large living room, an updated kitchen, and a fenced-in backyard with a big deck that is perfect for barbeques and entertaining. Sarah and James are impressed by the property's location and the convenience of having all the amenities within walking distance. They visualize themselves spending time at the beach, visiting the parks, and enjoying the local restaurants. The real estate agent explains that the homeowners have already done all the necessary upgrades, making the property move-in ready.

However, Sarah and James are also interested in exploring the option of a new construction that they could customize to their specific tastes. Their next stop is a brand new development located in a less desirable area. The newly built home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious kitchen and living area. The home is unfurnished, but the couple is impressed by the potential of creating their own dream home. The real estate agent points out that the couple could choose their finishes, as well as adjust the floor plan to their liking. While the location is not ideal, Sarah and James are intrigued by the idea of a home they could personalize.

Finally, the couple visits a third property, another new construction located in an up-and-coming neighborhood. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is well designed, with an open floor plan and modern amenities. The real estate agent highlights the benefits of living in a newer home, including energy efficiency and low maintenance. The neighborhood is still under development, with construction continuing on other homes. Although Sarah and James think that the home is beautiful, they wonder how long it would take for the neighborhood to fully develop. They also question whether the new construction would be as high-quality as the move-in-ready home they had seen earlier.

Throughout the episode, viewers see the couple deliberating between choosing a location near amenities or the opportunity to customize a new construction. Sarah and James must decide whether to invest in a move-in-ready home or take the risk of building a new home in an up-and-coming location.

As the episode concludes, Sarah and James finally reach a decision. Viewers will have to tune in to see which property the couple chooses - the move-in-ready home near the beach, the new construction in the less desirable area, or the newly built home in the up-and-coming neighborhood.
