House Hunters Season 2015 Episode 26 North Carolina Couple Experience Sticker Shock in L.A. Area

In season 2015 episode 26 of House Hunters, a North Carolina couple experiences sticker shock as they search for a new home in the Los Angeles area. The couple, Eric and Karen, have recently relocated to California for Eric's new job and are looking for a spacious home that is within their budget. With a budget of $700,000, the couple's real estate agent shows them three different homes with varying features and locations.

The first home is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Despite its relatively small size, the condo boasts a modern design with high-end finishes and a rooftop pool. Although it offers a convenient location for Eric's commute, Karen is concerned about the lack of outdoor space and the high homeowner's association fees.

The second home is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom single-family home located in the suburbs of Burbank. The home has a spacious backyard with a pool and a large kitchen, which Karen likes. However, Eric is worried about the long commute to his office in downtown Los Angeles and the house's distance from local amenities such as restaurants and shopping centers.

The third home is a sprawling four-bedroom, three-bathroom ranch-style home located in Encino, a scenic neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. The home has a large backyard, a spacious living room, and a pool. Karen loves the home's charm and character, but Eric is hesitant about the long commute and the potential for traffic congestion.

Throughout the episode, Eric and Karen struggle to find a home that meets all of their needs and preferences within their budget. They weigh the pros and cons of each property and make compromises along the way. Ultimately, they must decide which home is the best fit for their family and lifestyle. The episode showcases the challenges of house hunting in a competitive and expensive real estate market and emphasizes the importance of finding a home that aligns with one's priorities and values.
