House Hunters Season 2015 Episode 47 Twenty-Something Wants Fixer Upper in Illinois

Twenty-Something Wants Fixer Upper in Illinois is the 47th episode of the House Hunters season 2015. The episode follows a young couple, Joe and Sarah, who are looking to buy their first home in Illinois. Joe, who is in his early twenties, is a handyman and has always dreamed of buying a fixer-upper that he can renovate himself. Sarah, on the other hand, wants a home that is move-in ready, as she has zero interest in any DIY projects.

The episode begins with the couple walking into a real estate office, looking for guidance on where to start their search. Their budget is $200,000, and they want a house that has at least three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The couple's first stop is a ranch-style home that is move-in ready. Sarah is immediately drawn to the home's modern and tasteful decor, while Joe is a bit underwhelmed by the house's lack of character.

The next house they visit is a fixer-upper that's slightly over budget, but Joe is excited about the home's potential. The house is an old Victorian-style home that needs a lot of work, but Joe sees it as a blank slate that he can make his own. Sarah, however, is not convinced. The house's vintage charm is lost on her, and she is concerned about the amount of work that the house will require.

Their third stop is a split-level house that is within their budget. The house has a large backyard and plenty of natural light, which are two of the couple's top priorities. However, the house only has two bedrooms and one bathroom, which Sarah is hesitant about. Joe, on the other hand, thinks that the house's potential outweighs the lack of bedrooms and bathrooms.

As their search continues, Sarah and Joe become more and more divided on what they want in a home. Sarah can't stand the idea of living in a fixer-upper, while Joe can't imagine living in a house that doesn't allow him to put his handyman skills to use. After a few more viewings, the couple finally finds a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house that's move-in ready and has the potential for Joe to make some minor renovations. Sarah is happy that the house doesn't require major renovation, and Joe is excited about having some DIY projects to work on.

In the end, the couple decides to put in an offer on the move-in ready home that has some potential for minor renovations. The couple is thrilled that they were able to find a home that satisfies both of their needs. While Sarah is happy to avoid having to deal with any major renovation, Joe is excited to put his handyman skills to use and make some minor changes to the house.

Overall, Twenty-Something Wants Fixer Upper in Illinois is an entertaining episode that showcases the challenges that young couples face when trying to find their first home. The episode is relatable, as many couples have differing opinions on what they want in a home. The episode also showcases the importance of compromise when looking for a home that satisfies everyone's needs.
