House Hunters Season 2016 Episode 103 Husband Moves Family to Native Paramus, N.J.
- August 17, 2016
In this episode of House Hunters, we follow a husband who has decided it's time to move his family to his hometown of Paramus, New Jersey. The husband has been living in Colorado for the past few years but wants to be closer to family and raise his children in his hometown. His wife is hesitant at first, having never been to New Jersey, but agrees to give it a chance.
The couple is looking for a home with at least three bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a large backyard for their children to play in. They have a budget of $600,000 to work with and want to be in a good school district. The husband is also looking for a home with a basement so he can have a space for his hobbies.
Their first stop is a newly renovated colonial-style home in a desirable neighborhood. The home has four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and an open concept kitchen and living area. The backyard is smaller than they had hoped but still provides enough space for their kids to play. The husband loves the finished basement, which has built-in bookcases and enough space for his hobbies. The wife is impressed with the home's new appliances and modern finishes. However, the home is at the top of their budget, and they would have to sacrifice on other things such as home improvements.
Next, they visit a split-level home with four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and has a large backyard. The home has a finished basement, but it's not as spacious as the one in the first home. The wife likes the home's hardwood floors and open floor plan, but the husband notices some needed updates, including a new roof and windows. The asking price is under their budget, leaving room for renovations.
Lastly, they take a look at a contemporary-style home. The home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a large backyard. The house has a unique layout, with the kitchen being on the second floor. The first floor has a large living area, perfect for hosting guests. The husband is thrilled to see the home has a large workshop that would suit his hobbies. The wife likes the home's character and how the layout offers privacy for each family member. The only downside is the home is in need of some minor repairs, and the asking price is at the top of their budget.
After touring the three homes, the couple must decide which one is the best fit for their family. They weigh the pros and cons of each home and decide to make an offer on the contemporary-style home. They plan to negotiate with the seller to address the needed repairs. The couple is excited to move closer to family and start a new chapter in their hometown of Paramus, New Jersey.
