House Hunters Season 2016 Episode 123 Almost Empty Nesters Consider Downsizing In Louisville, Ky

In this episode of House Hunters, we follow a couple of almost empty nesters who are considering downsizing their home from their large family house in Louisville, Kentucky. The couple, Fred and Susan, have raised their children in the family home and are now looking for a home that is a better fit for their current lifestyle.

Their current home, while beautiful and spacious, is now much more than they need now that their children have moved out. Fred is set on finding a home with a smaller yard so he can spend more time pursuing his hobbies and less time mowing the lawn. Susan, on the other hand, is focused on finding a home with a functional kitchen and cozy living spaces where the couple can relax and entertain family and friends.

The episode follows Fred and Susan as they meet with their real estate agent and look at three different homes in and around the Louisville area. Their first home is a newly renovated cottage in the trendy neighborhood of Germantown. The home is smaller than their current house but boasts a chef's kitchen and updated bathrooms. The couple seems excited about the possibilities in this home and discuss how they could make it their own. However, they do express concerns about the smaller size of the home and wonder if they'll miss their larger home's space.

Their second home is a condo in the heart of the city. The condo is in a high-rise building and offers spectacular views of the city. The building offers amenities like a gym and a pool, which the couple thinks they would enjoy. Susan seems impressed with the condo's modern finishes and amenities, but Fred is hesitant about living in a building with so many rules and regulations.

Their third home is a recently updated ranch home in a mature neighborhood. The home is similar in size to their current home but offers a more manageable yard. The couple is impressed with the home's layout, which features a large living area and a functional kitchen. They also note that the home seems to offer a lot of potential for customization and updating in the future.

After viewing the three homes, Fred and Susan discuss their options and weigh the pros and cons of each home. They agree that while they loved the renovated cottage in Germantown, the smaller size may be too much of a change for them at this stage in their lives. They also agree that the condo, while offering fantastic amenities, may not be the best fit for their lifestyle and the amount of privacy they need.

Ultimately, the couple decides to put an offer on the ranch-style home. They feel the home offers them the right amount of space and functionality they need, while also having the potential for customization in the future. The episode ends with Fred and Susan excitedly moving into their new home and looking forward to the next chapter in their lives.

Overall, this episode of House Hunters follows a relatable and familiar storyline of almost empty nesters looking to downsize. The show does an excellent job of showcasing different types of homes and lifestyles, and viewers can see the pros and cons of each option. The episode ends on a positive note, with the couple finding a home that suits their needs and is a perfect next step in their lives.
