House Hunters Season 2017 Episode 108 Mom Knows Best in Portland

In this episode of House Hunters, a mother-daughter team sets their sights on finding the perfect home for the family in Portland, Oregon. The daughter is branching out on her own for the first time and her mother accompanies her to help with the decision-making process.

The two begin their search with a modest budget of $350,000. They are looking for a home with at least two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a spacious living area where the whole family can gather. Additionally, they have some specific must-haves, including a backyard for the family dog to play in and proximity to public transportation for the daughter's work commute.

The first home they visit is a cozy, updated bungalow in the Montavilla neighborhood. It has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a recently renovated kitchen and living area. The mother is thrilled with the charming front porch and the daughter is excited about the finished basement that could serve as a third bedroom or additional living space. The home also has a large backyard with a patio perfect for hosting barbeques. However, the location of the home is not as convenient for public transportation as they were hoping for.

Next, the mother-daughter duo head to the Northeast Portland neighborhood of Rose City Park to view a spacious mid-century modern home. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this home has plenty of space for the daughter's growing family. The living area has an open floor plan and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The home also boasts a large deck and backyard, perfect for entertaining. However, the home is slightly over budget and doesn't have the same level of updates as the previous home they viewed.

The third home they tour is in the hip Southeast Portland neighborhood of Hawthorne. The home is a craftsman-style bungalow with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The interior has been recently updated with modern finishes, including an updated kitchen and a remodeled bathroom. The backyard is small but cozy, and the location is ideal for the daughter's work commute. However, the home is also slightly over budget.

After touring these three homes, the mother and daughter must make a decision on which one to make an offer on. Each home had its pros and cons, but ultimately they decide to make an offer on the Montavilla bungalow. They love the charm of the home and the potential for the finished basement to serve as a third bedroom or additional living space. Plus, the backyard is perfect for their family dog to play in.

Overall, this episode of House Hunters shows the importance of having a trusted family member or friend to help with the home buying process. The mother's guidance and support were critical to finding the perfect home for the daughter and her growing family.
