- July 26, 2017
House Hunters is back with a new episode titled "Going Large or Small in Tampa" for season 2017, episode 123. The show follows couples or families as they search for their dream home with the help of a real estate agent. In this episode, viewers will get to see the beautiful city of Tampa, Florida.
The beginning of the episode introduces us to the three main characters of the show. The first is a young couple, Ashley and Greg, who recently got married and are looking to start a family. They are currently living in a one-bedroom apartment and are planning to upgrade to a larger space. The second couple is Samantha and Michael, who have been married for five years and are looking for a smaller, more manageable home. The third couple is James and Karen, who have retired and are looking for a home to enjoy the rest of their lives together.
The first home that the young couple, Ashley and Greg, see is a stunning three-bedroom, three-bathroom home. The home is larger than what they had anticipated but has all the amenities they wanted, such as a pool in the backyard, a large kitchen, and a separate office space. The real estate agent guides them through the home, and the couple seems to love it. However, the catch is that the home is slightly over their budget and would require them to make some compromises. They discuss their options and decide to consider it as their first choice.
Samantha and Michael's first home is a cozy and well-maintained two-bedroom, two-bathroom home. The location of the house is ideal, and the home is within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. The couple is impressed by the modern kitchen and spacious living room. However, the master bedroom is a bit smaller than they had anticipated. They weigh in the pros and cons of the home before moving on to their next option.
James and Karen are shown a beautiful home that is located in a gated community. The home is spacious and has a stunning view of the nearby golf course. The house has a large kitchen with modern appliances, a formal dining room, and a beautifully landscaped backyard. However, the downside of the home is that it does not have a pool, which James and Karen had been hoping for.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to know more about the couples and their personalities. Ashley and Greg are both outgoing and love to entertain, hence, a large home would make sense for them. Samantha and Michael are both professionals working full-time, and hence they prefer a smaller space. James and Karen are looking for a home to retire in, and they will have plenty of time to enjoy each other's company, hence the need for space.
As the episode progresses, all three couples visit multiple different homes across Tampa, each with its own unique charm. They discuss the pros and cons of each home before making their final decision.
In the end, each couple decides on the home that best suits their needs and personality. Ashley and Greg choose to buy the larger home they were shown earlier, even though it was a bit over their budget. Samantha and Michael end up selecting the cozy two-bedroom home that they had first seen, as they were impressed with its maintained state. James and Karen finally choose the one in a gated community despite not having a pool, as it checked all the other boxes.
The show ends with all three couples moving into their new homes, excited about the new beginnings and possibilities that lay ahead.
Overall, "Going Large or Small in Tampa" is an engaging and enjoyable episode of House Hunters that takes the viewers on a tour of some gorgeous homes in the city. The three couples are easy to root for, and their varied personalities keep the show interesting. The show brings out the emotion and deep contemplation that goes into searching for a perfect home, and the viewer can connect with each couple and their respective situations.
