House Hunters Season 2017 Episode 144 Always Room for Improvement in Phoenix
- September 7, 2017
In the episode Always Room for Improvement in Phoenix, we follow a young couple as they search for their dream home in the bustling city of Phoenix, Arizona. The couple, who are both personal trainers, are looking for a home that can accommodate their active lifestyle and also give them room to grow as a family in the future.
First up, the couple tours a beautiful, modern home in the city’s downtown area. The home boasts sleek design and expansive city views, but its small size and lack of a yard give the couple pause. Next, they check out a spacious home with ample yard space and a pool. Although it’s farther from the city than they’d like, the backyard’s potential for a fitness studio seals the deal for the couple.
The third home they tour is a fixer-upper that needs a lot of TLC, but the couple can’t resist the opportunity to put their personal touch on it. The house has plenty of space for a workout room and even a custom sauna, but whether or not they’re up for the renovation challenge remains to be seen.
As they continue their search, the couple realizes that they value the ability to customize and personalize a home over move-in ready convenience. However, they also need enough space to run their personal training business from home. In the end, they narrow their choices down to two homes—a spacious single-story with a pool, and a fixer-upper with tons of potential.
Making the final decision proves to be harder than they thought, as both homes have their own unique advantages and disadvantages. However, with some careful consideration, the couple ultimately decides on a fixer-upper that they can transform into their perfect home.
Throughout the episode, we get a glimpse into the couple’s personalities and personal tastes, as well as their professional ambitions. We also get to see the ups and downs of the home-buying process and the difficult decisions that come with it. It’s a relatable journey for anyone who has ever searched for their dream home, or who is simply interested in real estate and home renovation.
