House Hunters Season 2017 Episode 157 The Perfect Portland Starter

In the 157th episode of House Hunters, titled "The Perfect Portland Starter," viewers follow a young couple as they search for their first home in Portland, Oregon. The episode begins with the couple, Rachel and Alex, eagerly explaining their search criteria to the real estate agent. They want a home with an open floor plan, lots of natural light, and a yard for their dog. They also want to be in a neighborhood with good schools and easy access to outdoor activities.

The first house the couple looks at is a charming older bungalow in the heart of the city. It has lots of character, with original woodwork and stained glass windows, but it's also smaller than they were hoping for. The backyard is tiny, and the kitchen is outdated. Rachel and Alex weigh the pros and cons, but ultimately decide to keep looking.

The next house they visit is a modern condo in a newly developed area on the outskirts of town. The condo has everything they were looking for in terms of space and modern amenities, but it lacks the charm and character of the other homes they've seen. Plus, the monthly HOA fees are higher than they were expecting. Rachel and Alex decide to keep looking.

The third house they visit is a mid-century modern ranch in a neighborhood known for its good schools. The house has been beautifully updated, with an open floor plan and lots of natural light. The backyard is large and fenced in, perfect for their dog. However, the neighborhood is further from downtown than they were hoping for. They take some time to consider their options before making a decision.

The fourth and final house they look at is a newer construction in a trendy neighborhood close to downtown. The house is spacious and modern, with high ceilings and lots of windows. The backyard is small but well-landscaped, and there's even a rooftop deck with a view of the city. The only downside is that the house is at the top of their budget. They weigh the pros and cons before making a final decision.

In the end, Rachel and Alex choose the mid-century ranch in the neighborhood with good schools. They love the open floor plan and the backyard, and they feel like they're getting the most for their money. They're excited to start their new life in Portland and make the house their own.
