House Hunters Season 208 Episode 10 House Before Baby in Seattle

House Hunters season 208 episode 10, titled "House Before Baby in Seattle," follows a couple as they search for their dream home before starting a family in the bustling city of Seattle, Washington.

The episode begins with the couple, John and Sarah, discussing their wants and needs for their future home. John, a software engineer, and Sarah, a marketing manager, currently live in a small apartment and have decided that they are ready for more space. They hope to find a home with at least three bedrooms, a spacious kitchen, and yard space for their future children to play.

Their budget is set at $700,000, which can be a challenge in Seattle's competitive housing market. The couple begins their search in the trendy neighborhood of Capitol Hill, where homes are known for their historic charm and unique character. They tour a 1920s bungalow with original hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace, but the small living and dining areas make it clear that this isn't the home for them.

Next, John and Sarah explore the neighborhood of Queen Anne, a family-friendly area with stunning views of the city skyline. As they tour a classic Craftsman-style home, they fall in love with the spacious open-concept living area and modern kitchen. However, the lack of a backyard and the steep price tag make them think twice.

Their search takes them to the north Seattle neighborhood of Greenwood, where they tour a newer construction home with plenty of bedrooms and a large yard. Sarah is thrilled to see that the home has a nursery already set up, but John is hesitant about the modern design and lack of character in the home.

After touring several more homes in different neighborhoods, the couple finally lands on a charming brick tudor in the neighborhood of Wallingford. With its spacious living area, updated kitchen, and large backyard, it seems to tick all of their boxes. However, the competitive market forces them to make a quick decision, and they soon find themselves in a bidding war with another buyer.

In the end, John and Sarah's offer is accepted, and they move into their dream home just in time to start their next chapter as a family.

"House Before Baby in Seattle" showcases the challenges of house hunting in a competitive market and the importance of finding a home that meets both practical and emotional needs. The episode also highlights the unique character and charm of Seattle's various neighborhoods, from historic bungalows to modern construction homes.
