A Couple Who've Been Renting Enter the Market in Plymouth, Minnesota is the 11th episode of season 31 of the popular home buying show, House Hunters. Featuring a young couple who have been renting for a while, the episode follows them as they navigate the tricky process of finding and buying their first home in the Twin Cities suburbs.
The couple, Kyle and Megan, are both in their early 30s and have been living in a rented apartment in Plymouth for the past few years. Tired of paying high rent prices and not being able to put down roots, they've decided to take the plunge and start looking for a permanent home in the area.
As the episode begins, Kyle and Megan sit down with their real estate agent to discuss what they're looking for in a home. They're hoping to find a three-bedroom house with a large backyard for their two dogs, and they've set their budget at around $350,000. They're also looking for a home that's move-in ready, as neither of them are particularly handy when it comes to home repairs or renovations.
With their wish list in hand, the couple begins their search by touring a variety of homes in the Plymouth area. They start off by looking at a spacious two-story home with a large backyard and plenty of room for their dogs to run around. While the house has some nice features, like a finished basement and a large master bedroom, Kyle and Megan are turned off by its dated kitchen and lack of natural light.
Their next stop is a cozy split-level home that's been recently updated with new flooring and appliances. While the house isn't as spacious as the first one they looked at, Kyle and Megan love the fact that it has a big backyard with a privacy fence and a deck for grilling and entertaining. They also appreciate the fact that the home is move-in ready, with no major repairs or renovations needed.
As the episode progresses, Kyle and Megan continue to tour a number of homes in the area. Some are too small, some are too dated, and others are simply out of their price range. They even check out a few fixer-uppers, but quickly realize that they're not ready for the time and expense that comes with home renovations.
Ultimately, the couple finds the perfect home in a quiet neighborhood just a few miles from their current apartment. The house has three bedrooms, a spacious backyard, and a recently updated kitchen and bathrooms. It's move-in ready and within their budget, making it the perfect choice for Kyle and Megan's first home.
As the episode ends, Kyle and Megan excitedly sign the paperwork on their new home and begin planning their move. They're thrilled to finally be homeowners and to have a place they can truly call their own. With their house hunting journey over, the couple looks forward to settling down in their new home and starting the next chapter of their lives together.
