House Hunters Season 36 Episode 3 Minimizing in Marietta

In season 36, episode 3 of House Hunters, titled "Minimizing in Marietta," we meet a couple looking to downsize their home in Marietta, Georgia. The couple, Kim and Fred, are empty nesters who have decided to move to a smaller home with less maintenance required. They are hoping to find a move-in ready house with a price point of around $350,000.

The episode begins with Kim and Fred meeting their real estate agent, Jennifer, to discuss their list of must-haves for their new home. Along with the obvious desire for a smaller space, they are also hoping to find a one-story home with an updated kitchen and a backyard for their dog. They are also looking to stay within a 10-mile radius of their current home to maintain their proximity to family and friends.

Jennifer presents the couple with three options to tour. The first home is a bit larger than they were hoping for, but it has undergone some major renovations and fits all of their must-haves. The only downside is that it is located slightly outside of their desired location.

The second home is smaller and fits perfectly into their desired price range, but it requires a bit of work in terms of updating the kitchen and replacing some outdated flooring. However, the location of this home is ideal for the couple.

The third home is recently updated and fits their desired location, but it lacks a backyard for their dog. The couple is torn between this option and the first home they visited, which is a bit further from their desired location but has more space for their dog.

As they visit each home, Kim and Fred discuss their pros and cons with Jennifer and weigh their options. It becomes clear that they have different priorities in terms of location and size of the home.

Ultimately, the couple decides on a home that was not initially on their list of options. The home is in their desired location and has recently undergone some renovations, but it is smaller than they were originally hoping for. However, they feel confident that they can make the space work for them and are excited to start the downsizing process.

Overall, this episode of House Hunters provides a glimpse into the struggles of downsizing and finding a home that meets all of one's must-haves. Kim and Fred face some difficult decisions but ultimately find a home that they are excited to call their own.
