House Hunters Season 44 Episode 24 Amanda and Rich Want a Fresh Start in the Denver Suburbs
- August 28, 2011
Amanda and Rich are tired of the hustle and bustle of city life, so they're moving to the Denver suburbs to start fresh. However, with a budget of $500,000, they know they have to make some compromises to get what they want. Amanda is looking for a home with an open floor plan, updated features, and ample natural light. She also wants a large outdoor space with a backyard for their two dogs to play in. Rich, on the other hand, is focused on finding a home with a home office and a guest room for visiting family.
Their real estate agent, Sarah, shows them three homes that fit their criteria. The first home is a newly renovated ranch-style home with an open floor plan and plenty of natural light. It has a large backyard with a deck, but it's located on a busy street which could pose a problem for their dogs. The second home is a two-story traditional home with a home office and guest room. It also has a backyard with a deck, but it's located in an older neighborhood with smaller lots. The third home is a contemporary home with an updated kitchen and a large backyard for their dogs to play in. It also has a bonus space that can be used as a home office or guest room, but it's located in a neighborhood with an HOA that may limit their ability to make changes to the home.
Throughout the episode, Amanda and Rich weigh the pros and cons of each home and discuss their priorities. They agree that they want a home with a large outdoor space for their dogs and a home office for Rich, but they differ on other aspects. Amanda is willing to sacrifice some of the square footage for an open floor plan and plenty of natural light, while Rich is more focused on practical aspects like the guest room and home office.
As they tour each home, Amanda and Rich envision their lives in each space and discuss the potential for renovations and updates. They also consider the location of each home and the neighborhood amenities like parks and shops. They note the proximity to schools, transportation, and other aspects that will impact their daily lives.
In the end, Amanda and Rich make their decision based on their priorities and compromise on some aspects. They choose a home that has an open floor plan and ample natural light, a large backyard for their dogs to play in, and a bonus space that can be used as a home office or guest room. While the home is not perfect and will require some updates, they are excited to make it their own and start their new life in the Denver suburbs.
Overall, this episode of House Hunters showcases the challenges of finding a home that meets all of your needs within a budget. It also highlights the importance of compromise and prioritizing what's most important to you. With the help of their real estate agent, Amanda and Rich are able to find a home that fits their needs and sets them up for a fresh start in the Denver suburbs.
