Ep 2. Upsize Needed

In this episode of House Hunters season 13, titled "Upsize Needed," we follow a family as they search for their next home. With two young children and a dog, the current space is simply too small for their growing family. They have a budget of $500,000 and are looking for a home with four bedrooms, a backyard, and a large living space for family gatherings.

The episode begins with the family meeting with their real estate agent to discuss their wishlist and budget. The agent shows them three houses in different neighborhoods, each with its own unique selling points.

The first home is located in a newer development on the outskirts of town. It boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an open concept living and dining area. The backyard is smaller than they hoped for, but they are pleased with the size of the bedrooms and overall space. The design is modern and the rooms are filled with natural light, which the family enjoys.

The second home is located in an older, more established neighborhood. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an additional living area for the kids to play in. The backyard is larger than the first home, but the living area is smaller. The family loves the charm of the older home and its unique features, like built-in bookcases and a vintage fireplace.

The third home is located in a gated community and is the largest of the three. It boasts five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a bonus room that could be used as an office or playroom. The backyard is spacious and perfect for the kids and dog to play in. The living areas are large and perfect for entertaining. However, the family is unsure if they need that many bedrooms and are hesitant about the additional costs of living in a gated community.

As they weigh the pros and cons of each home, the family grapples with the decision of which house to choose. They love the size and modern design of the first home, the charm and unique features of the second home, and the ample space and amenities of the third home.

However, after much discussion and consideration, the family ultimately decides on the third home in the gated community. The extra space and amenities make it the perfect fit for their growing family, and they are willing to pay a little extra for the added security and community features.

Overall, this episode of House Hunters season 13 offers a glimpse into the process of finding the perfect home for a growing family. With different neighborhoods, sizes, and styles of homes to choose from, there are many factors to consider when making such an important decision. Through it all, the family remains focused on finding the right balance of space, affordability, and community for their unique needs.
