It doesn't surprise me much that House Hunters is not real. If we had to choose one of the houses we visited last night, I think I would have cried. We ended up seeing 4 properties (2 we requested were sold, pending inspection).
The first, which online we had loved, was a disappointment at best. The main floor was okay. The three bedrooms were on the small side. The downstairs, which was billed as a family room, was disgusting. It was pretty much an unfinished basement with potentially asbestos flooring. The one bright side of this property was the very large fenced in backyard.
The 2nd place we saw was much better. The upstairs was lovely. The fixes/updates they had done were nice and it was very clean. And then we went downstairs. The 3rd bedroom was tiny. Like I'm not even sure a twin bed would fit in it comfortably. On the positives, it had a decent backyard, nice landscaping in the front, and a hot tub. Another negative besides the tiny third bedroom was it location near a semi busy road.
The third place we saw made us laugh. It was like stepping into a time warp. It was built in 1962 and nothing had been changed since then (including the furnace, air conditioner, and all major appliances). It's one positive was it had a good layout. If it wouldn't have needed to be completely gutted, it might have been a good pick.
The final place we saw was okay. The house was built around the same time as the third house. It was a little dated, but clean and well taken care of. The yard was very over grown and would need a lot of work before the boys could play in it. There was a lot of traffic noise from the extremely busy street nearby.
So we're going out on Friday to see some more places. Hopefully we'll have better luck then.
