Watching HGTV House Hunters

[Anonymous]

and they are in Arlington this episode.

Featured: A young couple, 20s, no kids and a dog.

They are searching in Arlington. Wish list includes large, upgraded kitchen with granite and new stainless appliances, large back yard, 4 bedrooms, 3 updated bathrooms, finished basement with high ceilings, sun porch, 15 minutes from DC, etc.

Max budget, $650,000

Wife is willing to compromise on wish list, husband is not.

I am very curious to see how this one goes

I heard that this show is totally set up - usually the couple has already bought a house and then they retrofit the story to fit it.

That said, I do love it. Did you see the one a week or so ago in Reston?

Much smarter choice.

Their wish list and their reality did not make sense for Arlington.

This guy's obsession with multiple TVs is weird, and will be brought into relief for his wife once they have kids.

True. An agent friend was in one episode.

I thought this couple was really mismatched looks-wise. /shallow

Yep, the guy needed a personality transplant and was well on his way to obesity. Had the obligatory House Hunter fuzzy "consultant" job.

He sets up 4 TVs to watch football on Sunday - for 11 hours. LOL!

Did they look at a smallish bungalow style house in Arlington? A friend's house was taking forever to sell and she mentioned on Facebook a few months back that it was supposed to be on House Hunters. The price was around $650,000. The house finally did sell, but not them I guess!

Yes, they did look at one that sounds like that. That house had the weirdest setup in the attic which was meant to be the 'master suite'. Bizarre.

I made this exact same comment to my husband last night.

I knew they'd pick the Fall Church house. Any idea which high school that was next to house #3?

I watched one last week with a couple in San Diego. The guys big criteria was a nice bathtub because he was a write and did most of his work in the tub. it was really odd.
