    I liked the aunt who was the realtor in the single mother wants Victorian Atlanta episode.  The HH's wonderful memories of a wood burning fireplace never included buying the wood, bringing it inside, starting the fire and keeping it going with almost constant attention, and then cleaning out the fireplace after every fire.  I bet daddy did all of those things.  I've had both a wood burning only fireplace, and now have one that will burn wood, but has a gas starter, and gas logs.  Yes, you lose some of the wood smoke smell, the crackling fire, etc, but I'll take a gas log fireplace any day now that I'm older.  Her dad and aunt also offered some good advice on a garage for safety as well as protection from the weather. 

    The Iowa couple  - just here to say I liked Spencer much more than Kyle.  The kitchen in the one they bought is miniscule.  I do hope the one that cooks (Spencer) gets ALL of his desires when they remodel, because he got short changed on his overall wishes for a house.  I did agree with Kyle about the shared driveway.  I probably wouldn't have set foot in that house if I had been the potential buyer because of that feature.  Their dog was adorable. 

    Thought the Atlanta HH was overly picky and she wants a house for entertaining with a new baby and being a single mom too.  She also needs how to correctly pronounce the word "decor".  Did like her Dad and Aunt.

    I liked the MInnesota twin brothers.  One is a dentist and the other is a CPA, so they can certainly take care of each other.  😊

    Probably in the minority here, but the twin that was the home buyer had a really grating voice and was obsessed with his ability to garden.  Hate to be the person he is seeing.

    That's still cheap compared to here (L.A.), one of the cities from which you've seen people move to your area.  Phoenix, like most places, is more expensive to live in than it used to be, but "one of the most EXPENSIVE places in the U.S. to live" it is not (if we're going with top ten, fifteen, or twenty lists from reputable sources) -- but it is more expensive, on the national ranking, than I'd realized, so thanks for sending me down a research path that taught me something new.

    Don't think that Phoenix beats Carmel, Ca or Pebble Beach for expensive homes.  Typical small 2 to 3 bedroom in downtown Carmel goes for in the low 3,000,000 and up while next door Pebble Beach commands an eight figure number.

    Yep. Turns out Brian’s a happy wife/happy life guy. Or his stated preferences (me, me, me) and budget were bs. Big house, big backyard, big price tag — enjoy, Hilary!

    PA/NJ shore. House #1 was nice and updated and then there'd be some distressed wood that stuck out to me, not in a good way. #2 seemed like a good choice for her. Brian was even willing to give up the shore for it. But Hilary still thought it was too small. You're not going to get a ton of room in a Cape, her preferred style. #3 had the beautiful backyard and no furniture. Will that be their choice?

    Brian really reminded me of Jon Stewart.

  5. Buckhead area of Georgia buyer must have been looking in the outlying fringe areas of Buckhead.  Those prices that she was looking at aren't normal for Buckhead proper, which is a very high end area of Atlanta.  Think it an outskirt area that shares a Buckhead zip code.

  6. The Reverend Mr. Forte's bad back equals cancer really reminds me  of Jimmy Valvano in his courageous fight with cancer that started with pain in his back.  Usually a sign of cancer that has metastasized.

    It was not overt flattery. He (the banker dude) is at first 'hesitant" to let Oscar in the room (yeah right!) and then after Oscar states what he "knows" of this transaction - the banker dude then comments to Oscar -- Oh you are SO well informed! to which Maude batts her eyelashes and simpers -- Oh I told him everything! I hope you don't mind?

    It was like scamming 101

    I think that it's Oscar that's doing the scamming.  Think that he is going after George since he knows that George is involved with the Cleveland railroad deal.

    And yet the asking price was 1 million. Sounds pretty upscale to me. It's no wonder home ownership is out of reach for so many. 

    The home they chose set them back 1.5 million. I have no idea what logistics is, but this couple, both immigrants, is living the American dream. Good for them!

    Proximity to Washington is everything.  Short commute times drive up the prices big time.

    I was taken aback when I heard that. My son's family lives in Springfield. It's a lovely middle-class, family oriented suburb. But not upscale (close to upscale like Tyson's and McLean). And that house was way too close to a very busy street! 

     

    Totally agree.

  10. Found it interesting that the young husband  Savannah buyer didn't want to buy in the suburbs but bought on the Isle of Hope which definitely is a outer suburb of Savannah.  That place is going to take a lot of work.

    But he said the salmon run in it, so maybe it was low when they were buying the house?

    I loved it.  It was almost like a backyard water feature, and it looked like it might make a pleasant noise going over the rocks.

    Salmon tend to go upstream in shallow water - 18 inches.

    I assume they are working at Mayo in Rochester, too.  I also figured they’d want to be closer to the hospital, so the country home seemed like an odd option.  It was also an odd house!

     

     

    Couldn't believe when her father asked if they are going to rip out the hardwood floors and replace them with tile or carpet?  Why would they even consider that.

    Yes. As a Long Island girl somewhat familiar with Westchester County, I'm interested in knowing which towns they've visited. The same goes for Long Island, where they tend not to mention town names. They did mention the NJ town where the 1st home was located, so I'm wondering if it's an issue of privacy for certain homeowners, who may not want the viewers to know in which town the house they chose was located.

    Was that mentioned? I rewound twice but never heard that. 

    It showed up in the graphics.
