LegalParrot81 July 19, 2015 Share July 19, 2015 I cannot believe they could not not find something larger, or at least with 2 full bathrooms. Given the market in Denver and their budget, I'm not surprised with what they finally got. Median home price in Denver is currently around $320,000 for a single family and the market is very tight. And I agree with others, the voice made my head hurt. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3252-house-hunters-buying-in-the-usa/page/30/#findComment-1338980

PRgal July 21, 2015 Share July 21, 2015 (edited) Sadly, it ruined the house they bought. The sea foam kitchen island was hideous. She needs to learn how to use accessories in her color so she doesn't screw up the larger, well-decorated space. I have no idea how so many of the people on this show, the younger ones especially, can afford these expensive houses. We live in a fairly expensive area, and have a nice house, but we saved for years and managed our money closely in order to do it. I could not imagine being 25 or 30 and owning a house even over $200,000. My first house, when I was 31, was $69k! I lived in a cheap place in the Midwest then. When was that? You have to factor in inflation AND the average house price of your municipality. In Toronto, a single family home averages about $1M Canadian (roughly $770K US as of today's exchange rate). My parents purchased a single family home in what was, in 1980, a new development for around $220-250K. They were in their early 30s at that time, with a baby (moi) and my mom's parents to support. That home in today's money would be about $650K Canadian. However, because housing prices are SOARING in Toronto, houses in that neighbourhood are nearly twice the inflation. House was 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath with an unfinished basement. After the basement was fixed, it became a six bedroom, 3.5 bath (which, of course, brings up the price, but it STILL shouldn't be $1.2 M or so in today's money). ETA: I think some people who buy these huge homes are either in A LOT of debt or have help from family for their down payment. My parents, on the other hand, had ZERO HELP. Just a lot of savings.

They want what they want, and by God, they're going to have it - even if it is unnecessary or even if it is more trouble than it's worth.

He kept making remarks to her that she should realize meant he was not ready to commit to that yet. I think my favorite one was when she complained about one bathroom not having enough counter space for her stuff when she came over and he told her she could take it back home with her when she left. Personally, I would have left her out of the house hunting process. Izabella, I agree with you about the family room furniture placement.

My ears have been oh,wowed to death! The directors/crew spend 30 hours per episode - surely they could take a few minutes to re-film a scene and ask these expression-challenged people to come up with something else. Nice! Very impressive! This is great! Beautiful view! Unique! all leap to my mind, but apparently to no one else's. And another thing (I'm on a roll!)....a property does not have a "downfall" which generally means falling from public favor into disgrace. The word is "downside", meaning something that isn't so attractive about a situation or place....as in small rooms, no tub in the bathroom, being on a busy street.

chessiegal July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 I posted about the NPR interview in the Pet Peeve thread. It was on Terry Gross's "Fresh Air" this week. One of the guests said vocal fry has been around for many, many years, and basically debunked it all started with the "K's". I forget which female Hollywood star from the 40's she said did it. She also said men do it too. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3252-house-hunters-buying-in-the-usa/page/30/#findComment-1358966
DownTheShore July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 I would guess Katherine Hepburn. Her voice had that quality to it. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3252-house-hunters-buying-in-the-usa/page/30/#findComment-1359947
Kiddvideo July 27, 2015 Share July 27, 2015 I can't find an Island Hunters thread, and I'm sorry if this should go in a different place. They're now showing people looking for short-term, one-time vacation spots instead of places to buy or rent. The couple tonight was, ostensibly, looking for a private island in Georgia for a 7-night stay. These people had complaints you'd hear if they were buying the place (8' ceilings, bathroom not on the loft level, too many stairs) rather than spending a week. HGTV should put the show on hold if they've run out of islands or people to buy them. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3252-house-hunters-buying-in-the-usa/page/30/#findComment-1360646

Some of the previous episodes in the marathon with people buying were new to me, if not new. Didn't check the guide. ETA: The 10:30 pm episode tonight is new and has someone buying.

biakbiak July 27, 2015 Share July 27, 2015 I can't find an Island Hunters thread, and I'm sorry if this should go in a different place. There is a generic house hunting show thread in Genres or the HGTV thread in Networks.
