House Hunters

Sometimes good, sometimes not so much and sometimes its downright dumb.. I have lived in several cities in america and can say from experience, some of these prices are highly inflated.. and yeah we know "its a sellers market".. "its a hot market right now".. "be quick with your offer" etc etc blah blah yawny yawn yawn n please

I've been watching House Hunters for years. It's time to stop watching is because it's not realistic at all. Most of the time they're not shown what they want. Choices are given but it's far reached and the things that they're scripted to say is either dumb or not the way the average person talks when deciding on their home. The show should come across as real as possible and don't show the home that they're going to choose in the beginning. Sometimes I think that the home is already theirs and that they just remove everything and then put it back after the choices are made. We realize that it's tv and people can't say anything, but come on, sometimes they say the silliest things.

In general, is anyone else sick and tired of all these WHINEY rich kids whose Mommy and Daddy are obviously paying for the houses these spoiled brats are "buying" on this show?

My husband and I are both professionals raising two children, and BARELY getting by, while these snotty twenty-somethings are on the show "buying" houses that they cannot possibly afford. Does House Hunters have something against real, working families, or are these spoiled kids all part of the House Hunters extended family (producers, writers, executives etc):

In closing, please put some real people with real incomes on your show to at least give it a modicum of reality. Enough is enough of couples who are "musicians" or "artists" or "party planners" or other such nonsense.

Join the REAL world!!!

I agree with a lot of the other reviews. I love seeing all the different homes and places. But I can not stand the people. Complain about everything. I am not using that bathtub cause it has a gold faucet and so on. I am getting to where I turn it a lot. I cant handle all the negativity through the whole show. I understand there are things you may not like but these people just acting ungrateful!

Especially when you get to see the interiors of so many differently styled homes, some with breathtaking oceanfront views or distant mountains and valleys providing the terrace with eye candy.

What gets me is the insistence that no kitchen is complete or saleable without granite counter-top, that every home has to have at least three bathrooms, that a master bedroom is too small if it's anything less than 14' x 18', and that any room featuring wallpaper is an absolute no no.

Interesting too, to see couples (interracial, hetero or gay) viewing the properties together, some couples looking about as ill-matched as you could possibly imagine but obviously each couple totally committed to living together indefinitely in homes that range from 200,000 to 1.5 million of U.S. dollars, and often basing their decisions on how big the yard is for their beloved dog or how safe the yard is to accommodate kids and pets when it lacks a proper fence.

Even more fascinating is House Hunters International which shows the vast difference in standards between European and American real estate markets, along with some gorgeous scenery in exotic settings which compensates (sometimes) for a certain lack of craftsmanship in utilities.
