House Hunters International

8 minutes of content in 22 minutes. It is a shame. Show is enjoyable yet annoying due to the fact that they repeat everything at least three times. Pure laziness in putting together the show.

I love seeing the different countries and the new cultures the people on the show integrate into but a lot of these people are embarrassing with the way they act when they look at some of these homes. I know you want to get what you pay for but it's like some of these people didn't do any research before moving. They are so picky and I'm not talking normal pickiness it's extremely obnoxious. Where do they find these people because they are quite picky. Some of the kids with these adults are brats and should've been giving a talking to about sharing rooms. One couple were bragging about volunteering in an orphanage in Nicaragua but when it came to living modestly they weren't having it. These people are clueless.

Have always watched House Hunters and international. We are living a show ourselves. We have just brought property in Mexico. We are waiting for our condo to be finished and we will be retiring there. We are working on selling our house here. The process of buying in Mexico is very interesting.

We have an attorney helping us through and a great bunch of friends. Our real estate agent there is a gem and they have made things as smooth as possible for us. What a wonderful opportunity. I hope to maybe teach when we get totally moved. My husband wants to play golf. We both are ready to start our new life.

House Hunters International is a fascinating show that takes you to the far corners of the world. Recently we saw residential properties (buy and/or rent) in Australia, Mexico, Caribbean, Central America, Spain, Iceland, etc.

You get a chance to see these far flung places and also get a peek at the real estate market. The maps and the videos are very informative.

Unfortunately the show has a formula that grows old over time. In addition, all the real estate agents have an annoying habit of never listening to the prospective buyers/renters, but this probably makes for a better show. In reality, these agents wouldn't last very long.

The 2 or 3 month follow-up is always positive, which suggests some heavy editing. Did no one ever go wrong?

Putting aside the problems with the format, the show is definitely worth viewing for anyone interested in how the rest of the world looks.

Just watched an episode in Series 145 of a couple searching for a house in Melbourne and the prices being quoted are just patently wrong even in US dollars. One apartment they looked at for $380k would be at least $800k even when they filmed this. Unless it was shot in 1985.
