House Hunters International

House Hunters International follows Americans and other expatriates as they search for a place to live in destinations around the world. With guidance from local real estate agents, buyers and renters tour three different properties, weighing tradeoffs in price, location, space, and style. Along the way, they navigate unfamiliar housing markets, cultural expectations, and must-have features that may look very different outside the United States.

House Hunters International takes the familiar home-search format overseas, tracking individuals, couples, and families as they relocate for work, love, adventure, or a fresh start. In each episode, a local real estate agent introduces three potential homes that fit the client’s budget and priorities as closely as possible. Viewers see a range of architectural styles, from compact city flats and historic walk-ups to countryside cottages and modern condos. As the tours unfold, the house hunters debate what matters most: commuting distance, outdoor space, neighborhood vibe, renovation needs, storage, and the realities of square footage in a new market. The series also highlights the practical quirks of renting or buying abroad, including different layouts, local amenities, and everyday lifestyle adjustments. After comparing options and making compromises, the clients choose the property that best matches their new life overseas.
