00:00The yard could be a little bit bigger.
00:02I think it could be smaller.
00:04Justin bought his first home in Pennsylvania on his own.
00:07Now that he's buying again as a married man, his wife Libby has her own agenda.
00:11I don't personally like this type of stuff.
00:14I love projects, but I don't like fixing things that aren't broken.
00:17This is broken.
00:17His plan is to buy low and renovate.
00:20We could make this straight, get rid of this protrusion, and make the closet a little bit bigger.
00:23I don't know.
00:24But Libby is happy to buy turnkey in a great location.
00:27You have the walkability to go downtown and get a drink, but then you can bring everybody back here and host in your backyard.
00:33No, I love that.
00:34That price point's hurting me a little bit.
00:35I know.
00:36Why would we waste the money to pull this all out of the hotel here?
00:39This is all brand new.
00:39We're already saving money.
00:40Have you ever heard of the phrase, just because it's on sale doesn't mean you have to buy it?
00:57Look at my Marco.
01:03Oh, you like mango?
01:05I'm Libby.
01:06I'm an account executive, and I sell software.
01:08I'm Justin.
01:09I'm a senior analyst in communications.
01:11We have one child, Marco.
01:13I absolutely love him, and I would just like to multiply him by three.
01:16Not the first three months, but everything else after that.
01:19Multiply them.
01:20I only want one other kid.
01:21You're a baby-making machine.
01:22I am not.
01:24We currently live in Bristol, Pennsylvania.
01:25I love that it's a small town.
01:27We get to walk everywhere, and it's a real tight-knit community.
01:30Oh, no.
01:32It's so good.
01:35My family and I come from a small town called Monte de Brazda, which is located in the suburbs of Italy.
01:41A lot of my family migrated here to America in the 70s and 80s.
01:45My parents actually met here in Philadelphia.
01:48They both came here from Portugal when they were young.
01:50Growing up, I was taught that family's everything.
01:52We could have nothing, but we can always have family.
01:55I'll put them down for a nap.
01:56If you just want to grab that paint, I'll meet you upstairs.
01:59Okay.
01:59Before I even came into the picture, Justin bought this duplex as an investment property.
02:04He started fixing up the place and rented the upstairs apartment.
02:07We decided that once we had baby Marco, we didn't want any more tenants living up there.
02:12I'll clean up up here.
02:13I know it's a little dusty.
02:14I know.
02:15Getting this back to normal.
02:17The last tenants ripped off the paint with their paintings and everything.
02:20The reason why we're not using the space upstairs is because it is really separated.
02:25There's a whole nother kitchen up there.
02:26It's a complete different living space.
02:28We would just much rather find a new home.
02:31The perfect price point is $5.50 or less.
02:33Are you crazy?
02:34With what we're looking for, we're going to find a dump.
02:36We're spending at least $6.50.
02:38I'm not crazy.
02:38I'm really realistic.
02:40We can renovate.
02:40We can really make it our own and build value in there.
02:43I don't want to do that, though.
02:44I don't want a constant product.
02:46I just want to live in a place where we can move in and not do anything to it.
02:49The market is super competitive.
02:51We actually found this one house that we absolutely loved.
02:54And as soon as we left, it was under contract.
02:56We didn't even get a chance to put an offer in, but we were going to.
02:59Yeah, which means we would probably have to spend more money to get the house that we both liked.
03:04If we get a house that we absolutely love and we spend a little bit more, we may just have to sell this.
03:09I bought this house as an investment property.
03:11I definitely do not want to sell it.
03:12I want to keep it as a rental.
03:14We'll see about that.
03:15Wherever we move to, I want to be in there for a very long time.
03:18It's really important that we have stability for our family.
03:21I agree.
03:21I don't want something too loud.
03:23I don't want to be on a main street.
03:24I really want to live in an area where I can walk downtown, kind of like what we have here in Bristol.
03:29There's a ton of surrounding areas here, like downtown Yardley and downtown Langhorne.
03:34Maybe a Victorian style household that we could make it more modern.
03:37I want it to look a little bit more Mediterranean.
03:40It would be amazing if there was tile throughout the house.
03:42The fake wood in the kitchen, it's not the vibe I'm going for.
03:46It's luxury vinyl plank.
03:47I think this is way better than tile.
03:49I think you're wrong.
03:50Whatever we get, we have to make sure we get a big kitchen.
03:53Our families are huge and we need an area to host.
03:57It's really important that we have a nice backyard.
03:59I just don't want it too big.
04:00I don't want to spend all my time maintaining a backyard.
04:03Yeah, well, that's what you hire landscapers for.
04:05Justin got to buy his first home all by himself.
04:08And now that we're both buying a house together, it's both of our decisions.
04:11This is a huge milestone and I want it to be my dream home.
04:15I don't really like compromising.
04:16Yep, you're setting your ways.
04:18Yes, I am.
04:24This is where we drop off the kayaks.
04:26Oh, cool.
04:28Up first is a home in Yardley, a lively, walkable borough 15 minutes north of their current home.
04:34I would love to live in this area because I can walk downtown, I can go to the restaurants,
04:38I can get my nails done.
04:40This house is $615,000, way over the price point that I was thinking about.
04:44But if you're in love with this area, you have to be okay with spending more.
04:48That's just what it is.
04:49The stone really gives off the Mediterranean vibe, really reminds me of Italy.
04:57Yeah.
04:57The landscaping looks nice.
04:59Yeah, it looks like I'm going to be spending a lot of time doing some yard work, ain't I?
05:01Good.
05:02I'll keep you busy.
05:04Hey, guys!
05:05Hey, Liz!
05:05So you guys know we're in Yardley Borough, so you know that this is going to be a hot
05:09area.
05:10It's not going to sell for $615,000.
05:12Are you guys prepared for that kind of battle?
05:14Well, you know my budget's at $550,000 right now.
05:16I know.
05:17I tried so hard to find something closer to that price point, but it's just not going to
05:21happen for this location.
05:22All right.
05:23This house is all about location.
05:25This is a very desirable part of town because of the walkability.
05:29They have the small-town feel out here.
05:30I know Libby is open to upping the price point.
05:33This is a market that none of us have really seen.
05:36I brought them here to show if this is the location that you want, this is the price you're
05:40going to have to pay.
05:41All right.
05:42I like the fireplace.
05:43You like the fireplace?
05:44And I like the wood, but I'm really not crazy about the color.
05:47You can refinish these.
05:48Or we can just retile them like I would love.
05:52I know you love your tile, but it just doesn't feel as warm as the wood.
05:56Who's here?
05:57Um, we're a little early for our showing.
05:59Are you guys showing it too?
06:00Um, yeah.
06:02We just got started.
06:03Yeah, we can go up.
06:04I'm sorry.
06:05No, that's okay.
06:05No, thanks.
06:06No problem.
06:07Thanks.
06:07This one's going to be competitive.
06:09I'm not surprised there's other people here, so just start thinking about if this is going
06:14to be worth it.
06:15Okay.
06:16All right.
06:16What do we think?
06:17Too small.
06:19I need a big kitchen.
06:20Okay.
06:20I love to have family over.
06:21I love to cook.
06:22Okay.
06:23So we would have to probably knock this wall down.
06:26I think it'd be a little bit more, too, because I'm not a big fan of these brown cabinets.
06:30You're looking at an easy $30,000 to $45,000.
06:34We're already at such a high price point.
06:36Is it worth spending all of that extra money to where it may prevent us from traveling to
06:41Italy and Portugal every year, doing things with Marco, going on family trips?
06:45I mean, I guess we could consider selling our current home because there's a lot of equity
06:49in it.
06:50On one hand, we could keep it as a rental, and then on another hand, we can sell it and
06:54get that equity up front.
06:56Right.
06:56You can decide between kind of keeping that passive income or getting that up front cash.
07:00Yeah.
07:01I guess it's something we're going to have to just consider.
07:03There are no deals to be found in this market.
07:05Buyers are having to make sacrifices that they never had to make before.
07:09So Libby and Justin are going to have to make some compromises.
07:12I love this.
07:14Maybe we can host a holiday.
07:16Yeah, I can really see us putting a long table here and having all our family in.
07:21Having a big old dinner or lunch here, all 56 of our cousins.
07:25Yes.
07:26All right, let's check out the outside.
07:29Yeah, this is amazing.
07:30I mean, look at this.
07:31And you have this in Yardley Borough?
07:33Yeah.
07:33So not only do you have the walkability to go downtown and get a drink, but then you
07:38can bring everybody back here and host in your backyard.
07:40No, I love that.
07:41That price point's hurting me a little bit.
07:43I know.
07:43It's what you have to pay for the location.
07:46But I love this backyard.
07:49I'm just worried about is it going to be a bidding war?
07:50I know.
07:50I mean, it is a very popular area.
07:53I wonder how serious those people are.
07:54What if they're all cash buyers?
07:57How bad do you want to live in Yardley Borough?
08:00Pretty bad.
08:01I mean, I really love the location.
08:02It's literally a seven-minute walk.
08:04I do think this is going to be one of those we're going to have to fight for.
08:07Wow.
08:08We have to decide pretty quickly if we're going to put an offer on this house.
08:12Now we have kind of an office flex space.
08:15This is kind of like a weirdly placed room.
08:18There are wood floors.
08:20These look original.
08:20So this would be your primary bedroom.
08:23I love the natural light.
08:26I thought this would be a great room for Marco because you're right by the primary.
08:32So there's two bedrooms down here and two bedrooms upstairs?
08:35Exactly.
08:35Yep.
08:35There's two full baths in the house.
08:37Your primary bath is right up across the hall.
08:40Let's take a look at that.
08:43Well, look at his tub.
08:44Oh my gosh.
08:45It is really nice.
08:46It's nice and updated.
08:47But we don't have our true shower.
08:49We have our clawfoot tub.
08:50Well, we can make it work.
08:51The quirks.
08:51The quirks of the house.
08:52Yeah.
08:53Yeah, always the quirks.
08:55Again, we got two bedrooms up here and a full bath.
08:58Okay.
08:59This is too small.
09:01Small.
09:01Yeah.
09:01It's not huge.
09:03It's a nice size room.
09:04This closet, we would have to do something about.
09:07We could make this straight, get rid of this protrusion, and make the closet a little bit bigger.
09:10I don't know.
09:12I mean, location is amazing, but we do have to spend money if we're going to live here because
09:17it's not everything I've ever dreamed of in a home financially.
09:21I'm more of a risk taker.
09:22One day, I was sleeping on a couch.
09:24I wake up.
09:24She's like, I bought kayaks.
09:25I'm like, oh, great.
09:26I like a sure bet.
09:27I'm a little bit on the safer side of things.
09:29Can we see something a little bit closer to my price point?
09:32Yeah, of course.
09:34So Liz delivers a more move-in ready and cheaper place.
09:37But as she warned them, they can't have everything.
09:40I feel like we're in the middle of nowhere.
09:49I feel like we're in the middle of nowhere.
09:51Like, where are you taking me?
09:52So it doesn't look too bad.
09:55No, it's the boom docks.
09:56There's no sidewalks.
09:57Today, Libby and Justin are seeing a move-in ready home priced at $499,000.
10:02But it's in Ben Salem as opposed to Yardley, and there's no downtown within walking distance.
10:08It's under my price point that I'm looking for, so that's definitely a huge plus.
10:12It's five bedrooms, but I think the house overall is small.
10:16It is on a main road.
10:18Oh.
10:18And look, there's a sign that says, watch children, probably for a reason.
10:24Hi, Liz.
10:24Hi, how are you?
10:26Good, how are you?
10:27Good, I know it's not exactly where you want it to be, but this is turnkey.
10:31I do think there won't be such a bidding war here.
10:34One just down the street.
10:36Sold recently, the buyers were able to snag it for asking price.
10:39It's on such a noisy road.
10:40It is a busier street, but it makes up for it inside.
10:43All right, what do we think so far?
10:47Big open space.
10:48First impressions, I love that.
10:49This is kind of your living, dining area.
10:53I'm trying to picture where the TV and the couch would go.
10:56I thought the TV could go over here.
10:58I feel like it'd be very awkward for guests to come in.
11:01That's true, yeah, to come in the front door.
11:03Yeah.
11:03Unless you have the couch on this side.
11:06Right, and then you have...
11:07Just get a 100-inch TV so you can see.
11:09Well, there you go.
11:10Yeah.
11:11You could put a chandelier or all that good stuff.
11:13Yeah, this is a good space.
11:14Yeah.
11:15We don't need it to be too big.
11:16Do you think this is big enough?
11:17Yeah, okay.
11:18And you know what?
11:19I do love the color scheme.
11:21You have the granite countertop.
11:22It has a little bit of color in it, so it breaks it up.
11:24It would be nicer, though, if we did remove everything and put tiles here.
11:28Yeah, but think about this.
11:29With the open concept, it would look even better.
11:31Yeah, but wait, time out, because think about this.
11:34Yeah, time out, because this house is already done.
11:36Why would we waste the money to pull this all out?
11:39We're already saving money, though, by buying this house.
11:42So if we put maybe $20,000 to put tiles everywhere, it would look so nice.
11:47Have you ever heard of the phrase, just because it's on sale doesn't mean you have to buy it?
11:52This is my first time buying a home, so for me, it's really important to make sure I get
11:56the things that I want in a home.
11:57He already bought a home without me, so he got to get what he wanted.
12:00Now it's my turn.
12:02I absolutely take that into consideration, but I don't think Libby's seeing the practicality.
12:06So there's five bedrooms, so you've got one down here and four upstairs.
12:10Okay.
12:11This is one of the two full bathrooms.
12:14Walking through, the house is a little bland so far.
12:17Well, it's a blank slate, ready to kind of put your spin on it.
12:20Yeah.
12:21Yeah.
12:23All right, so check out your backyard space.
12:27I am your garage.
12:29Yeah.
12:30Since the price point is so low, we could use our imaginations to make it a bigger space,
12:35maybe with a loft, because the house is feeling a little smaller.
12:38Yeah.
12:38Yard is usually in the back, like a backyard.
12:40This is like a side yard.
12:42Side situation.
12:43So I'm a little concerned for Marco and her future child.
12:47We would have to definitely fence it in, though.
12:49I just feel like it's so loud.
12:51I work from home, and across the street, there's an Italian restaurant.
12:54There's constant music playing.
12:56I guess it's called parking lot music, and it's Frank Sinatra on repeat.
13:00What's wrong with Frank Sinatra?
13:01There's nothing wrong with Frank Sinatra.
13:03I want to live on a quiet street.
13:04All right, so we've got our four bedrooms.
13:10That one would be your primary, and then these would be your secondary bedrooms.
13:17I was hoping that this bathroom was going to be a little bit bigger than the one downstairs.
13:21Yeah.
13:22What is this?
13:24Oh, linen closet.
13:25Closet.
13:26That's not even a real...
13:28You just have to add shelves.
13:29I can barely fit in it.
13:30Look at this.
13:30Hello, I'm the closet.
13:31Hello, I'm the closet.
13:33It is move-in ready.
13:35Yes, which is great.
13:36It definitely is.
13:36There's not going to be any headaches.
13:38I just want to move in.
13:39Great price point, but what about when we start to grow our family?
13:42Are you going to outgrow it?
13:44As I was growing up, I did move around a lot.
13:46I want more stability for my kids.
13:48Our next home, we envision being there for a very long time.
13:51I mean, the good thing is that this is not going to go as quickly as the other homes.
13:56It's not as competitive.
13:58So we can take our time.
13:59We have some time to think about it, which is nice for once.
14:02So now they're seeing another possibility.
14:04But it has its own set of trade-offs.
14:07That looks like a shed, maybe?
14:16A breakfast spot.
14:17That's always a good thing.
14:19Oh, cool.
14:20Libby and Justin are seeing a house listed for $525,000 in Langhorne, a borough with a vibrant downtown.
14:26I'm really looking forward to seeing this one because it's got that Victorian feel from the pictures.
14:32Yeah, but it's only three bedrooms.
14:35But, you know, it's a play on words.
14:37Sometimes it's three bedrooms with a bonus room.
14:39That's true.
14:40And there is a garage.
14:42It looks like a shed, maybe?
14:44Not a garage.
14:45Okay, we'll take a look at it.
14:52Hey, guys.
14:53Hi, how are you?
14:54Good.
14:54How are you?
14:55Good.
14:55Welcome, welcome.
14:57We have the walkability here.
14:58I like the fact that there's sidewalks.
15:00It's near the borough, but it's just on this main road.
15:02You do have the road, but I think you'll be really happy with what you see inside.
15:08Oh, cute.
15:09Do you like it?
15:09It looks great.
15:10Right?
15:11Yeah, it's really cozy.
15:14Yeah, it has a really...
15:14I can see, like, our family coming over, and they are really comfortable in here.
15:18Yeah.
15:19I mean, this looks super real.
15:21So these are LVP, but they look like wood.
15:23But that's the real wood, right?
15:25These are wood.
15:25Yeah, these are real hard wood.
15:27And then, Libby, I'm really excited for you to see the kitchen.
15:30Stop!
15:31Isn't it nice?
15:32I love it!
15:33This is literally my dream kitchen.
15:35No, yeah, it's really nice in here.
15:38This is incredible looking.
15:39Yeah, see?
15:40It really is.
15:41That's a drop-in stovetop, and you have the drop-in ovens to the side.
15:44I didn't know you were a professional oven...
15:46I used to sell appliances.
15:48Oh, okay.
15:49Actually.
15:49So you know what you're doing.
15:50Yeah.
15:51I love this.
15:51And then you've got your giant island.
15:53My mom and your mom always love to come over and help us cook.
15:56So this is your first full bath.
15:58I felt like it was a big enough space.
15:59Tile.
16:00It's got the subway tile.
16:02That's a timeless design.
16:03Really nice touches.
16:08This is your garage.
16:09Just have some vision.
16:12This looks like we're going to the barn.
16:13Feels like it needs a lot of work.
16:15Feels like more of a shed, to be honest.
16:17It goes really far back.
16:18You could definitely get the car in there.
16:21Yeah.
16:21The yard could be a little bit bigger.
16:23I think it could be bigger.
16:24I think it could be smaller, because I'm the one spending the time doing some landscaping.
16:29It's not fenced in.
16:30I know.
16:31So you would have to have the expense of a fence.
16:38You could tell these stairs are all original.
16:41Yes.
16:41So you've got a lot of original hardwood up there.
16:43We have to redo them, because they're, like, so small.
16:45Look, my foot doesn't fit on them.
16:46So this is your primary bathroom.
16:49I don't personally like, like, this type of stuff.
16:51Libby, this bathroom is fine.
16:53I love projects, but I don't like fixing things that aren't broken.
16:55This is broken.
16:57Now I want to show you the primary bedroom.
17:00It's a little bit small.
17:02It just feels, like, very, like, old.
17:04Is that door open for the other room?
17:05It is.
17:05So this is what you get some quirkiness with a Victorian.
17:09I could see markers from being in here if that's the primary,
17:12because if we need to, like, check on him, we can just go through.
17:15Walk through the primary closet.
17:17Let's check out.
17:17There is a bonus space upstairs.
17:21This could definitely be a usable space for you.
17:24I really love this space.
17:25It's listed at your desired price point,
17:27but I do think you're going to have to go higher.
17:29Again, it's the location in the borough.
17:31Yeah.
17:32I mean, we would have to at least add $100,000.
17:35Oh, you think so?
17:36And more, yeah.
17:37I mean, it already has that charm,
17:38but let's make it a little bit more Mediterranean.
17:39I guess I'll just write the check.
17:40There you go.
17:41There you go.
17:41I mean, I just had a baby not too long ago,
17:43and looking for a home on top of that is just very stressful.
17:46I have to make sure it's the right choice.
17:48I think we would really outgrow it pretty quickly,
17:50especially if we have more kids.
17:51She's not really seeing how we can creatively use this space.
17:56Now, since the market won't wait, it's go time.
17:59We have to make a decision soon.
18:08There's already two offers on the Yardley house.
18:12I knew that was going to happen.
18:13What do you think we should do?
18:15Justin and Livy have run out of time
18:17and have to decide whether to offer top dollar
18:19for a house in their ideal area
18:21or spend less farther out.
18:23I mean, I like the house.
18:25It's just so expensive, and it still needs work.
18:29Yeah, but the location is prime.
18:31I can walk to town.
18:32I can go get my hair done and get my nails done.
18:34I can go to the bar.
18:35I can do everything.
18:37Put a two-minute walk,
18:38and I'm not in the middle of nowhere.
18:39Liz said we were going to have to be really aggressive.
18:42Yeah, but we're paying for the area.
18:44We could host a lot of people there.
18:45It's spacious enough to be a long-term home.
18:47To even consider this home,
18:49we're going to have to consider selling our current home.
18:51We're no longer going to be able to keep that as a rental.
18:53We would need the capital up front.
18:56But I don't want to be on vacation
18:58with a tenant calling us about a light bulb anyways.
19:01What about the house in Ben Salon?
19:02It was fully renovated, which is nice.
19:04We don't have to do anything to it.
19:06It was all very generic.
19:07And honestly, that kitchen,
19:08I liked it because it was modern,
19:09but it was a little bit too small.
19:10Also, the yard, it wasn't like a backyard.
19:13It was more of a side yard,
19:14and it was right off to the street,
19:16so we would have to consider putting in a fence.
19:19Yeah, but the price point of that house was the best,
19:21so I think that would really give us the flexibility
19:23to add that fence and also build my dream garage.
19:26There's no sidewalks.
19:27What did you think about the Victorian house?
19:29It is walkable to town, which I really liked.
19:32I actually really liked that it had so much charm.
19:34Yeah, it's historic charm.
19:35It's not like Mediterranean charm.
19:37It has a beautiful kitchen, but it feels old.
19:40I feel like the rooms are a little bit too small,
19:42and we would probably outgrow the place really quickly.
19:46And honestly, this is such a tough decision.
19:58Marco, play with this.
20:00That's a great ornament.
20:01And then I thought the matching pillow
20:05with the ornament was really cute.
20:06That's really cool.
20:07Yeah.
20:08We bought the big fixer in Yardley.
20:10The house was listed at $615,
20:12and we had to come all the way up to $675.
20:14It was definitely over our price point,
20:16and we really didn't have any time to think about it
20:18because we knew this house was going to sell right away.
20:21What we ended up doing was selling our home
20:23that we were living in to make it more affordable.
20:26And that was a really big concession for us,
20:28but we loved it so much, and this is a bigger house.
20:31And it's the area where we really wanted to be in,
20:32and we could really see our family grow here.
20:35I feel like we need more color.
20:37What do you think?
20:38No, I absolutely agree.
20:39We decided to put our room upstairs right next to Marco.
20:42And we were able to make the primary bedroom the family room.
20:47When we first saw this house,
20:48we knew we needed to make some renovations
20:50to make it the way we wanted.
20:51In Marco's room, we decided to paint it blue,
20:54like his old room,
20:55and we decided to put luxury vinyl plank,
20:58which is very good because babies like to spill a lot of stuff.
21:01When we finally get to renovate our kitchen,
21:03I will be able to have tile in there.
21:05So we're going to go see Santa Claus and get pictures.
21:08Let me show you the outfit that I picked out for him.
21:11Yeah.
21:12Cute, right?
21:13That's going to be perfect.
21:15This is my first house officially,
21:17so it was really important to have a house together,
21:19especially now that we're married.
21:21Purchasing this home is so symbolic
21:22because it means growing our family.
21:25It means spending holidays together.
21:26It means so much.
21:27Hey.
21:28That's практиoso.
21:29It means that we'll be 23% of the house.
21:30,
21:31I look at 88% of the house.
21:32It means we weigh our children together,
21:34as they call the house with a house.
21:35And if we weigh our children in so long,
21:37we'll be back in the next habit.
21:39That's建ится
21:48on Gobierno H Jingle Park,
21:50and this is what I'm doing más good for you.
21:53We'll be 1989 and this one of the house here
21:56is a Red Bull County research.
