Get Paid $1,000 to Binge Your Way Through House Hunters

If binge-watching House Hunters has always been your guilty pleasure, here’s your opportunity to transform it into a rewarding venture, with $1,000 on the line for your insights and dedication.

DIY Gear Reviews is conducting a study on home affordability, leveraging the HGTV show House Hunters as a data source. The study requires an individual to watch a season of House Hunters and record specific details such as the final purchase prices of homes, their locations, and the job titles of the buyers.

This information will be analyzed to assess the affordability of homes showcased in each episode. The goal is to determine if the home purchase prices seen on the show are realistic benchmarks for prospective home buyers planning their budgets.

The deadline to apply is February 17, 2024. The application can be found here. 

The Details 

The chosen applicant will need to watch Season 244 of House Hunters on FuboTV, which consists of 13 episodes. The task involves documenting the following information for each episode:

• City and State of the house search
• Names of the prospective home buyers
• Job titles of the home buyers
• Final purchase details, including:
  • Total purchase price
  • Number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage (when available)
• Financing details, if discussed, such as:
  • Down payment amount
  • Type of mortgage
• A brief summary (1-2 paragraphs) for each episode, covering:
  • The type of home sought (fixer-upper, architectural style, key features)
  • Additional insights into the buyers’ preferences or personal background (e.g., family size)

The entire assignment must be completed within three weeks from the start of the project.
