House Hunters International sets sail for Germany this week, landing in the shipbuilding port of Papenburg for its latest episode. Airing Tuesday at 10:00 PM ET on HGTV, A Tight Fit for Four in Papenburg, Germany tags along with a family of four looking to relocate for a new job—though their vision for a dream home quickly reveals a transatlantic divide.
Dad’s ideal scenario: a sleek, modern space with a quick commute. Mom, on the other hand, leans more traditional, prioritizing room for their two kids over minimalist aesthetics. As they tour three potential properties, the classic House Hunters tension—budget versus wish list, practicality versus curb appeal—gets an international twist.
The episode gives viewers a good look at the German real estate landscape—and its pricing quirks—while also getting into the cultural differences that can make house hunting in a foreign country a high-wire act. Will this family manage to thread the needle and find a space that checks both boxes? That, of course, is the evergreen question that keeps the House Hunters franchise chugging along.
