HGTV Channel’s popular real estate show “House Hunters” hit close to home when a local couple was featured during their home search.The story of how Liz  and Jared Trout found their dream home aired Friday.

“It was a really cool experience to document the house hunting,” Trout said. Part of the fun was having family and friends involved in the filming, which included scenes shot at her parents’ (Ed & Karen Deeny) home in Souderton, she said. The episode title is “New Jersey Transplants Look for a Home in Pennsylvania, writes Bob Keeler in The Lansdale Reporter.

The search included 20 to 30 possible homes in Bucks and Montgomery counties, as well as the Lehigh Valley, before she and Jared made their choice, she said.

“We were having a hard time finding a house,” she said. “The market was very hot, and still is.” Filming for the show took place last fall and was done over five days, she said.

The house hunters don’t see the show beforehand, so they had to see it for the first time when it aired, she said.
