THREE HOUSES DIVIDED

摘要

Kara and David Oliver, an attractive young couple with a toddler son, want to move from Hoboken, N.J., to a more suburban part of the state, and their budget is around $300,000. They find a cute brick house, listed at $299,000, with a small backyard that's near a local park. The Olivers are ready to bid. "We need a house to start feeling like a family," says David, who appears on HGTV's Beat the House, yet another series about middle-class couples playing real estate roulette. In this one, two competing brokers try to woo the Olivers and other couples like them away from a reasonable house on which they've already decided to put an offer.
