If binge-watching House Hunters is your guilty pleasure, here’s a chance to turn it into a profitable endeavor. DIY Gear Reviews is seeking participants for a study on home affordability, using HGTV’s House Hunters as a primary source. Participants will be compensated $1,000 for their thorough observations and insights.
The study will use data from the show to analyze home affordability. Participants need to watch a season of House Hunters, documenting details such as the final purchase prices of homes, their locations, and the buyers’ job titles. This information will help determine whether the home prices displayed on the show offer realistic benchmarks for prospective home buyers.
Applications must be submitted by February 17, 2024, and the application form is available [here].
Details of the Task:
The selected candidate will watch Season 244 of House Hunters on FuboTV, which includes 13 episodes. The documentation will require:
- City and State where the house search occurs
- 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 (if available)
- Financing details (if mentioned), such as:
- Down payment amount
- Type of mortgage
- A brief summary (1-2 paragraphs) for each episode, covering:
- The type of home sought (e.g., fixer-upper, architectural style, key features)
- Additional insights into the buyers’ preferences or personal backgrounds (e.g., family size)
The assignment must be completed within three weeks from the start date.
Compensation:
The participant will receive $1,000 upon project completion and an additional $75 to cover the cost of a FuboTV subscription.
Eligibility Criteria:
Applicants must be U.S. residents aged 18 or older. They need to use their own device capable of streaming, such as a smartphone or computer, to watch the episodes.

Application Deadline:
Applications are due by February 17, 2025. Selected applicants will be notified via email by February 22, 2025.
Earning Potential:
Depending on your efficiency, here is a breakdown of your potential hourly rate:
- If you spend 30 minutes watching and 30 minutes documenting: $76.92 per hour
- If you spend 30 minutes watching and 15 minutes documenting: $102.56 per hour
