A new budget-friendly house-hunting series called WORLD’S BARGAIN DREAM HOMES will make its way to HGTV this spring!
“HGTV’s newest house hunting series will inspire adventurous buyers to dream big and buy low,” a press release from the network announced. “Authentic, entertaining and humorous episodes will follow people brave enough to purchase the world’s most affordable properties that also happen to be stunning, turnkey and in desirable locations around the globe, many of which offer incredible cost-saving incentives.”
In each episode, house hunters will be paired up with a local real estate agent in their dream location, including Panama, Costa Rica, Italy, Spain, France and Greece.
WORLD’S BARGAIN DREAM HOMES is part of HGTV’s slate of 2026 new shows, including PROPERTY BROTHERS: UNDER PRESSURE, BOTCHED HOMES and NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH.

“With this programming order, HGTV is delivering more of our tried-and-true formats that drive consistent ratings for the network, while also featuring new talent and concepts to engage our devoted fans and attract different audiences,” Howard Lee, Chief Creative Officer at Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a statement last year.
PROPERTY BROTHERS stars Drew and Jonathan Scott spoke to PEOPLE about UNDER PRESSURE, which follows them as they help buyers find new homes.
“Whether it’s the first couple that lost their home in the LA Fires, or generational families that are moving in together so they can afford to get a house — everybody’s got a different story,” Jonathan said, adding that they “intentionally cast lower budgets and more relatable stories” for the show.
He continued, “You’ll see there’s also this real docu-style, kind of behind-the-scenes…We don’t turn the camera off, so you get to see a lot of the stuff that normally would happen after we stopped rolling.”
Drew added that the show dives into “any situation you think of in today’s housing market.”
“Every scenario you can think of,” he continued. “And the emotions are there. The frustrations — even Jonathan and me arguing. So you get a lot of everything.”
In addition to these new shows, HGTV will also continue to air new seasons of the popular HOUSE HUNTERS and HOUSE HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL.
“Attracting over 13 million primetime viewers each month, the series will offer fans their signature fun and interactive viewing experience when they peek inside three different homes, check out the layout and furnishings, evaluate them and pick which one they think will work best for the new homeowner,” a press release reads.
WORLD’S BARGAIN DREAM HOMES premieres on HGTV on April 14 and will hit HBO Max and Discovery+ the following day.
