for house hunters you have to have a realtor, you have to "narrowed down" on homes, and i am about 90% sure during my application process to be on the show you have to have financing already straightened out.

maybe that is a new thing

They just pick "3" to "choose from" for the show - probably the top 3 that most fits their criteria and budget. And I've also seen some where they have to walk away, they get turned down for financing, the buyer backs out, whatever. So, no, they can't have just closed on the home (unless their "rules" have changed in the last couple of months).

They use the same realtor. Who's to say they didn't look at 1,000 homes before the show starting filming? I've seen just one that didn't get a home.
