Back in October 2025, HGTV announced that both House Hunters and the spinoff House Hunters International would air “nearly 400 fresh half-hour episodes through 2026.” The news came after the network canceled several home renovation series, including Bargain Block, Married to Real Estate, Izzy Does It, Farmhouse Fixer, Battle on the Beach, Christina on the Coast, and The Flipping El Moussas.

Dunker is one of three people who have narrated House Hunters over the years. The late Suzanne Whang narrated the series from its premiere in 1999 through 2007. Colette Whitaker briefly took over the role in 2008 before Dunker joined the show as its permanent host the following year. (Whang died at the age of 56 in September 2019.)

Dunker opened up about her role as the show’s unseen host in a2017 interview with BuzzFeed News, sharing, “Part of my job is to be in the background. I’m not really with you, but I am leading you through this journey as a narrator. That’s kind of how I see it. If I were to come out more as a personality of my own, then it kind of breaks it. I’m not sure it would work as well.”

Dunker went on to note how her narration has “changed” over time. “If people look at House Hunters International from the first season I was on it, it’s a lot more dramatic, and now it’s become more conversational,” she explained. “And that’s just an evolution of the show, I think. It’s been on for so long it evolves with the style of the time.”

She also acknowledged how her voice on the show has brought comfort to people for nearly two decades. “As an actor, especially as a commercial actor, it’s hard sometimes to justify your job as being very meaningful,” she told the outlet. “My dad is this world-class scientist. He’s doing very important work. A lot of times, if I’m just doing a commercial for a fast-food chain or something, I’ve wondered in the past what I’m contributing to society. But with House Hunters, people seem to like it so much and it makes them happy and makes them soothed or go to sleep or whatever. That feels good. It feels like it’s useful.”
