Yeah that's the House Hunters trope. It's in the US too on HGTV.

Lisa is a 25 year old retired yoga instructor and Drew is a 28 year old brick layer who does crack in the alley behind his apartment. They are looking to upgrade into a home in the suburbs because Lisa is expecting any day now! Their budget is 3.5 million. Can they find a home?

oh no, they have a bunch of requirements and accidentally spent double their budget on the house but are still just fine somehow

Every single episode of those shows features a couple that has already purchased a house, and they pretend to give them two other choices to "pick" between.

Especially noticeable when they find a fake option that's a better fit for their wants/needs than the one they actually chose and the same price or cheaper.
