HGTV Dream Home

Did you catch the clue in last night's House Hunters?

Posted by fcole – March 7, 2008 9:51 AM

Good morning and happy Friday!

I see many of you watched last night and got the special clue we placed in House Hunters. But if you missed it, and haven't checked the comments from the previous post, the clue was "West of the Mississippi."

That's still a lot of the country to cover, but you can narrow it down a little more from the first clue. Remember, I said that the next HGTV Dream Home will not be in any state we've built before. So if you've checked the list of previous HGTV Dream Homes, you'll know that this means we won't be going to Colorado, Texas, Oregon or Wyoming.

Be sure to check back here later today for another clue to the location of HGTV Dream Home 2009. And watch the HGTV Dream Home 2008 special on Sunday, March 16, at 9pm ET/6pm PT, when we announce the winner of the gorgeous home in the Florida Keys on live television! Remember, we'll also be giving away a trip for two to Islamorada to a lucky home viewer during the special.

I am sticking with Arizona. The video clip showed a mountain area without snow. I am thinking Sedona, Flagstaff, Prescott. Actually the trees/shrubs look a bit like Prescott. But Tuscon also has green areas and Mt. Lemmon. Hmmmm, can't wait til the next clue.

Posted by Beth – March 7, 2008 10:25 AM

I still believe the 2009 dream home wil be in Utah. All the clues fit and the footage of the mountain bikers lok like the area.

Posted by Anne W – March 7, 2008 10:26 AM

Ok, we amend (narrow?) our other guesses. We think it will be in the Carson Valley of Nevada. Maybe Minden/Gardnerville...

Posted by Brian – March 7, 2008 10:31 AM

Or maybe Pinenut Mtn. ???

Posted by Brian – March 7, 2008 10:37 AM

for sure its Branson, Mo. now seeing its west of the Mississippi River. Beautiful country and mts. music I'll be watching.

Posted by Elaine Manners – March 7, 2008 11:01 AM

I told all of you two weeks ago...it's Globe, Arizona. Sorry to spoil the fun!

Posted by Juneau – March 7, 2008 11:06 AM

I think is going to be in Arizona

Posted by Barbara – March 7, 2008 11:08 AM

Okay, I don't feel I am much farther ahead! Most of us were guessing Utah or Arizona, and Washington State. I think if Mountain Zone is a true clue it leads me back to just Utah and Arizona as my top choices. Although Patsy gave a fine argument for Bellingham, Washington. I think that area is gorgeous. Maybe I'll move there! LOL!!! I would really like another clue helping to eliminate more states, the house hunter show didn't do that for me. Oh by the way, I bet Jack's video was shot last summer, so as not to reveal climate areas. Just a thought.

Posted by Mary – March 7, 2008 11:21 AM

I really wanted to win this home...... does anybody think it might be in Louisiana?????

Posted by jody – March 7, 2008 11:21 AM

I'm still sticking with Park City, UT area.

Posted by Jennifer A. in WI – March 7, 2008 11:29 AM

I THOUGHT I SAW A GLIMPSE OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

Posted by viv kelley – March 7, 2008 11:33 AM

maybey on the coast of california!!!!

Posted by fishyboy – March 7, 2008 11:36 AM

I didn't get the clue either Nancy. I just went back and checked my tape of the show,I couldn't find it. The only think I did notice was a distortion of the video, towards the beginning, when they were talking about Dean being on the show 2 years ago. If something flashed on the screen, my TV/cable did not pick it up! Anyway, is that when the clue was given?

Posted by Mary – March 7, 2008 11:45 AM

And "West of the Mississippi" was a juicy clue? I thought the clue was suppose to narrow it down. The clues seem to be doing the opposite and becoming more broader.

Posted by Sandy – March 7, 2008 11:45 AM

My guess is Donnally, Idaho....

Posted by blake – March 7, 2008 12:04 PM

I go with my first guess Lake Tahoe NV

Posted by anonymous – March 7, 2008 12:20 PM

i still say Vegas

Posted by CJ – March 7, 2008 12:37 PM

okay, so we already knew it was west of the Mississippi when you gave us the clue about it being in one of the Mountain Pacific Time Zones.

Posted by Christina Wall – March 7, 2008 12:41 PM

I'm still going with St. Louis. It is west of the mississippi. It has mountains as well. I don't know how often it snows on those mountains, but I imagine that some time they do not have snow and might fit the video clip.

Posted by Christie – March 7, 2008 12:45 PM

ARIZONA!

Posted by Sam – March 7, 2008 12:45 PM

I have to believe that this will be an amazing home and I am thinking it will probably be in Utah also!

Posted by Randi Ketchum – March 7, 2008 12:50 PM

The next Dream House will be either New Mexico,
or California.

Posted by lorraine – March 7, 2008 12:51 PM

I think it's going to be in Washington. From the scrabble board clue. It had apple, rain, boat... Maybe Seattle area!

Posted by Em – March 7, 2008 12:57 PM

i still think somewhere in California

Posted by moirgan – March 7, 2008 1:00 PM

It's great to start thinking about 2009 DH, but I hope I will not have to try and win it. I want to be at the 2008 DH in the Keys. I pray I see the dream team on March 16th.
Good Luck every one!

WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI

Posted by luisa – March 7, 2008 1:22 PM

I STILL SAY ITS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

Posted by deb – March 7, 2008 1:30 PM

WEST POINT MISSISSIPPI

Posted by LUISA – March 7, 2008 1:30 PM

I am thinking Kentucky.

Posted by CJ – March 7, 2008 1:30 PM

I BELIEIVE IT IS NEAR THE OCEAN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. ANYWHERE FROM LA TO SAN DIEGO, PALM SPRINGS IS NOT FAR FROM THE OCEAN. SO PERHAPS IT IS PALM SPRINGS, CA.

Posted by DEB – March 7, 2008 1:33 PM

A total guess how about, Sandpoint, ID?

Posted by Mike – March 7, 2008 2:03 PM

I thing Hot Springs, Arkansas. A resort area with some mountains, alot of lakes, horse racing and alot of great shopping. Lake Hamilton is the best.

Posted by Carolyn Trussell – March 7, 2008 2:06 PM

I think the 2009 Dream Home will be located around or near Paso Robles area of California.
So many of the words in the clues are around or near that area. You have nearby mountains, sea, cove, sand, dive, casino, lake, zebras, falls, agriculture in apples, tomatoes, sunflowers, wool, beef, cane and all the rest just seem to fit in. I can't wait to find out.

Posted by A. H. – March 7, 2008 2:14 PM

WASHINGTON STATE

Posted by dixiegirl – March 7, 2008 2:31 PM

On House Hunters, they focussed in really close and for a long time on one of the Savannah park signs......Washington Square. My vote is Washington. They haven't built there yet. The video clip with Jack T. showed a mountain area with trees. And the last Scrabble board showed rain, apple and falls ..... all in Washington state.

Posted by stagemom – March 7, 2008 2:33 PM

Could it be the state of Washington? Last night on House Hunters there was a sign that said
"Washington Square" and the scrabble board has
the words sun, rain and apple. We all know there are Washington delicious apples....

Posted by JAN – March 7, 2008 2:43 PM

Hello!! There was a globe in the foyer...Globe, Arizonz or close by...me thinks anyway...hee hee

Posted by Susan – March 7, 2008 3:03 PM

This was a GREAT episode, and the clue, well I kept on thinking EVERY other word they said was a clue! LOL, but now I am even more confused, I guess I will stick with my 2 options, #1 KS, and #2 AZ... No matter what though, I am sure it will be a DREAM! Aren't they all! - Although the 2008 is (sigh) well let's just say they keep on out doing themselves, just when you think it can't get any better, they prove it can!

Posted by Janelle – March 7, 2008 3:06 PM

The people were looking in Savannah, Georgia... is that it?

Posted by Tyler – March 7, 2008 3:13 PM

I have watched House Hunters for a while and they don't usually focus on a specific area like they did last night. They usually talk about general parts of a city but last night they seemed to focus on a sign on the 2nd home shown which was Washington Square. The 1st home was Forsythe Park and there was no mention of a specific area on the 3rd. I am really leaning towards Washington for my guess.It is not in mountain time zone but that may not be a valid clue either. There are too many other clues that point in that direction. Looking forward to more clues!

Posted by Sandra G – March 7, 2008 3:16 PM

There are 22 states west of the Mississippi of all those states there are only 12 that have MST

1 Utah--- UTC-7 MST Mountain Standard Time (I AM Sticking with UTAH)

2Wyoming--- UTC-7 MST Mountain Standard Time --- eliminated already has dream home built there

3 Kansas only these counties in Kansas are MST (Hamilton, Sherman and Wallace Greeley, counties: UTC-7 MST Mountain Standard Time)

4 Nebraska --- Nebraska Panhandle, counties with Colorado as a western boundary, and the western Sandhills: UTC-7 MST Mountain Standard Time

5 Oregon------ Most of state: UTC-8 PST Pacific Standard Time (including southern 1/5 of Malheur County)--- Remainder of Malheur County: UTC-7 MST Mountain Standard Time----(eliminated already has dream home built there)

6 Montana--- UTC-7 MST Mountain Standard Time

7 South Dakota--- Eastern half of state: UTC-6 CST Central Standard Time---- Western half of state: UTC-7 MST Mountain Standard Time

8 Nevada-- Most of State: UTC-8 PST Pacific Standard Time except -- Jackpot and West Wendover: UTC-7 MST Mountain Standard Time

9 Idaho-- part in: UTC-8 PST Pacific Standard Time (north of the Salmon River, that is between the Oregon state border and the Idaho County/Lemhi County border; west of the Idaho County/Lemhi County border, that is between the Salmon River and the Montana state border)---except Remainder of state: UTC-7 MST Mountain Standard Time (A legislative error in 1966 seems to have moved this area to UTC-6 CST. 15 U.S.C. ch.6, ยง 264. MST is observed.)

10 Arizona--- UTC-7 MST without DST Mountain Standard Time

11 Colorado--- eliminated already has dream home built there

12 Texas--- eliminated already has dream home built there

Posted by Lynda – March 7, 2008 3:24 PM

I think it will be in Arkansas

Posted by Riliey – March 7, 2008 3:25 PM

New Orleans Lousianna

Posted by Jacquee – March 7, 2008 3:26 PM

I believe that the next Home to be built in 2008 will be built in San Antonio, Texas. It is a mountain zone state, and in 1854 the Casino Club was established by the well to do members of the local social group of cattlemen. The state also has casino gambling on the 3 Indian reservations that is legal.
Sugar cane is there most abundant crop processed for export. Close behind is Sunflower seed production.
There are large Silver deposits being mined. Continuing down the list there were some clues I that were helpfull as well I will leave them out
I am probably way off beam but I stick with my deduction.

Posted by James Neagle – March 7, 2008 3:30 PM

The 5th clue is West of Mississippi. So it will be the State of Mississippi. All we have is to find out which town that will be shown on TV next year. DANG!!! I was hoping for Oklahoma.

Posted by Portia – March 7, 2008 3:37 PM

Ok, I missed the "west of the Mississippi" clue altogether! Wow, I keep being clueless. I went for the "Washington Park" sign that got zoomed in on. So, since Washington State is west of the big Missisip, then I'm still going with that.

Can't wait for the next clue.
Patty from Virginia

Posted by Patty – March 7, 2008 3:47 PM

I thought it would be a more substantial clue, we already thought it would be in the west.

Posted by ILDhomes – March 7, 2008 3:56 PM

It's Lake Tahoe!!

Posted by Erin – March 7, 2008 4:14 PM

The only clue I got was how the house hunting man was from Los Angeles, CA...... So is it CA? Lake Tahoe maybe?

Posted by Kina – March 7, 2008 4:41 PM

I still think Globe Arizona.

Posted by Mark – March 7, 2008 4:42 PM

Am I the only one who saw the big sign with the word "Washington" [Square] in the middle of the show when they were talking about the parks his house might be near???

Posted by stagemom – March 7, 2008 5:26 PM

LYNDA: Thanks for your good work. Very helpful.
I've also been guessing UTAH for some time now. About that sign "Washington Park"....Maybe if we focused on Park, instead of a state....hmmm. One clever blogger has already guessed Park City, Utah, at least I think I recall that. Well, got to go look at another board game. Peace and pleasant dreams.

Posted by Katydid – March 7, 2008 5:31 PM

Ok those of you who didn't see the clue it was in the lower right corner about 1/2 way through the 10 pm house hunters. In the form of a Light yellow or beige colored pop-up, labled hgtv...... clue: "west of the Mississippi" I missed it watching during it's airing because I was listening, and doing some laundry the first time but until I rewound & watched it again, all the way through did I see & notice the very quick pop up clue.

Posted by Carrie Miracle – March 7, 2008 6:07 PM

I'm not sure if I lost the blog before but the clue was in the 10pm house hunters episode about 1/2 through. It was a quick light colored popup in the lower right corner entitled hgtvs.... clue and it said "west of the Mississippi

Posted by Carrie Miracle – March 7, 2008 6:16 PM

the clue was plain as day in the bottom right corner of your screen, its funny how some of us read so much more into a tv show.

Posted by Denise – March 7, 2008 6:25 PM

I will say RINO NEVADA close to the casinos.

Posted by sigfredo ruiz – March 7, 2008 6:50 PM

WELL I KNOW IT WONT BE KANSAS IF THERE WERE MOUNTAINS

Posted by JUDITH ANDERSON – March 7, 2008 7:22 PM

i'm still thinging califronia, but in ythe videos where it showed trees, not saying thats not in califronia, so my next guess is... (Let me think)
Still Califronia, AZ, NM, and Texas, thats about almost all west states of Mississippa, (Boarder).
my guessing is most likly to be right...then again, maybe not. \\\|/// Hope this dream home gives every one a HUGE suprise!!

Posted by candy – March 7, 2008 7:44 PM

It's California!

Posted by BA – March 7, 2008 8:19 PM

I still think is in California

Posted by rosa – March 7, 2008 9:14 PM

Dream Home 2009 - Sunnyvale, California - Home of Sun, Mountains, Coast, and... Washington Park!

Posted by Jim – March 7, 2008 10:50 PM

I am hoping it is in Mississippi, down in the south near Biloxi or Gulfport we have lost a lot of homes it would be a welcome addition.

Posted by Laura – March 7, 2008 11:27 PM

I believe it is Yakima, Washington.

Posted by RG – March 8, 2008 12:27 AM

Oops! Atlantic City isn't West of the Mississipi. Nevermind.

Posted by Chris – March 8, 2008 8:34 AM

Could it be Santa Fe, New Mexico?

Posted by Anonymous – March 8, 2008 10:02 AM

Must be west of the Mississippi

Must be in mountain time zone

Can't be where Dream Home was built before

Near Casinos, near a lake.....

I think Silver Lake, Nevada, near Reno

Posted by michael – March 8, 2008 12:18 PM

I'm thinking California... or Nevada

Posted by Anonymous – March 8, 2008 3:26 PM

With the Monopoly clue of Pacific, I figure it's either Washington or California. I didn't see the mountain biking clip but both states have lots of mountain bikers. The globe had California in a gold color, so it's probably California. Pacific Beach, Washington would be nice but pretty remote for most folks. California would likely draw more interest. So I guess California.

Posted by Carol – March 8, 2008 4:28 PM

It is Kansas!!!!

Posted by Holly – March 8, 2008 4:57 PM

I think it is going to be on a lake, just because in the monopoly game it shows ERIE which is a lake, I don't know, just another idea to think about. :)

Posted by Natasha – March 8, 2008 6:19 PM

People keep listing states that have houses that have already been listed, and that are not in the MST zone. Therefore, to save my brain I am going to use Lynda's clues. She did quite a bit of work and elimination to come up with the states that are viable. Now we just have to follow the rest of the clues and go from there.

Thanks, Lynda, and good work.

Posted by Sara J – March 9, 2008 12:16 AM

I say Hilton Head So. Carolina

Posted by Karen Tallent – March 9, 2008 9:56 AM

it's defintly california

Posted by Nicki Graham – March 9, 2008 12:16 PM

I am hoping maybe N.carolina? But What would really be a dream come true would be Santa Cruz Calif.

Posted by Teresa – March 9, 2008 1:03 PM

I am thinking Arizona. But there is a possibility of S Carolina.

Posted by teresa h – March 9, 2008 1:06 PM

I still say it is not (knot) in the mountain zone time states... Eliminate these MT, ID, UT, AZ, NM, CO, WY: However these states. ND, SD, NE, KS, all have small areas with MTZ... So they may still be in the choices. Don't forget that the states that already contain a dream home is out of the choices. OR, WY, CO, TX, FL, GA, SC, NC, MD, ME. are out.
And all states East of the Mississippi River eliminated. So that just leaves a handful to choose from.

Posted by Carrie Miracle – March 9, 2008 4:09 PM

I'm still thinking it's Arizona! I hope I win-after the 15 in. of snow we just dug out of in Cincinnati! Urg!

Posted by Kim – March 9, 2008 6:57 PM

New York Penthouse! Park ave or Broadway! Either sounds great!

Posted by Patricia – March 9, 2008 8:54 PM

Looks like WA state

Posted by Beth – March 9, 2008 10:30 PM

Hawaii!!! Lifeboat, dive, sand, cove, cane, falls, windy, breeze (think tropical) dancing, love, sun, rain, music, palm, sea, fun, knot (like tie the knot) and aloha were all words on the scrabble board. It's also west of the mississippi....I think MST was not a valid clue. Just my 2 cents...

Posted by Robyn – March 10, 2008 1:07 AM

The county building in Salt Lake City, Utah is located in WASHINGTON SQUARE-----

Posted by debi jones – March 10, 2008 3:27 AM

The video looks like and the clues sound like WASHINGTON!!! I saw lots of pine trees in the video, and a couple of the words on the scrabble board were "rain" and "apple". Somewhere near the forests and mountains...That would be lovely.

Posted by Colorado Dreamin' – March 10, 2008 4:07 PM

I believe the 2009 Dream Home will be in Alabama from the clue give in House Hunters. The clue that I caught was Moblie Bay. Which is an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico, lying within the state of Alabama.

Posted by Sarah – March 10, 2008 5:17 PM

I think I know.......... vega nevada.

Posted by angie – March 10, 2008 8:09 PM

Its CA,and the clue was west of the Mississippi(river).I guess I know becouse I i have seen the next clue.

Posted by jenna – March 10, 2008 9:15 PM

i think its in St. Louis Missouri. Reason why is theres a picture in the dining area on the scrabble board it as some clues and one word spells out arch

Posted by adam – March 11, 2008 9:06 AM

BEAUTIFUL SUNNY CALIFORNIA!

Posted by Brandi Wright – March 11, 2008 1:19 PM

Monterey bay, California

Posted by bean – March 12, 2008 2:51 AM

anywhere it's built you know it will be beautiful. all the houses have been a dream. but for me i so want the log cabin in tenn. my sister lives in tenn and miss her so much. it would be great to live down there.

Posted by kathleen gollis – March 12, 2008 10:10 AM

OK....it is Los Angeles...
What would you ask the winner? Where are you going to go now? I'm going to Disneyland....
It is west of the Mississippi....
Monopoly clue - Boardwalk is upfront in the picture....as in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, CA..
City of Lights - Los Angeles has been known as that for years....

Posted by Jennifer Werther – March 12, 2008 11:05 AM

I think it is Nevada,it really would not matter to me, I would Love to win a Dream home anywhere!! I rent a apartment & it would be a Blessing to have a place to call home. I just went through the pictures of the Dream home in the Keys, I was not aware of that sweepstakes & I would have settled for the Canine Cabana out in back of the Dream Home for the Pooch of the Palace What a Gift to be given. HGTV sure know's how to Light up a persons life. Thank You.GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!

Posted by Michelle Grappin – March 12, 2008 1:05 PM

HAS THE WINNER BEEN PICKED AND SUN WILL JUST SHOW WHO IT IS ?

Posted by Anonymous – March 12, 2008 2:22 PM

I am guessing it will be Branson Missouri. It is the most wonderful place to vacation, beautiful scenery, and of course, Country Western at its best!!

Posted by Carol (in WI) – March 12, 2008 2:50 PM

It has to be Utah.

Posted by Beth – March 12, 2008 3:56 PM

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Posted by Sherrie – March 12, 2008 5:24 PM

I think it is Juneau, Alaska or Phoenix, Arizona. Two opposites, obviously. One as far north and one south but both West of the great Mississippi River. Yahooooo!

Posted by BOG – March 12, 2008 6:51 PM

Hawaii

Posted by Cecile – March 12, 2008 7:08 PM

We sure could use a winner in New Jersey, someone like me!!!

Posted by Joseph King – March 12, 2008 7:09 PM

I think it's San Francisco, California. Look at all the clues again and see if you don't agree!!

Posted by Karen – March 12, 2008 7:11 PM

San Francisco?

Posted by LDG – March 12, 2008 7:13 PM

iam thinking VAGAS,tell me am right, ok

Posted by jasmin – March 12, 2008 7:35 PM

I think it is in San Francisco.

Posted by Roberta – March 12, 2008 7:35 PM

San Fransico Bay

Posted by Patti – March 12, 2008 8:47 PM

Sedona, arizona, one ofthe beautiful places in this world.

Posted by leo ehli – March 12, 2008 9:35 PM

I know it is diamond head in Hawaii

Posted by patricia wadman – March 12, 2008 9:55 PM

I'm guessing two places. San Francisco Bay or Hawaii..

Posted by Brenda Jones – March 12, 2008 10:55 PM

I've read most of the posts since the first clue and I am going to guess, Moutain Cove, Missouri. Because of the earlier clues I was leaning toward Missouri, then the extra die was on the "O" on the Monopoly board which then was a "MO" which is the abbreviation for Missouri. That's my guess. Lois

Posted by Lois Davis – March 12, 2008 10:56 PM

Im going to say that the 2009 dream homw eill be in arkansas.

Posted by Remose – March 13, 2008 12:05 AM

Nevada!!!!!!!

Posted by Phyllis – March 13, 2008 12:15 AM

I think it's in Northern California -- somewhere like Oakland.

Posted by Rosalind Owens – March 13, 2008 12:22 AM

That was supposed to read: Mountain Cove, MO Sorry for the typo. Lois

Posted by Lois – March 13, 2008 12:28 AM

Just popped into my head: along the Truckee River in West Reno, NV

Posted by Victor R. Tulbure – March 13, 2008 1:05 AM

Las Vegas would be my best guess, so far. By the way, Portia, the state of Mississippi is east of the Mississippi River, not west.

Posted by Gina – March 13, 2008 1:06 AM

I think it is going to be in Tennessee. That is where the next one is going to be built. Lin

Posted by Linda Markle – March 13, 2008 1:47 AM

I say Hawaii, there was alot of sea shells in the dream home

Posted by paula – March 13, 2008 3:07 AM

Hawaii or Cape Cod, Massachusetts would both be good for a "green Home". Any place HGTV builds the 2009 home will be perfect.

Posted by Ron – March 13, 2008 6:58 AM

Hilton Head SC

Posted by Anonymous – March 13, 2008 7:54 AM

I think it must be Los Angeles, the city of lights

Posted by Betty – March 13, 2008 8:17 AM

I think it's Washington State because of the back drop scenery.

Posted by Bob – March 13, 2008 9:48 AM

I think we there should be a dream home built in Alaska!!!

Posted by Brittany Dixson – March 13, 2008 10:09 AM

Definitely it should be Washington state--maybe even the beautiful area around Enumclaw

Posted by Jean – March 13, 2008 11:45 AM

Natchitoches, LA is west of the Mississippi and called the city of lights

Posted by nell – March 13, 2008 12:45 PM

I think it will be built in San Francisco Bay, CA. As they have biking and did you see the big BAY sign in the new home.

Posted by Mary – March 13, 2008 12:58 PM

The city of lights, can't be Pairs, but Paris is in LAS VEGAS, NEVADA gotta be there, with plenty of land and great viess

Posted by sue h – March 13, 2008 2:01 PM

If you pay very close attention to the scrabble clues you find all the qualities of either Kansas or New Mexico! My bet is it will be Kansas! Isn't there someplace in KS with a popular arch...the Rosedale Memorial Arch...or the Stone Arch Bridge...I think I am going to narrow it to 4! NM, AZ, KS, or AR!

Posted by N. Rutherford – March 13, 2008 2:09 PM

Posted by NANCY – March 13, 2008 2:54 PM

I believe the 2009 house will be built in Santa Cruz California. I have found all the clues so far to relate to this area.

Posted by marcene – March 13, 2008 3:31 PM

The city of lights is in Nevada, Las Vegas.

Posted by connie – March 13, 2008 5:59 PM

El Sequonda, California

Posted by Karen – March 13, 2008 6:16 PM

I think possibly the lake in Seattle Washington that has all the houseboats.

Posted by Rick Woodward – March 13, 2008 6:53 PM

How about. . . Bay Center in Pacific County of Willapa Bay?

I haven't seen most of the clues, but from what I do know, there are a lot of people who didn't pay any attention to their geography. And Texas in Mountain time??? Central - I grew up there! Arizona or Washington would be my guess, either would be fantastic!

The next dream home is on the Sunflower Reservoir, in Northern Nevada

Posted by Steve – March 13, 2008 8:25 PM

Nevada folks thats my guess.

Posted by Althea – March 13, 2008 8:37 PM

I still think it is fabulous Las Vegas!

Posted by Heather – March 13, 2008 9:24 PM

I DO BELIEVE WITH OUT SEEING ANY CLUES. ONLY SEEING THE HEADLINE OF CITY OF LIGHTS IS SURELY LAS VEGAS, NV.

Posted by LYNN – March 13, 2008 9:29 PM

I think maybe you are all thinking too obvious. Maybe CA but for some reason I am thinking Oregon! Maybe Hawaii. Back to origional thought... Coos Bay, Cape Arago... Not sure why but I came across it. Just a thought... Not that it matters much since I won't be allowed to win a dream home until a couple years from now.

Posted by Caitie – March 13, 2008 10:11 PM

I think it will be on Bainbridge Island off Pugent Sound just a ferry ride from Seattle
Washington.Its beautiful there.I could sure ajust to that lifestyle.My sister lives there. The scenery is awesome and she says the sunsets will make you say GOD DID GOOD!!!!

Posted by Connie Chambers – March 13, 2008 10:55 PM

San Francisco Bay area for sure!!!!

Posted by cat – March 13, 2008 11:18 PM

LAS VEGAS BABY!!!

Posted by bri – March 13, 2008 11:22 PM

I think NOLA would be great. OR, Shasta California. OR, Hawaii. Has anyone said Hawaii or Alaska yet? I think Alaska is a good place as well. Now that the tundra is gone for good in many places (so sad) I heard that there is a construction boom. Anyone know more about that?

Posted by Joele – March 13, 2008 11:24 PM

Hmmmm...City of Lights >>>>Monopoly on clues????Is it possible ???Atlantic City, New Jersey????....

Posted by Dorothy – March 14, 2008 12:38 AM

How about Virginia City, Nevada...in the mountains, Silver Mine (COMSTOCK Mine), casino, not too far from San Fransico Bay?

I THINH IT SHOULD BE RENO NEV.

Posted by DIANE – March 14, 2008 7:15 AM

I have a brother that lives in San Diego and one in Tucson, so either would be great so I can visit ;-). As for me, I plan on being in one of those recliners out by the bay in the Keys working on my tan, very close to where I was born and raised (Miami) LOL
Now, I just hope my sense of humor doesn't jinx my chances.

Posted by Lindsey – March 14, 2008 8:16 AM

Seattle, Wash given the clues to date.

Posted by LTB – March 14, 2008 8:42 AM

How are winners notified? By phone only or by both phone and email?

Posted by Bruno Yomoah – March 14, 2008 10:51 AM

Hi everybody,
My husband and I spent our honeymoon at the Cal-Neva in Lake Tahoe years ago. There was actually a line that ran through the Hotel. One side was California and there was no gambling and the other side was Nevada with gambling. The line went through the pool marked as stated. I think that line would represent Mountain and Pacific times. So my guess is somewhere along this line and/or Lake Tahoe. This so intriguing!

I know where Dream House 2009 will be built - the Mt. Erie area of Anacortes, Washington. Those were great clues!

Posted by Deanne Overvold – March 14, 2008 11:52 AM

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA -- LOS ANGELES KNOWN AS CITY OF LIGHTS-OR- MONTEREY BAY --SAN FRANCISCO BAY--

Posted by nina – March 14, 2008 12:22 PM

Posted by GARYJSOKOL – March 14, 2008 1:37 PM

I think the location will be Half Moon Bay, California. on the pacific ocean, a short drive from San Fran.

Posted by Arlene – March 14, 2008 2:55 PM

I Think where every it will be, I'm ready to go.
I've always wanted to live near water and mountains with a view. And set on a porch and
look on to God's great hands of beautiful work
before me.
Thanks to all of you

las vagas nevada

I'm more interested at this time in the winner for the Keys home. I was hoping to win, but then I heard the property taxes are more than $70,000 per year....I certainly can't afford that, could anyone else?? What a disappointment...i'm surprised that HGTV wouldn't put the 'dream homes' where people can better afford them... Good luck...its coming up real fast...

Posted by dianne – March 16, 2008 2:02 AM

I am thinking that this Dream House is going to be in Nevada...and I am so excited about the drawing tonight!!! P.S. I am the winner!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Kylie – March 16, 2008 7:34 AM

I beleive it looks like somwhere in California , at this ponit in my life it doesnt matter where it will be, Im ready to move in.
Best of luck to all on the winner of the 2008 Dream Home.

I watched with baited breath to see who the winner was going to be. What a disappointment!!!!! The winner did not seem excited AT ALL. What was up with her????? And I also wonder how the camera crew was able to just walk into her OPEN door without knocking? And how convenient...all of her closest friends and family were coincidentally there for a party??? Come on HGTV. You can do much better!!

Posted by Cheryl – March 17, 2008 12:24 AM

I think it is in Orgian
