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

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.

  2. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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!

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

  15. 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

  16. las vagas nevada

  17. 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…

    dianne on March 16, 2008 at 2:02 am
  18. 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!!!!!!!!!!

  20. 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!!

  21. That was so fake it was pathetic. Please try too make it more realistic next time.
