2009 HGTV Dream Home Sweepstakes Now Accepting Entries!

The 2009 HGTV Dream Home Sweepstakes is scheduled to open today at 9 am EST. The grand prize is a gorgeous house in the Sonoma Valley of California, designed to be the ideal place to host parties for your nearest and dearest.

The grand prize includes the Dream Home built for the HGTV Dream Home Special, which will air tonight at 9 PM Eastern, 8 PM central (be sure to watch to see the house for yourself). The house comes with $200,000 worth of gorgeous furniture and accessories, a 2009 GMC Arcadia vehicle, and even a Doggie Dream Home for your pet. The total prize value is $2,052,450.

Of all the Dream Homes in years gone by, I can honestly say that this one is my favorite. To see some of the beautifully-designed and decorated rooms of this year's Dream House, see my Inside the 2009 HGTV Dream Home article.

Entry is open to US residents aged 21 and above. Enter daily through February 19, 2009 for the best chances of winning. You can also enter as often as you like by mail, but remember that those postage stamps add up. There will be millions upon millions of entries for this sweepstakes, so don't blow your postage budget on a long shot.
