HGTV Dream Home is the American cable television network HGTV's annual project house and sweepstakes, held since 1997. The sweepstakes commences with a January 1st television special showcasing the fully furnished, custom-built home valued in excess of one million dollars; viewers are invited to enter online. The 2012 contest drew over 81 million entries.
Starting with the 2004 Dream Home in St. Marys, Georgia, public tours have been offered, with some of the ticket proceeds benefiting local charitable groups. The 2012 proceeds went to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Utah.
Most of the Dream Home winners have sold their prizes, largely due to the accompanying property taxes and bills. As of 2006,
