Find out, when House Hunters hits the shores of what HGTV refers to as the wildest isle of the Antilles – Dominica!

    I love this show! I look forward to seeing this episode featuring my favorite island Dominica. I especially like the Northern part of Dominica, which to my understanding was the main focuss of the show.

    wait a moment. These two … Andy and Fiona already have property here. In Toucari. They have a small house there and have visited the island many times They know it well.

    Why were they chosen for this then?

    Even the TV is corrupt these days.

      So what if they have property here already. This is advertisement for DA and we will take it when we get it. Stop being so closed minded and look at the bigger picture.

        “these two already have property here” …duh!!! the show was filmed in March so obviously they have already chosen the property, the show will be aired after they have acquired the property and will also show you how well they have settled. Be happy that Dominica is getting some exposure at least!!!!

      If you want to buy a house you just call the show and they film the process, you could have 10 houses already, or be from where ever. You just apply to do it on the show.

    chupst, Dominicans cant afford to buy land for ex pats coming in and paying top dollar for houses.
    We have no real estate market as folks ask what they think a property is worth, based upon years and memories, rather than the cold hard fact that it is bricks and mortar and has a true value.
    Most folks at a 4:1 exchange are laughing at us.
    You have two self contained apartments it is not a “house” it is apartments, sell them separately.

      -What is your problem?

      I purchased a house and some land from a real estate agent and was more than happy with the service I got.

      Be glad that the rate of exchange £Sterling to the EC$ is 4.1. This allows people to come to Dominica and get value for money. As they are non nationals if they buy they’ll pay 20% of the value to the government as alien tax, so before they have moved in they would have already started to contribute to the economy.

      There are not enough people in Dominica. We need foreigners so that the island can continue to develope and go forward, so as long as they are decent law abiding folks, just say ‘welcome’.

    Postive for Dominica and great exposure hope all True Domnicans tune in –in order to generate much ratings for future epsisodes on regular basis such money that we will be well served for that exposure. I`m already excited and cant wait for the showings. Who can view such as negative?? Lets rally around our lovely Island and keep it crime free and inviting at all times. Whoever is behind this venyure needs to be commended highly! Down with the politics for a change.PEACE AND LOVE TO D/ca everytime.
