Woman getting the house in a state (5)

I believe the answer is:

idaho

'in a state' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'woman getting the house' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'Ida' (woman's name).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'ida'+'ho'='IDAHO'

(Other definitions for idaho that I've seen before include "silver-mining state" , "Northern US state" , "North-western US state" , "agricultural land" , "US state S. of Montana" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
