*** This giveaway is now closed. See who won below! ***
An early Christmas present (in the form of this $500 Visa gift card) has randomly chosen to come to the hands of… Mary (whose dream house would be a “big cozy log cabin out in the woods” complete with fishing pond, swimming pool, hot tub, huge whirlpool tub in her bathroom and a giant walk in closet. Her fantasy list doesn’t end there, so check out her comment for the rest). Congrats Mary!
With a URL as broad as Homes.com, there are a lot of topics you might think they cover. Because people buy homes. They decorate homes. They do home improvements. You get the idea. Well, Homes.com does cover all of those things – from all stages of the home buying process to decor and DIY. We especially enjoyed their home values and city profiles (because we’re nerds for stuff like that). But what you’ll probably enjoy the most is the chance to win a $500 Visa gift card from Homes.com this week. Yup, five hundred dolla dolla bills (in plastic form) to spend wherever you’d like for whatever stage of home ownership you’re currently enjoying. Oh yeah, and they’re also giving away a signed copy of our book over on their blog.

Maralee says
Homes me, please!
Kristin says
HOMES ME!
I’d like a house with a big blank room to put my very own kitchen in – from scratch.
Moira says
“HOMES ME!”
The perfect location relative to school, work and sports… and hardwood floors would be nice.
becca says
homes me! we’d love another bathroom (we only have one.)
Meghan says
My home “must have” would be a second bathroom! 1 is never enough :)
Colleen says
HOMES ME!
I love my current house, but I dream of a master suite, complete with dual sinks and dual closets, in my next home.
Amanda s says
If I were buying a new house it would have radiator heat because my skin gets so dried out by central heat!
Nichole K says
HOMES ME! I love the house we bought this April! I commute about 40 minutes both ways (which is short to some, I know) but if I could work from home, I’d be VERY happy! Oh, a back yard fence would be awesome too!
Russ says
HOMES ME!
Amanda K says
HOMES ME!
I would want insulation in the walls…not very exciting, but very practical.
Amanda says
HOMES ME! (Please!)
I would want a big, open kitchen. I cook a lot, and I currently have a tiny kitchen. When people come over and I run into the kitchen to do something, they follow and we’re awkwardly standing in my 10×10 kitchen. It’s hard to describe, but it’s really, really super-awkward in reality.
Dana Z. says
HOMES ME!
The top of my ‘must have’ list would be a nice, comfortable soaker tub!
allison says
Homes Me!
My must have would be a master bathroom!
Alex M says
Homes Me! I’d like a much bigger kitchen!
Christina says
Homes me! Would love some more STORAGE SPACE! And a pool wouldn’t be too bad either :)
dana says
Homes Me, please!
The 820 square foot home I currently live in is not exactly ideal so the must-haves for the next home are pretty extensive. One thing I certainly long for is a larger bathroom!
Alicia B says
Homes me! We live in a townhome now and I wish more then ever we have a bigger living room, back patio and yard!
Alison says
Homes Me! So many items are on my list, but a fenced in backyard for our black lab puppy, Wyatt would be great for late night outings.
Veronica S says
Homes Me!!!! I just bought my first house less then a year ago and i LOVE IT! The only thing I’d change would be to add a hot tub to the backyard….bc, honestly, who doesn’t love a hot tub?!?
Linda says
HOMES ME!
If I could have a new home I’d want something with less boxy rooms.
Whitney R says
HOMES ME!
dana k says
Homes Me! I would want a house with more walls….our current house it too open and it isn’t the greatest for sleeping babies! Oh, and I am loving stone on the exterior.
Magdalena says
HOMES ME!
Location and big kitchen… my two absolute must haves!
Erin Hunt says
HOMES ME! Just more blank rooms so I can decorate
Michelle I says
HOMES ME! A home with a lot of acres!
Erin says
HOMES ME! :)
Kim Early says
HOMES ME! PLease. Would make for a great Christmas for the kids.
Sarah Howard says
HOMES ME!!
If we were to get a new home today, I’d probably want a larger kitchen/dining room area. I love my kitchen now, but our dining room is awfully small, I’d want the two a little bit more together then how our house is now. I’d also want a bigger yard for my daughter and dog to be able to run around in.
Breanna says
“HOMES ME!” larger closets!
Kim W Rily says
HOMES ME!
I would have to have the big kitchen that we added onto our house. It was the one big drawback to our 1950s house. A small old kitchen with no dishwasher. Now that we have four of us, no way would I do this.
Kelly says
HOMES ME! If I were to buy another house, it would HAVE to have a fireplace!!
Katie Lewis says
HOMES ME! A dining room…
jen says
Homes me! Master bathroom!!! Sharing with two little girls is only going to get harder!
Calista says
HOMES ME!
We just bought a house, and it was because of the DREAM backyard. But, inside we’d like to do a luxurious master bath update some day. Ahh dare to dream!
Gray says
Homes Me! Any home I buy will require a decent sized yard with room for my pup to play, and maybe a few foster pups too! One day it will happen! :)
Paige H says
HOMES ME! A house close to family… with a BIG kitchen!
Danielle says
HOMES ME! I would love a master bath!
Casey says
HOMES ME!
If I were to buy a new house today, my must would be some more square footage. While owning a tiny house is fantastic, it makes the idea of growing our family a little daunting with how we will all fit.
Allison Brown says
HOMES ME! I would have to have a large, shaded back yard with a picket fence!
McKayla says
Homes me! I would need to have updated plumbing and a big bath tub!!
Anne Weidner says
Homes me!
Linde says
HOMES ME!!!
Must have 2 full bathrooms!
Susie says
HOMES ME! A working fireplace, not the gas kind, is an absolute must!
Nicolle says
Homes Me! My next house must have a BIG yard and 3 bathrooms.
Justin says
HOMES ME!
Man cave is a must!
Crystal says
Homes me! We just moved into a house in a nice neighborhood this last May. I really love our house but I guess I wouldn’t mind a larger kitchen with more counter space if I were to choose an upgrade.
Breanna B. says
HOMES ME! My future house would have to have larger bathrooms! I hate the 2 little ones we have now!!!!!!!!!
Keisha says
HOMES ME! I actually love my current home, and hope to never move, so I don’t know if I have any ‘must haves,’ but I would like to have another bathroom and a mudroom/ doorway off the driveway. I would also like to finish our attic.
Janelle says
HOMES ME! My non-negotiable is a backyard. Having lived in an apartment for 4 years, any backyard would be a luxury. My dog needs room to run.
Hailey Montoya says
HOMES ME!
I would def look for more square footage/an extra bedroom. We plan to have baby #2 asap and there just doesn’t seem to be enough space to do everything in our current house.
Becky L says
