*** 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.

Nina says
HOMES ME!I would definitely want kitchen counter space and cupboards that go for days…
kristin says
HOMES ME!
Closet space, our old has has bedrooms without closets, even tiny ones!
Holley says
HOMES ME! My list includes: Close to work, close to the beach, architectural interest, good sized kitchen, good sized yard, and a major bonus would be a pool. But unfortunately, I’m still an apartment dweller, and will be for the foreseeable future. One day… :)
Ann says
HOMES ME!
Margaret says
Homes Me! HMMMM– taller ceilings, more sq ft
Megan M says
HOMES ME! I’d like a house with fewer problems to fix!
Kim says
HOMES ME! I would definitely need to have more space between me and the neighbor behind me!!! I would love to be on a lake…oh one can dream! :)
Erin says
HOMES ME! I’d want a garage long enough to fit my truck.
Rachel says
HOMES ME!
It would be great to have an entrance way in our house,..our current home has the front door open to the only living room. Uggghhh!
Kara says
Homes me! It would be all about the yard… not the green mowable type, but a woodsy natural yard at the end of a quiet street.
bdaiss says
Homes me please! I’m not sure what I’d look for. We built our dream house a few years ago so I’m pretty darn tickled with what I have. Oh! A stacked rock fireplace. One thing we had to cut from the budget…
shana says
homes me! we recently moved into our home and are so happy to have a nice place to call our own =)
Terri says
“HOMES ME” A single story with good flow, tons of storage and a beautiful kitchen to gather in.
Ashley says
Homes me! It would have to have an updated kitchen, at least mostly updated. I couldn’t do without a kitchen for a month or longer renovation.
Alison says
HOMES ME!
it would be community living in an established neighborhood!
jenni says
Homes Me. I would finally create the dream room my daughter has always wanted.
Katie Mc says
HOMES ME!! If I were buying a house, it would definitely need a big living room/den. My current one is on the small side, which really interferes with my home-alone dance parties… no bueno.
amy says
HOMES ME!
I would love a little cape cod with a fun sunroom for getting messy with the kiddos and swanked-out master suite addition for me & my man. Dreamy.
Joy says
HOMES ME! If I were looking to buy a house today my must haves are a fireplace, a basement, and a more rural setting (a little room to stretch out my legs between myself and the nearest neighbor)
Meredith K A says
HOMES ME!
We want our next home to be our last, so there’s a big list of must-haves. Everything is upgradeable over time, so top of our list is land–we want enough to have a huge garden and some goats and chickens, and still room for kids to play, and preferably a house with lots of green upgrade potential. A more normal thing I’ve really been wishing for lately is to have laundry NOT in the basement!
Mallory M. says
Homes Me! :)
If I were to buy a home now, my “must-haves” would be to have a decent-sized closet in the master bedroom (I have never had one before) and at least 2 bathrooms. (I live on my own in a bachelor apartment so really, anything different would be a dream come true! Haha.)
Robyn says
HOMES ME!
I would love a yard after living in an apartment for the past 10+ years, I’m ready for some grass!
Katie says
Homes me!!
As a 23 year old with a couple of roommates, a bathroom to myself sounds lovely :)
Sara says
HOMES ME!!!!
We are on the hunt right now! I want a two story with a full basement. We are in a 3 bedroom right now with 6 kids under 1700 sq ft. We desperately need more space!
Hilary says
HOMES ME!
My must have at my next house is an attached garage! No more scraping the car on winter mornings!
Ana Hogan says
HOMES ME!
If I were to buy a new house today, It would need to have more square footage. Currently, we live in a 38ft RV. My three kiddos would love to have their own rooms. Someday! :)
Kathy says
Homes me! Please, 1 story, all the way
Quinlan says
HOMES ME! I love our house, but if we were to move I would definitely want a big, beautiful kitchen!
Solange Morrissette says
HOMES ME! My dream home would have a HUGE kitchen with multiple ovens and a fireplace.
Kristin says
HOMES ME! I want a fireplace in my next home.
Jenny H says
HOMES ME!
Closer to family…and another bedroom!
Rebekah C says
Homes Me!
I would definitely get more square footage and another bedroom so that we can expand our family. Green space for the dog too, and perhaps a basement so that we can keep the litter boxes out of sight (and out of smell!).
Cara says
“HOMES ME!”
If we were to buy another house right now, I’d be looking for a few key things…more square footage (bedrooms), more acreage (I hate having neighbors right on top of us), a bigger kitchen, and a laundry room that has room to move in. Oh, and a bathtub I can actually take a relaxing bath in (as opposed to the tiny tubs in our current house that don’t quite cut it).
Elisa says
HOMES ME!! It would definitely be a home in a quiet area.
julie says
HOMES ME!
Would love a fenced-in yard so my dog can frolic more. Bigger driveway so my sons have more space for playing hoops.
Erin Gallagher says
HOMES ME! I would need the most fabulous, inspiring, clean kitchen ever!!!
Lyndsey says
HOMES ME! I am currently preparing for a move across the country to a tiny little apartment, but if I could go buy a house tomorrow I totally would. The top must have would probably be a yard for a big dog. I’m tired of these little apartments not being suitable for big dogs!
Stephanie says
HOMES ME!
I’d really like a third bedroom for my husband to have his own space. And I’d like our next house to be a single house versus the duplex we have now.
Sherry says
“HOMES ME!” A master bathroom.
Grace Anne Haynes says
Homes me! I would want some quirky features and LOTS of built-in bookshelves. LOTS OF THEM.
Kelly W. says
HOMES ME!
I would love to have an older house with a bit of charm! Actually, I would love to just own a house right now – saving little by little.
Kate says
HOMES ME!! I would like a bigger kitchen!!
Deanna H. says
A laundry room! :)
Autumn Beach says
Homes me! Plenty of closets and storage space!
Belinda says
Homes me! Higher ceilings!
A. Hansen says
HOMES ME!
My new home must have is a big fenced in yard for the kid and the pups. We have an offer in on a short sale currently with 6.6 acres, so there will be plenty of room for the fence when we finally close. :)
Melissa says
HOMES ME!! I would definitely look for a much larger yard. I’m a big gardener on a tiny lot!
Erica says
Homes ME!
If I were to get a new home right now, it would need to have a finished basement, be in the neighborhood I lurve, and be 50
+ years old…
AMANDAR says
homes me!
Betsey Wilson says
HOMES ME, please!
I’d have to say I’d be looking for a house with a workshop for painting furniture! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
