*** 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.

Jen Lag says
HOMES ME!
At the top of our wish list for The Next House is definitely a garage/workshop space… a fenced yard is on the list as well, our beagle pup would love that!

Homes me!!
I think it’s a toss up between a second bathroom and a two car garage/wider driveway! It’s quite the frusterating mess now
Brittany W. says
HOMES ME!
Our must-have is close proximity to a natural area/preserve. Undeveloped outdoor space is more valuable to us than anything else!
tristan says
HOMES ME! I’d have to insist on a level lot! I gave a pretty intense hill for a front yard!
Krystal says
Homes Me! I would want a home out in the country and closer to my family. Location, Location, Location. We have a bean on the way and our closest family is 2 hours away! We need babysitters! LOL… and probably some more square footage would help.

HOMES ME!
I dream of a second bathroom and more storage.

Homes me!
Amanda says
HOMES ME!
I would definitely like laundry and a dishwasher, although I’m currently just looking apartment not house.
BrassyDel says
Homes me!
My must-have would be decent landscaping. I have two little kids and I hate letting them out to play in our pile of dirt and rocks and occasional unearthed garbage. It’s been a nightmare trying to DIY it into shape.
Jill says
Homes me! Location is number one. Two, in dream land, something with ultra modern architecture

HOMES ME!!! I love our current house, but if we were buying a new home today I would love a garage, a mudroom off of that garage, and a laundry room (as opposed to the laundry closet we have now).
Ashley says
HOMES ME!
We DID buy a new house this year! We have a room that we want as our closet. My wish is to be able to afford getting built-ins from Ikea or Container Store.
Sherri says
HOMES ME!
A big kitchen!

Our next house will have to have a big, spacious backyard with plenty of privacy. Needless to say, we may be looking for quite a while.

Andrea says
HOMES ME! I would definitely be looking for outdoor space–a nice patio overlooking a great backyard for the (future) kiddos to run around in. My husband and I are just renting now but I can’t wait for the day when we actually own our own space!

House me please!!!!!!
Ellen says
HOMES ME!
I’d give anything for a dishwasher.
Jess says
Homes me! More square footage and an awesome kitchen.
Connie M says
Homes Me!
My must haves would be a layout with enough possibilities. I need room to work on projects like art, ceramics, and other things, and I don’t want all of that cluttering up my regular living space. Another must have is an outdoor space to garden, because a beautiful garden makes me happy!
Fahlon says
HOMES ME!
Big kitchen with space for everything and a lowered marble island for baking…..a girl can dream can’t she?
Addy says
HOMES ME!
Currently living in an apartment so I would just be thankful for a home with NO roommates other than my significant other. Oh, and walk in closets would also be nice!
Stephanie Wheeler says
Homes me! I am actually shopping for a house and we really want a rec room and a fireplace!
Keshet says
Homes Me!
Emily R. says
HOMES ME!
I think I’d have to ask for it to be located in a different city. There are things to love about where we live now, but my husband and I long to move to the West Coast! Buying a house can be the first step, right? ;)
Margaret says
HOMES ME! I love our current house, except that we’re not within walking distance of nearly anything. I would love to live near the library/grocery/pharmacy, so we could get some exercise and save on gas. :-)
April K says
HOMES ME! I would definitely have a bigger backyard and a community pool!
