*** 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.

Jennifer says
Homes me!
If I was buying a house again it would definately need a large fenced in yard for my crazy, energetic doxies to run around in, be way closer to work (the hour and 20 commute each way is no fun!) and it would need the laundry room on the main floor but then again then I wouldn’t have an excuse not to do laundry anymore!
Nicole says
HOMES ME!
Definitely more than one bathroom! I will be so excited the day that the hubs and I don’t have to compete in the morning. I am NOT a morning person and don’t like to share before I’m all the way awake!

Homes me! I would look for what we were lucky to get with this home- a street full of good neighbors who are into the “it takes a village” form of group kid raising.
Amanda w says
Homes Me!
A garage. We don’t have one now and would love a place to do projects. More square footage and closet space wouldn’t hurt either.
Laura says
HOMES ME!
Something that was simultaneously in CA and MD so I could be in the city I love but also near my family! Totally possible, right?
