*** 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.

Britt F. says
Homes Me!! I would LOVE a larger closet and a pantry. Those are harder to find in older homes, and with that being where my heart lies, we’re constantly searching.
Megan S. says
HOMES ME!
Location, location, location! I would love to be in the historic district of Boulder… ok, that would be more of a wish.
It would have to have an open layout.
Sarah K says
HOMES ME!
Since our current apartment is about 400 sq ft I’d have to go with some more footage… :)
Jeannine says
Homes Me!! So many things but two full baths, bigger bedrooms, more counter space in my kitchen, and larger closets would be a start!!
Holly says
HOMES ME!!
I love our home but if I could add something it would be a mudroom for sure!! A place to corral all of the coats, shoes, backpacks, etc…
Nichole Palmer says
“HOMES ME!” My must haves would be a master bath, all white open kitchen and a hidden walk in pantry.
Carolyn says
HOMES ME!
I’d be looking for more bathrooms!
Laurie says
“Homes me!” I’d get a privacy fence. My current neighbors howl and bark at my dog just to get him going.
Stacey says
Homes Me! Towards a mattress upgrade!
Sylvia says
HOMES ME!
My new home would have a better kitchen layout with a walk-in pantry and and a huge island of course… :-)

HOMES ME!
A finished basement of some sort for the kids.

Homes me! I’d love to be closer to work in a great neighborhood filled with well-maintained older homes.
Lindsey says
HOMES ME!
2 car garage and fenced-in yard.
Allyson says
Homes me! We would definitely look for something with more built in storage; something we totally didn’t plan for in our current house. But we totally love our current home aside from that.
Jenna says
HOMES ME!!! PLEASE :) At this point in my life I would just love a home period! My husband and I have an apartment right now and we are hoping to be on the house hunt at the beginning of the year. We have been saving SO hard and I just hope our hard work will pay off! We are hoping for a house more in between our jobs but really a space that we can start a family in and be there for a long time. Thank you for this opportunity!
Amanda says
HOMES ME! I would need a master bathroom. I can’t imagine being that close to my shower. #fantasylifeneedsimprovement,maybe
Shannon says
HOMES ME!
I would try to find a place with hardwoods upstairs, a walk-up attic and a screened in porch and/or upstairs sleeping porch. Ahhh dreams! That being said, I love my old house :)
Niki says
HOMES ME!
We are looking for a house and a master bath is a must!
Summer says
HOMES ME!! I would buy a couch, because right now I don’t have any living room furniture and it’s killing me! lol
Nirja says
Homes me, please! I would look for an extra bathroom for houseguests!
Michelle L says
HOMES ME! I would have to have a rooftop patio….need some outdoor space and in the city it’s hard to come by!
Nirja says
Homes me please! Definitely look for a yard to get some gardening on!
april says
HOMEs Me! I love our current house, just love it. But, and this is a big butt (hehe), if we looked for another house I would particularly look for a real fireplace (we have an electric one currently), a mudroom (we walk right into our kitchen, which kind of frustrates me), a garage and a pool. In no particular order.
Angela Wells says
Homes Me!!
lauren says
homes me!
We just bought a house at the end of May, so the thought of moving sounds terrible! But I’d be willing to consider it if it came with you two to DIY everything for me ;)
Jen says
HOMES ME! I would need a fenced backyard in any new home.
kellie says
HOMES ME!
Maya says
Homes me!
A large open kitchen with an island that fits two comfortably. We have one in our current house and I love it. It’s still a treat to use after 3.5 years!
ESBlondie says
“HOMES ME!”
I would love a very big spa-like master bathroom.
Nicole B says
HOMES ME! I would love a fenced in back yard for my sweet black lab. He would be in heaven, and I would be too if I could have an outdoor living room :) Thanks for the giveaway!
Cora says
Homes me!!!
I would love to have a place with an open floor plan because that to me feels cozy and big at the same time!
Angela Wells says
My new home must have a fenced in back yard for my two Chihuahuas (Hey Burger!) to play, run around and be safe.
Colene E says
Homes me… a more open floor plan! I love houses that flow well.
meghan says
homes me!
a flat back yard
AliCountry says
HOMES ME!!
My Hubs & I just happen to be (hopefully) closing on our first home next week!! By far, location was most important to us. (It’s next door to my parents’ home!)
Andrea says
Homes me!
If I could buy a new home in the near future, I would buy a sprouling RANCHER so my 8 year old daughter could walk freely throughout the house without having to climb stairs! She has mild Cerebral Palsy which makes walking a little more complicated than most!!! :)
erin says
HOMES ME!
I MUST have a fenced in yard and one story! I am over the stairs!!
Eileen says
HOMES ME!!!
I would really, really want a vestibule (because don’t you love that word?!) and a working fire place in the bedroom.
Jess says
HOMES ME! I want a house with four bedrooms so no one has to share!
Anne says
HOMES ME!
I’ve always wanted a fireplace. When we bought our first house, the only thing we knew for sure was it had to have a fireplace. That didn’t happen. Three houses later, still no fireplace. :(
Megan says
HOMES ME!
I would invest in bigger closets! Our 1968 home is really lacking in the closet department!! In fact, if I win this giveaway, I plan to buy/build some closet organizers!
Yalanda says
HOMES ME!!!!!! At the very top of my list for a new home would be a cute, quiet, friendly neighborhood away from any corporations which is the exact opposite of where my current home is :(
BornInaZoo says
HOMES ME!
Marisa says
HOMES ME! I would love a chef’s kitchen.
Allison says
HOMES ME! A fenced in yard so my doggies can run and play whenever they want! :)
Amber says
Homes me!
I am actually currently in the process of buying a new house; the top “must-have” was something closer to work for both my husband and me – the commute is an hour each way for me, but will be going down to about 20 minutes, yay!
Gwen says
HOMES ME!
I’d love a house with a master bathroom!
Erin says
HOMES ME, please! I would look for more square footage…need more room for our growing family.
Stacy says
HOMES ME! While a pool would be nice in the summer time (or even an indoor pool year round), I would settle for a larger fenced in backyard for my two large dogs. I would also love a bigger kitchen for entertaining!
Jackie says
HOMES ME! Definitely a bigger kitchen! ;)
