*** 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.

HOMES ME! I would love a fireplace AND a pool, even though and because, I live in the desert.
Nicole S. says
HOMES ME!
I would look for a small, bungalow single-family home with a great front AND back yard. We’re living in an awesome historic two-flat in Chicago, but I miss having our “own” home.

As we wait for the arrival of our firstborn, I keep wishing we had bought a house with the master bedroom on the same floor as the other bedrooms! Upstairs nursery alert!

Elyse Danielle says
HOUSE ME! Well, I just bought a home a couple of months ago and the one thing on my list that I am so thankful for is having the master bedroom on the 1st floor. My husband’s mom lives with us and it is just added privacy living on two separate floors. :)

HOMES ME!!! :)
My future home would have the best library/reading room in the world!

HOMES ME!!
Dream house (still searching!)…a yard for the dogs & close enough to bike/walk to work, grocery store, and the coffee shop!
Allison L says
HOMES ME, please! :)
If I were to buy another home, I think 2 major requirements would be 1) a kitchen with more counter space, and 2) a dining room so I could entertain bigger groups of friends.
Lindsey @ Sound Eats says
