*** 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.

A new house would have to have — everything structural done, and maybe an attached garage.

Homes me! Trying to coordinate cooking for 22 people this saturday with only one oven has made me dream of a bigger kitchen with a double oven, so that is what I would be looking for.
Jenny H says
HOMES ME!! If I was shopping for a new house, I would definitely want a big bright kitchen- with french doors leading to a beautifully landscaped garden – and bathrooms with counter and storage space. A girl can dream.
Hand Jill says
HOMES ME!
My must have for my new house would be a husband to go with it…haha…just kidding (sort of) – but really, I would love a bigger kitchen with more cabinets and/or a pantry.

HOMES ME!

Crystal says
homes me!
bigger backyard or a master bath with a huge tub.
Trilby says
HOMES ME! We currently have our house on the market, so my “must-have” list is very fresh in my mind. The number one must-have is more square-footage! Our little family has outgrown our current house, so we’re looking for something bigger.
Stefanie says
HOMES ME!
Expansive counter space in the kitchen or a fireplace… but if you forced me to choose, I’d go with storage space.

Homes me! We are outgrowing our little ranch, I need more space!

HOMES ME!
I would love a master bathroom and bigger closets!
Stacy says
Homes Me! We are currently up in the air, trying to decide if we want to give up the tiny home on a great lot in an amazing part of town for a bigger house with small yard in a less awesome part of town…super tough, but I WANT a 2nd bathroom!!
Robyn says
HOMES ME! We just built a new house and the only thing I wish we’d done was put a few skylights in the family room.
Rebekah says
HOMES ME!!! I would want to be a little closer to work and definitely have a flat backyard!! My husband has moved 2 tons of dirt with a shovel and wheel barrel and built a retaining wall to level an area for our daughter’s swingset … but it still makes for a difficult backyard and useable space.
megan says
HOMES ME!!
My dream is to have an en-suite :)
Francis Moore says
HOMES ME! I would love to have a room to use for my quilting projects.

HOME ME!

We always our next house has to have more storage. and a two car garage. and a larger living room. and another bedroom. and…well you get the idea.
Lisa says
Homes me, please!
If I was buying a new house, I would insist on enough space in the master bath to place a large soaking tub (preferrably iron and clawfooted). Wrap porches would be nice too!
Mariel Trainum says
Homes me please!
Melissa says
HOMES ME!
If I were to buy a house today, it would have a large, fenced-in backyard for my furbabies!! :)
Carly G. says
Homes me! My main must have is a large flat fenced in yard for my sweet hound dog!
Hallie says
HOMES ME, homeslice!
My husband and I agree–the next home will have more space.
Even though there are just two of us, we want to be able to provide shelter to visiting friends and family. For many people to fit comfortably.
Fun dreams.
