*** 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.

Rachel Hassman says
HOMES ME!
If we were buying a house, it would have to have a back yard!
Bethany says
Homes me!
I would want an older home with some character, I don’t typically like new homes. And also a lot with some trees, I live in Florida and no shade = ridiculously hot!
Katelyn says
HOMES ME!!

Homes me
For us the real must have is more square footage, the fantasy is Bat Poles.
smidge girl says
Homes me!!
Truly the only dealbreaker in our next place is the lighting. We get so little sunlight in this place, and it gets mondo depressing. I’ll truly give up in apt. laundry, walk in closets, dishwasher, elevator, ANYTHING, for giant windows and tons of light!
Emily says
Homes me! I’m not sure what my home would be like but it definitely wouldn’t have my parents in it!
Elizabeth D from GA says
Homes me! I would definitely want a bigger yard – one fenced in!

Homes me! I look for neighbourhood and yard size, since anything else about the house can be changed :)

Homes Me!
double vanities and more space for our kids! thanks for this awesome giveaway
Kris says
Homes me!
I would like a garage/workshop space.
Jenn says
Please please please Homes ME!!
I think my ultimate need is closet space. You guys have shown many ways to work with older, small closeted houses, but I’m allll about the walk-ins :) :)
Amy A says
HOMES ME!
More square footage and an extra bedroom would be a must! Baby #2 is due in five weeks, and with only two bedrooms things are quickly getting cramped. ;)
Erika says
HOMES ME!
I’d want a home that is in a “walkable” locale. 2 bathrooms would be nice too!

HOMES ME! well we get the keys to our new house FRIDAY!! i guess i wish the kitche was redone!
Renee L says
HOMES ME!!!
A bigger kitchen and master bedroom for sure!

Whitney says
HOMES ME!
My non-negotiable is a big kitchen.
Alicia says
Homes Me! If I bought a new home, my must have would be location, location, location!
Chelsea says
HOMES ME! I have only been in my home for 1.5 months so I am still content with what we have:)
Bea says
Homes me! A pool and a nice patio…
Chrissi says
HOMES ME!!
I would be on a much bigger lot – like an acre (maybe a half acre!). So my neighbors can’t reach out and touch my house!! Unfortunately in my case it is because of the neighbors not my house!! You know what they say “You can pick your house…but you can’t pick your neighbors!”
Thank you!
Maggie B says
HOMES ME!
we just bought a house… and I love it, it’s our forever home… but if I was buying another I would want slightly more square footage. We come just under 1,500 square feet right now :) Around 1,700 would be all I could possibly want/need/clean…
s leigh says
HOMES ME!
Ash says
HOMES ME! I need a giant kitchen so we can fit all our appliances. Actually, it doesn’t have to be giant, but much bigger than the current one.
Kat says
Homes me!
I would love a fully landscaped backyard. Give me the ugliest interior, but please, do all the work for me on the outside!
Hayley M. says
HOMES ME!!!
If I could buy a house right now, I would want-no, NEED- a space to craft and sew. My fabric stash is in desperate need of $herdog’s organizational skillz, yo.
Ha. :)
Brooke Blanchard says
HOMES ME! We would love to have a garage and all hardwood floors! Thanks so much!

echo says
HOMES ME! Wood floors.
Alexandra says
Homes me!
I would absolutely love a master bathroom, and maybe a fireplace so we had a mantle for hanging stockings!
Stacy says
HOMES ME!
We would love a 3 car garage or a storage shed because we can’t park our cars in our garage currently since it serves as a storage space.
Torey says
HOMES ME! A slightly larger house with one more bedroom and a sunroom or family room.

My next (first) home would ideally have a big open-plan kitchen and dining area opening onto a big backyard.
Laurel says
HOMES ME!!
More than one bathroom seems like my only must have right now!

HOMES ME!
I would like a house that magically cleans itself. Barring that, I’d strongly prefer a house with a garage. And a master bathroom. And a larger kitchen…
Maura says
Homes me! A wood burning stove!
dani says
HOMES ME! We are at the mercy of the Navy and have only rented homes. However, we are really looking forward to a home of our own that we can paint! No more rental white!
Adrian says
HOMES ME! I would love to have just a little more yard space.
lauren s says
Home Me Please!
There would be a few things I’d love in a new house (bigger closets for shoe obsession, a shower for two!, more natural light…) but what i would realy love would be bigger common spaces for rowdier playdates, cozier movie nights, and more family events!
Kristin M says
HOMES ME! The must haves for my next house are; 1) single level, 2) attached garage, 3) 2+ bathrooms.
