*** 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.

We’d love a place with PRIVACY — a luxury that we don’t get living in the city!

HOMES ME!
We just bought a new house in October and the things we looked for were more bedrooms and a cozy neighborhood within walking distance of the shops in downtown and the lake.
John says
Homes Me. An indoor slide.

We would definitely need a house with for square-footage! And a bigger master bedroom closet ;)
Amanda says
HOMES ME!
If I were to buy a how right now, there a re a few really big must haves. I can live with a small house that’s not fancy but I absolutely must have at least 1 full and a half bath. Also, I must have a decent heating system. The house I own now has ceiling heat (=worst waste of electricity EVER).
Erik says
The next house must have a bathroom with a window.
Smell ya later, HOMES ME!
Andrea says
Homes Me! I would love a large master bedroom.
Michelle says
Homes me! I would love a bigger kitchen!!!!
Michelle P says
HOMES ME!
This may seem silly, but after a recent experience washing our now full grown German Shepherd/Lab mix at home, I would definitely love to have a dog wash station built into the laundry room.
Lindsay says
HOMES ME! I am looking forward to the day where I have a house and not just an apartment… I want to have my own front door!

Homes me! For us it would be a parking space and a bigger kitchen!
Christie says
HOMES ME! I’d look for a place with some more land, and a larger master bathroom. But loving our current place :)
Lydia says
HOMES ME!
I’m pretty sure marriages are healthier in homes with dishwashers, so I’d need a kitchen big enough to accommodate one.
tina says
HOMES ME!
I would love to re-do my kitchen with light cabinets, marble countertops and top notch appliances!
Catherine G. says
Homes me! Our house must have is a separate laundry area.
Nate says
Homes me, please! A man cave.

Homes Me!
I wouldn’t change anything about my new home – it would sure be nice if it came with a yard service though
Melissa Wagner says
“HOMES ME!”
Shannon says
Homes me!
I’d just love to have my own place, so I’m not too picky at this point :)
Diandra says
Homes Me!
I’ve actually been using homes.com a lot lately to monitor houses in my area, hehe! Anyway, I am looking for a house right now and top of our list is a large (preferably fenced in) backyard. Tied for a close second are a really nice kitchen and a second bathroom.
Cori Higgins says
HOMES ME! I’d love to have a two story foyer. Our current home has such low ceilings I’d really like a house with higher, more open ceilings!
rachel l says
Homes Me!
Living in a tiny apartment now…so I’d love, love, love a big (and well appointed:) ) kitchen!
Melissa Wagner says
Bonus question-
Must have: open floor plan. Large master bath with two sinks. Oh the list goes on…

HOMES ME! If anything I would want more square footage.

Homes me!
We would love to have a home with a bigger yard and more entertaining space. :-)

Homes Me!
A finished basement that has a full bathroom, laundry room, guest bedroom and an open area for a playroom/fun room (don’t want much, do I?) :)
Mindy Guidry says
HOMES ME!
If we would buy a new house, we’d DEFINITELY buy something closer to work. We purchased a new house less than a year ago, and my boyfriend got a new job (almost two hours away) less than 2 months later. It’s his dream job (and our dream house), so we don’t complain much – but the gas money is outrageous!
Remy Lawrence says
HOMES ME!
If I were to buy a new home today, it would be our first home, and our must have would be good bones. We can change anything else!
Christina says
HOMES ME!
In our next home I am hoping for an open floor plan!
Andrea says
HOMES ME!
Top of the list would be a large lot. I could not imagine a home located 5 feet from my next door neighbor.
Kirstin says
Homes me! I just want a place of my own!
Jann Whidden says
Homes me, please :)
I would want less square footage, and one level.
Alisa says
HOMES ME! would love to own a house….
MEL says
HOMES ME!!
I really want a formal dining room in my next place.. and a porch…
Nancy says
HO HO HOmes me!!!!
My must have would be a big kitchen in which I could cook up a storm. Second to that would be a big, soaking bathtub. Oh my!
Jordan says
HOMES ME!
I’d buy a FINISHED home, so I can take a break from projects.
Jessica D. says
HOMES ME!
My top of the list item would be a house great for entertaining my HUGE family.
Callie says
Homes Me!
A 2 car garage! We keep our garage clean and clutter free, but we can’t fit our car in because it’s too small!
Jessica says
HOME ME! Our next home would have less grass to mow!
Angela N says
HOMES ME!
We just moved into a brand new house 2 weeks ago! Our must haves were a fantastic school district, open concept, WHITE KITCHEN and a playspace for our 2 girls.
Jewel says
HOMES ME!
I would look for the perfect location. Near my family, in the country, but semi close to my work. With lots of woods and yard for kids and animals to play in.
