*** 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.

Callie says
HOMES ME! The need-be’s on House #2 are another bedroom, another bath or half bath, and more room. Our small starter home seemed to be so big when we first moved in from a tiny city apartment. But one kid later, we’re already feeling like we’ve almost run out of room.
Lori says
HOMES ME! I’d love more space and an extra workout room!
brianne says
Homes me! I would say a big backyard here in ca the new homes have itty bitty lots.
Pam Lowe says
Homes Me! I love my home but really want a white kitchen!
Thank you.
ATLKristen says
“HOMES ME!” My must have would be a gourmet kitchen with double ovens.
Ashley says
Homes me! The biggest must have: great location. We live too far away from everything now, so when we buy, we will be looking at location big time!
Becky says
HOMES ME !! I would want at least one bathroom like I see in magazines, decorated beautifully and BIG!
ErinY says
Homes me!
I would definitely take a bigger kitchen! Our current one is a galley kitchen that’s about 8’x3′ and we’re renting so we can’t change it :P The tiny space could definitely benefit from some organization which would be what I’d use some of the $$ for!
irene says
HOMES ME!
a bigger yard! we are currently renting and have the teeniest backyard ever!
Laurel says
HOMES ME! We would love more walk in closets in our house. Our storage has moved to underneath the beds, and we are bursting at the seams!
Tricia B says
HOMES ME!!!
I’d look for a place with better windows and better drainage around the house. Also, it would need a built-in housekeeper. #Idon’tkeephousemyhousekeepsme
Thanks,
Tricia
Lisa V says
Please Homes Me! Our ideal next home would have a double car garage and a fourth bedroom now that we have a little one on the way!
Andrea says
Homes Me! Definitely more square footage…
Sonia says
HOMES ME!
We purchased a home less then a year ago. I commute about an hour each day to work and daycare. My next home would need to be closer to work. My kids (and mommy) are tired of the commute.
Skylar says
Homes me – my biggest must have will be a shop area to store my tools and work on projects.
MichelleR says
HOMES ME!
A huge laundry room. Huge. Bonus points for a laundry room on the same floor as the bedrooms. So tired of carrying it up and down the stairs!
Shelby says
Homes me! I want an open kitchen and family room area suitable for large parties and the daily fun. Our current home is too cut up so I want better flow in the next one!
Katie says
HOMES ME! I would have to have a big space for where we could hold family gatherings.
Stephanie says
Homes me! I would love a huge yard and a modest sized home – a change from apt living!
Jen. says
Homes me! We bought a house not too long ago, and we got just about everything we were looking for, albeit in dated decor. The only thing I wish today that we had is a mudroom off the garage. Or maybe that the wallpaper were already all stripped.
Karli says
HOMES ME!!! Shag carpet would not come within 10,000 feet of my home. I don’t care if I had to live with just the sub flooring….I would do it in a heart beat! (Yes, I currently have it in the apartment I’m renting…and can’t do a thing about it!)
Karissa says
Homes me!
I would love to have more square footage!
Amber Smith says
homes me! I would love to restore an old victorian home with all the original everythings!
Cait B says
Homes Me!
I close on my first house at the end of the month and my hubby and I are dreaming of a new (and hopefully more comfy then the current Craigslist version) couch (so any suggestions would be good ;) )
Ashley says
Homes me!!! After living in one house with and one without, we definitely want double sinks in our master bath!

Homes me!
I would love to move somewhere that is walking distance to restaurants/coffee/work :)
Alex Capaldi says
HOMES ME! Homie!
If I were to buy a house I would want a wood burning fireplace, open floor plan and a big back yard. Oh, and I would want speakers in every room and outside so I could listen to NPR while doing yard work. Is that too much to ask for??
Skylar says
Homes me: We want a one story house, for sure. Visiting family in a two or three story house makes me realize I do NOT want to run up and down stairs all day!
maureen breen says
“HOMES ME!” I would like to have a “real” master bath. Tub, shower, sink & storage.
April says
HOMES ME!
Definitely a home closer to my husband’s work.

Homes Me!

emily says
Homes me! An extra bedroom and 1/2 bath would be awesome.
emily says
Homes me!
For the next house, I’d love to have a more private back yard. We are city dwellers, so this corner lot is just not cutting it!
Megan C. says
HOMES ME! Master bath is a must.
Elizabeth says
Homes me! Dealing with pipe problems right now so basically any sort of STABLE piping system is my dream house. ;)
Rachel R. says
HOMES ME! A gourmet kitchen and more square footage would be top of my list!
Rebecca says
Homes Me! I’d love a 4th Bedroom, need some “crafting” space!
Ashley says
Homes me! I want a big walk-in shower with lots of shower heads and jets…my husband doesn’t agree that it’s a ‘must have’ yet though. ;)
Jackie P says
HOMES ME!
A fireplace would be a must- we tend to lose power in the winter, but I wouldn’t mind so much if we had a way to keep warm!
Colleen says
HOMES ME! An open floor plan.
Andrea says
homes me, pretty please!
and merry christmas!!!
Kathleen says
Homes Me!
I’m in a condo now. I would love a dishwasher, a washer dryer, a balcony or outdoor space and a covered parking spot!
