*** 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, please! Sooo many things…a bit more space, some charm, a yard, etc. :)
eric says
Homes Me! I would give the card to my wife so she can get the supplies of her dreams….and she has lots of them lately.
Tony C says
HOMES ME!
A must have would definitely be a bigger kitchen and living room!
Kristin H. says
“HOMES ME!” homies!
My must would be more square footage. We only have 800 square feet now, and it’s just too claustrophobic sometimes. I think I’d like that square footage in the shape of a second bathroom and closets!
JenS says
HOMES ME!!!
I LOVE our current house but as we have baby #3 on the way (due to arrive in January) it would be awesome to have one extra bedroom! A bigger backyard would rock too. Oh and my husband would love a garage. That’s not asking too much, is it???
Julie S says
Homes me!
I would want a house in a great location with an open floorplan!
Natalie R. says
HOMES ME!!
I have a long list of things I love in my current place but few I’m still looking for..the main one would be a PRIVATE outdoor area, the creepy neighbors are starting to get to me !
Leeanne says
Homes me!
I would want an open kitchen that allows me to be with the rest of the family when I’m cooking dinner!
Lisa Jackson says
HOMES ME!
After putting three kids through college and a financial reality check, my husband and I are DIY’ing and thrifting our way to making our house our own. A new house for us would have lots of windows and a larger master suite :)
Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
Elizabeth says
Homes me!
I need a good kitchen, or at least a large space for a possibly great one
Marcie says
HOMES ME! I love our house now in the WestEnd. The location, suze, layout, etc are all fabulous. I just wish we had a garage for bikes, tools, and a messy DIY space.
Pamela says
“HOMES ME!” If we had it to do over, we would buy a house with a basement. The trade off was that we have a lovely lake behind our house, so we do without the basement.
Carey says
HOMES ME! Now that all my kids can swim, I would love to have a pool to keep them busy during the summer…
Susan says
Homes me!
I’d love a pool. With a beach entrance. And a slide. And rocky landscaping. And a hidden cave in the rocks. With a hot tub.
Hey, a girl can dream.
lisa says
HOMES ME! We are ready to downsizes!
Jason says
Homes me! A Basement would be wonderful
Oriah Lee says
Homes me! Ceiling fans….i need ceiling fans to keep the air circulating. I know they’re currently out of fashion but they’re just so darn useful.
Amanda says
Homes me!
If we could buy a new house right now, it would be in perfect condition so all we had to worry about was decorating instead of rehabilitating :)
Ashley says
HOMES ME! If we were to buy a new home a must have would be VERY LARGE CLOSETS IN ALL BEDROOMS!!! :)
Kayen says
“HOMES ME”
We would love to have a larger, more open kitchen. Then we wouldn’t have the kids running into the open, fridge door when they round the corner too fast!
Cara Allen says
Homes me!
I can tell you that after recently buying a house that a must have is air conditioning and plenty of bathrooms!
Lindsey says
Home me! A must in the next place I live is that it has a washer and dryer! I’m living in an apartment right now, and I am so sick of squirreling away quarters!
Eric Adam says
Homes me. I need shelves!!!….lots of shelves. Help me get there.
Taylor B says
HOMES ME!!
I would LOVE a home with a backyard and hardwood floors. I currently live in a carpeted rowhome with a concrete 10×8 “backyard”….a girl can dream!
Lindsey H. says
HOMES ME!
We would want a house with 2 bathrooms! 1 just isn’t cutting it right now!!
Nikki B. says
Homes me!
A dream kitchen is at the top of my list. One with an island big enough for the entire process of making sugar cookies without having to clean up mid-way through.
Kim says
HOMES ME!
I would like a basement, and a yard – because we want a dog :)
Diana says
HOMES ME!
I’d love to be within walking distance of my neighbors, but not earshot. Goodbye loud downstairs neighbors!
Christina says
HOMES ME!! If I could take our current 1960’s fixer-upper and put it in the middle of 6 or 7 acres???? Our dream…maybe one day!
Robin R says
HOMES ME! I actually AM looking for a new house. My must have is that it is a 4 bedroom ranch.
Christol Hickman says
HOMES ME! I would definitely look for a home that had more square footage. We are a small family of 3, but 1100 feet divided three ways =……well, I never was good in math, but you get the idea!
AntiCookieCutter says
HOMES ME! I’d make a vintage looking kitchen.
Kristal says
HOMES ME!
I would def want a laundry room and a big back yard!
Kimberly says
Homes me!!! If I were to buy a new house today, it would have to have a front porch! That’s the one thing missing in our current house that we can’t (fairly easily) change.
Molly O'Leary says
HOMES ME!
A must have in a new house would be an awesome master suite.
Alyssa says
HOMES ME! I would want four bedrooms, a fenced in yard, patio with sliders, a kitchen like Young House Love’s, 3 car garage to store our outdoor gear, and plenty of gathering space in a desirable neighborhood that had fantastic schools –
Jessica says
HOMES ME!
I would love a really big lot (at least an acre)!!
Sheryl says
Homes me! I need some affordable ikea couches to add casters to so i cam move the furniture around in the basement and customize the scene based off of need.
mymosk says
HOMES ME! PLEASE!
I am looking for a new house with an open floor plan. I want the living and kitchen area to be together. It is lonely being in the kitchen by yourself when every one else is in the living room! Thank you for the opportunity.
Teri says
HOMES ME! I pretty much love our house, but I wouldn’t turn down a craft room :)
Sarah Casto says
HOMES ME!

Homes me! I’d love a little outdoor space in a new house :)
