*** 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.

Lindsay Z says
My husband and I are currently shopping for a new house right now, so homes.com is very popular in our house.
Our must have in our next house is more garage space!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Bryan says
homes me! a big fenced back yard for the puppy!
Andrea says
HOMES ME!
I’d love a home in a good area that has good bones but leaves enough room in the budget to renovate and make it our own.
Ashley says
HOMES ME!!!!
I’m am totally crushing on houses that have the laundry room off of the master closet ( mail level). My master bedroom is upstairs, and I have the hardest time getting my ( and the husbs) clothes down and up again! I would also love sapce for a real pantry, all we have is a “broom closet”!!
Christina J says
Homes me! I want a finished basement with a big craft room.
Kirstin says
HOMES ME!
I’d love to have a 3rd bedroom/office/playroom. Basically I’d just love to have a little extra space.
Nina says
Homes me! I need a jacuzzi bath! I share a bathrk with my toddler and all house guests now so I dream of a grand master bathroom someday.
Jenn B says
HOMES ME!!! Without a doubt, more square footage! We live in the sugar shack with 1,100 square feet shared between two adults, a 3 1/2 year old, a 15 month old and a 7 year old chocolate lab. WE NEED SPACE! Fingers crossed for the drawing!
Kristin says
HOMES ME!
I would looooove a jacuzzi for sweet, wonderful, relaxing baths :)
Evan Thompson says
HOMES ME!!
I would love some more square footage in a new home and a more intuitive floor plan. And definitely a larger master bath. But we are working with what we’ve got and have a lot of future plans to improve our space.
Katie says
Homes me! I’d love a legitimate master suite (with enough closet space for two people’s wardrobes).
Elise says
HOME ME!
Just a cute little inexpensive place in a nice neighborhood would be nice!
Shawna says
HOMES ME!
Amy says
Homes me, please! I’d love a house with a new, clean, functional kitchen.
Cait says
HOMES ME!!
If I were to move, my dream house would have a playroom for the kids, a sewing room for me and an office for the hubs.
Rebecca says
Homes Me!!
Our house now is perfect except it’s on a hill. Our next house definitely needs a flat plot of land.
Christine says
Homes Me!
My next home will be “Our Home”. My fiance has graciously moved into my house, so 2 people with a lot of stuff are crammed into a 936 sq. foot home.
Becky says
Homes me! We live in city condo, so we would love a single family house with a yard…Some day!
stephanie says
house me!!!
definitely would love a larger kitchen, definitely is the heart of our home and would definitely like to make it easier for more than just one of us to be in there!
Jennifer Gessner says
HOMES ME! We would love another living space like a den. The living room just seems so over-crowded with toys that another space to store that and our computer would be wonderful!
Miriam says
Homes me!
I would love a screened in porch.
Stefani says
HOMES ME! I’m in an apartment now, so anything would be better, because it would be mine!
Kathy R says
Homes Me!
If we had a new home, I’d definitely need at least 2 more bedrooms and 1 more bathroom. I’d also prefer for the master to be located separate from the other bedrooms (although right now it’s great as we expect a baby boy in February).
Shawna says
I would have to have a location close to my husband’s work when I buy a home. I can’t stand the thought of wasted family time due to a long drive time. (0:
Danielle says
HOMES ME! I would love a big tub to soak in!
Alex says
HOMES ME! I’d look for an affordable, well-insulated house.
Sydney says
HOMES ME!
My biggest must have would be an open floor plan. It’s what we have now and I don’t think I could do without it!
christine b says
HOMES ME!
A garage would be perfect! Somewhere to store the tools when they are not in use…and somewhere to work when it is raining out because our current situation consists of storing the tools in the back of our large SUV.
Crystal H. says
Homes me! My must-have is a yard with big shade trees. I love them!
Kala M. says
Homes Me!
I guess location would have to be our number 1 must have. Because like they always say, “You can change a lot about a house but you can’t really pick it up and move it.” Since we live in a badly insulated apartment we have a huge list of other must have’s like more space, newer windows, No bats in the attic, etc… I’m not afraid of something a outdated and actually look forward to DIYing it to make it our home.
LC says
Homes me!!
Trees are a must for us! A house can be made over, but the shade and beauty that a shaded lot provides can’t be achieved in an afternoon makeover.
Sandy says
HOMES ME!
Stacy Whittum says
Homes me!!!! Open floor plan and new windows!!!
Morgan says
Home Me! If we decided to look for another home, it would have to have a master bathroom!!
Catherine says
HOMES ME!
If I could buy a house today it would have to have a big (preferably already fenced) back yard!
Carole says
HOMES ME!
A big entrance would be my priority and a home on a quiet street.
Katie says
Homes me! My next house will have a second bathroom.
Maggie says
Homes me!
If I were to buy a house right now I’d like a big yard for my friends and my puppy to enjoy!
Sarah says
Homes me! I’d like our new house to be closer to my work (downtown). Then I could bike to work without looking like a sweaty mess!
Shelby says
Homes me! A backyard for the dogs to run around in!
Rebecca W. says
HOMES ME!
I want more square footage, 1000 was alot straight out of a college dorm room but not alot married with stuff.
Valerie says
HOMES ME!
A big backyard! With a very energetic little boy on our hands and one on the way, a big backyard where they can play for years to come is a must!
Lauren D. says
HOMES ME!!
I’d love a great house that needs a little TLC close to work. Location is non-negotiable to me.

HOMES ME!! I would love another bedroom!

Homes me!
I wish I had a kitchen island.

As long as my house is close to family and has walk in closets, who cares?

HOMES ME! I definitely just want more space and maybe his and hers closets in the master bedroom!

Homes me! A yard and a house not on or near busy streets is a must for us.
