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.

Olivia Chelchowski says
Homes Me!! Well, if there’s one thing we’ve learned from John and Sherry, it’s that things can (almost always) be changed! But if I had to pick one thing, my husband and I currently live just down the street from my parents and I’d like to keep it that way, so the neighborhood is very important!!

Caroline Grice says
Homes Me!
If I were to buy a new home one of my most important factors would be having a legit laundry room a closet just doesn’t cut it with all the laundry my family accumulates.
Amanda says
HOMES ME! I want a big bathtub. Nothing fancy with jets or whatnot. Just something that my knees can actually be underwater and I don’t get a bad crick in my neck while trying to relax.
Erin W says
homes me! more square footage would be nice for my husbands office/collection of all things related to his profession. it’s getting out of hand haha. but for me, i just want to stop renting!

The main thing I want to change is my yard…we live on a hill, and it is tricky with a toddler. I would want a level backyard! Otherwise…just transplant my current house…maybe with a new kitchen. ;)
Jen says
homes me! I would love a second bedroom/office/craft room in my next home.

HOMES ME!
All I want is white kitchen cabinets, that’s all.
Jackie says
Homes Me!
We just recently bought a house (in May of this year), at the time, our daughter was six months old. Now that she’s more mobile (and EVERYWHERE) we wish we’d bought a house with a bonus room or dedicated play room. Somewhere just for the kids- which would be so fun to decorate and configure! Definitely a must-have for our next home!
Veronica says
Homes me!!!!!
I would pick a home with more usable space. we have a tiny 3 bedroom ranch and with our tiny family of three and a computer we are already filling it. If we decide to have another baby we will have to get creative!

Tara says
Homes me! A dishwasher. Three kids and no dishwasher, ugh.

Homes me! I think my must have would have to be updated plumbing throughout the entire house.

Amy S. says
Homes me! I would love more natural light in our next home. Thanks!

We just bought a house and our number one reason for choosing the one we did was that we loved the location – close to work and in a great community!
kristin says
HOMES ME!
I just wish we could buy a house, but living in DC that will probably never happen.
Elizabeth B. says
Homes me!
Ashley says
HOMES ME!
We would definitely look for something with a garage. Isaac wants a good space to work with his tools. I just don’t want to clean the snow and ice off my car for six months of the year!
Jan Thompson says
HOMES ME!
It would depend on what location I was buying at but here in OK I would say a pool for the brutally hot summers!

A room that I could customize into my perfect library.
Caitlyn M. says
Ooh me too! Always been a dream of mine!
Vita says
HOMES ME! A second bathroom would be a must!
Beth says
HOMES ME!
My new house would definitely not a galley kitchen like my current place. It would also not have fake butcher block counters…
Patty says
HOMES ME!
I have to have a fenced yard or the ability to fence a yard in a new house. I have a Great Dane who loves to lounge outdoors on sunny days and I’m not a fan of those invisible fences.
