Fab Freebie: Homes On Homepage

*** 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 Dot Com Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A $500 Visa gift card courtesy of Homes.com
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “HOMES ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …if you were to buy a new house today, what “must have” would be at the top of your list? A neighborhood closer to work? More square footage? A bigger yard? Maybe something with a pool… or a helipad?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Dec 5th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond the US (more on that here). This giveaway is open to The United States & Canada.
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Homes.com

    I love our house, would like a bigger lot next time. We live in a cookie cutter subdivision and can almost touch our neighbors house from our window. Okay it’s not that bad, but more land would be great.

    Lots and lots of windows are at the top of my house want list! Every place we’ve ever had has been an apartment and we’ve only ever had windows on one side of our unit. And usually only one window per room.

    I’m just dying for a home full of windows that bring in amazing natural light! Ah!

    HOMES ME! I love living in the city (Church Hill in RVA!), but my postage stamp-sized yard is the only downfall to a house is otherwise perfect. A much larger yard for the dogs to run around in (doggie obstacle course, perhaps?) and a big garden will be a must have for the next house.

    I’d like a place with more trees and also established native landscaping, since this is a hot area prone to drought. More shade would be great, but I love my location and the size of the house. Oh, also maybe a garage with an automatic opener.

    We need a garage that can actually fit our car in it. When we were trying to buy a new car, we had to bring it home to make sure it’d fit. Gotta love a garage that was built to the minimum specks!! :(

    Plus a finished basement…the list will never end.
