*** 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.

I need another bedroom. The boys sharing one is getting crazy up in here!
Merrit says
Homes me a walk in closet! And a non-apartment in general
Caley C. says
HOMES ME! I would LOVE a big yard in our next house, and so would our 87 lbs dog!
Eddie J says
HOMES ME!
We would need a house that had an office AND a bonus room. That way we have enough for Dad’s work and the kid’s play area!
Lindsey says
Loved that website when searching for our recent home purchase! If we could buy again soon, I’d ask for a finished laundry room!
Meredith says
HOMES ME!
The perfect house would have three bedrooms (master, office, guest room) and a crafting room!
Cali says
HOMES ME! I really really want a backyard so I can get a puppy.
Angela says
HOMES ME!
Would love a bigger kitchen, more counter space and an island
Jenny says
Homes Me!
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.
Gina says
Homes me!
I would go for a home that came with a chef to cook and grocery shop for me. I spent entirely too much time at the store tonight… Aaah!
Kathy says
Homes ME! I’d definitely like a nice master bath. And a bigger yard.
Allyson M says
HOMES ME! Well, we just bought a house in February, so it’s pretty easy for me to NOW realize that it would have been nice to have a basement or a garage!! Some place for my husband to store all of his tools and do some work! Live and learn, I guess!! <3
Heather says
Homes Me!!
I want a big enough kitchen to have a place for all my appliances and baking supplies, and big enough to have family and friends over. We love to entertain!!
Lindsey says
Whoops! Forgot to say HOMES ME!
Nadia says
HOMES ME! Just bought a new house, and am realizing that one washroom is not enough. A second would be a must if I ever move!
Kari says
HOMES ME!
I love my little town home, but with a baby on the way, I would like more room(s).
Kristen says
HOMES ME! I definitely want more storage in my next home. And a claw foot tub!
Lisa C. says
HOMES ME!
Helena says
HOMES ME!
Our next house will hopefully be our first true home… complete with a dog. :)
Sarah Gilliam says
HOMES ME!! tons of living space, a huge kitchen with exposed brick, and a warm, cozy fireplace!
Megan @ Two Live Colorfully says
Homes me!
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!
Jessie says
Homes me!!!
I wear hijab…so a fenced in private pool in the next house would be great :) How ’bout the one I pinned on Pinterest…too much? Maybe, but a girl can dream :)
Leah says
HOMES ME! A fireplace!

HOMES ME!
I would love to be a little closer to my husbands work.

Home me! A large kitchen island with nothing on it!
Liz says
Homes me!!
A pool or room for one!
Valerie says
HOMES ME! I’d live MUCH closer to work, and I’d put a linen closet in my master bathroom. Oh and while we’re making wish lists, I’d get rid of 2 flights of stairs and live on a single level! :)
MichelleL says
Homes me! While it’s kind of fun to live on a hill, for our next house we’d like a flatter front yard and driveway- it is pretty tricky to mow and shovel!
Erin Macdonald says
Home me!!! We are in the process of buying land to build our first house, so I just want my house already :)
Madeline says
HOMES ME!
if i were to buy a house a “must have” would be to have paid down my student debt first. sigh.
Lindy says
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.
Susanne says
Homes Me! My next house should have the sound of waves coming from outside to lull me to sleep……
Ana says
HOMES ME!
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.
Ana says
HOMES ME!! A great kitchen… I just do not have the nerves for a full kitchen remodel. Admiring you guys… 2x over! :)
Carolyn says
HOMES ME! My must have would be about 400 SF more than we currently have. Maybe for a huge screened three-season porch!
Rebecca says
HOMES ME!
I would want more square footage.
Shalen says
Homes me! Bigger closets… With 2 kiddos I need more storage!
NT says
HOME ME! We would love one more bedroom (we only have one and the baby’s getting big!!!)
Kara Kieran says
HOMES ME!!
Number one would be lots of land!!
Rebekah says
Homes Me!! I would love a separate space for an office – not an enclosed room just a small space out of the main living room.
Jenn says
HOMES ME!
My must have is a second bathroom. We keep finding homes with only 1 bathroom — I just can’t! LOL I need more primping space :)
Jenny says
Homes me, please.
We would like to have two full baths for the growing fam.
Louisem says
“HOMES ME”
A MUDROOM…..between garage and kitchen ..big enough to also house dog crates and cleaning supplies etc…. lots of other things I want in a new house but this would be top priority.
Thanks for contest opportunity….happy holidays!
LiNdsay says
Homes me! A better neighborhood and more usable square footage!
Karena says
HOMES ME! I want more square footage with a true family room.
Robin Bugbee says
HOMES ME !
Please!
If I were to buy a new home now I would most definitely love to have a bigger backyard, maybe even a pool. I have a new granddaughter and would love to have a yard for her to play in and more room for my doggie to roam.
Brooke says
Homes me! Closing on our first house this week, we are excited to have a garbage disposal!
Julie says
HOMES ME!!!
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.
