*** 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.

Oh my gosh. Without a doubt, I would love to have a larger kitchen. One where I can embrace having my kids in the kitchen helping me, instead of out current state, where I’m always kicking them out of the kitchen!

In new place I would want a backyard. Doesn’t have to be huge, but big enough that I could have a deck :)
Ally says
HOMES ME!
Although I am in love with our current house, I’ve always wanted a formal dining room. We love to entertain and I would love a moody room to wine and dine our family and friends in.

A working fireplace, definitely. Though anything would be an upgrade from constantly renting in nyc!
Ashley says
Homes Me! We are going to close in 2 weeks on a house with our dream back yard…and ugly decor inside! We can’t wait to improve it and turn the master 1/2 bath into a 3/4 or full. (Seriously– who only puts a sink and toilet in a master bath?! haha)
Jen says
HOMES ME! I’d look for a house with a shop…for my husband!
Andi says
Homes me!
Tara R says
Homes me please :). If I could have anything in a new house it would be a mud room separate from the front entrance. It would be lovely to have a front hall that isn’t always jammed with back packs, boots and coats!!

If I were to buy a house today, the most important things to me are the expensive stuff, like the kitchen (cabinets, counter top, appliances, etc) and the bathroom.

I would love an awesome garden tub large enough for me (and the hubs:) to soak comfortably.

HOMES ME!! We are in the process of having a house built…so I feel like I’m already getting everything I want in a house. But what I do need is stuff for in the house. Our current couch is mauve colored!

A double vanitiy in the master bathroom :)

I would have an outdoor room, like a huge screened porch with attached patio and outdoor FP. I actually have given a lot of thought to this, and it’s on my to-do list hopefully in a couple years!

Homes me! I’d love a house with more square footage and a huge deck!!
Aimee says
HOMES ME!
We would need 4 bdr, a kitchen sick that gets hot water faster than 4 minutes, a range hood that vents outside (not just 6″ higher into the same room), a bigger yard, and a 3-car garage. Is that too much to ask for? :)
Michelle W. says
HOMES ME!! My next house must have a laundry room! I’m slowly dying without one. :-(
Kristen Swift says
HOMES ME!
If money was no object, I’d want to buy a place closer to my job. Right now I commute about 30-60 minutes into DC. If I was paying for the house myself, I’d want a fireplace, an extra bedroom for an office, and a storage room :)
Chelsea Jo says
Homes me! A must-have for me would be a nice big, fenced-in yard (preferably a 6 footer) for my dogs. They just love to escape.
