*** 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.

Lisa says
HOMES ME!!
I would settle for a closet in the bedroom, unlike what we currently have in our 100+ year old house :)
Christina says
HOMES ME! I would want a big, fenced in yard. Lots of closet space. And lastly, more space! We’ve already grown out of our current house.
Amara says
HOMES ME!!!
A few acres…for sure! AND..5 bedrooms, large kitchen/living space, wood floors AND a covered lanai. :)
Kim says
Homes Me!
At the top of the list for the next place is more windows! We live in a row home, and so we only get a small amount of light through the very front and very back of our long and narrow place.
Stephanie C. says
HOMES ME!
We’re tight on space in our current house, so I would definitely like more square footage and a bigger kitchen.
CJ says
Homes Me!
Alexis F. says
Homes Me! I would love a house with a backyard and a workshop!
spiffi says
HOMES ME!
My next house will have a kitchen with an island in it – my current house, the kitchen is just too dang small to do that!
Angela says
HOMES ME! Definitely a mudroom…sooo wish I had one.
Valerie says
HOMES ME!! I am a city dweller so would love a rooftop!!
Kerry says
Homes me! I’d love a fenced in yard.
Allison C. says
Homes me!
If we were to get a new house a sunroom would be a must. I am also enchanted with the attic bedrooms I am finding on pinterest. Love your blog! Thanks. =0)
Melanie says
HOMES ME!
Pam says
HOMES ME! I love my kitchen in house #3 for us. It would take something awewome to surpass it.
deena says
HOMES ME!
a wrap-around porch with a view of the grand tetons. thanks.
Eliza says
HOMES ME!
The must have on my list if I were to buy a new house now would be a flat, grassy yard. When hubby and I bought our house 7 years ago, we had no kids and loved the “idea” of our wooded, hilly backyard. Now that we have two boys who love to run, it limits their play and frustrates me to no end, as pretty as it is. Live and learn!
Beth Z. says
Homes me! Love our current house, but we could use another bedroom and a rec room, separate from our playroom.
Ellen Kaak says
HOMES ME! …. I would want a pool that opens up into the house. My kiddo is at the age where he would love having friends over for pool dates.
Michelle says
Homes me! An outdoor entertaining area.
Alicen says
HOMES ME! I’d like some sort of self-cleaning system…
Teresa says
Homes Me! I NEED a family room for my 4 grandchildren.
Shanny says
HOMES ME!
I would just love to own my home at this point! Being married to the military has us constantly moving and boy, settling down sounds good to me!
Jak says
HOMES ME!
No wallpaper to peel would be great.
stephen k says
HOMES ME!
I want to get our dining room chairs! we just moved into our first apartment and we have had to start from scratch
Steve says
HOME ME!
I would love to have a big yard for a dog to run free in.
Kelli LEwia says
Homes Me! A better school district and kitchen!
Allison says
Homes me!!!
I want a bigger closet. Like a 500 sq foot closet with a window seat. That’s all I need!
Christine C says
My number one is a huge backyard for our two dogs! :)Homes me!
Annette says
“Homes Me!”…don’t laugh…minimum 8 foot ceilings. I live in a 650 sq ft (2 bedrooms!) house with 7 1/2 ft ceilings.
Michelle says
HOMES ME! My must have in my next house is a laundry room on the same floor as the bedrooms. First house was in the basement, current house is on the first floor… one more floor to go!
Julie B says
HOMES ME!!
liz says
HOMES ME! We’re in the process of buying a new house. Our must haves were good neighborhood, big enough, heat pump/forced air heat & cooling and a decent lot size. Everything else in our soon-to-be (hasn’t been touched since 1973) home can be changed!
Kim says
Homes me!
My must have? CLOSETS! We need storage space so desperately, it trumps our need for a second bathroom. My family of four, one of which is a teenage girl, shares ONE closet. (Yes, three quarters of it is her clothes and the rest of us share the remaining quarter!)
Veronica B says
HOMES ME!
Definitely more square footage!
Holly says
HOMES ME!! Since we recently moved from a 2500sf house to a 1300sf house (in order to save faster to build!) I’d say more square footage is #1 on my list!
Kris F. says
HOMES ME!! I would love to have an en suite bathroom.
Steve House says
HOMES ME!
I would want a dedicated office space, just one bedroom too short in our current home!
Sarah says
HOMES ME! A must would be an acreage outside of town on pavement… hardwood floors and some character would certainly seal the deal!:)
Ruth says
Homes me! I live in an apartment, so my greatest desires are for a garage and wash machine and dryer. A yard for a dog would be awesome, too.
Christie B says
HOMES ME! I would love a brightly lit studio space!
Jennifer says
HOMES ME! I would love a guest bedroom.
Kimberly Adams says
HOMES ME!
A wrap around porch is a must. I love ours and don’t want to live without it.
Cindy says
Homes Me!
We ARE looking… I want a HUGE bath tub, great closets, a place for my husband to have an in-home studio (he’s a muscian), and a convenient laundry room (ours is currently in the garage… not great).
Katie Tidd says
HOMES ME!
I would need a house with a flat driveway
Kristin says
Homes Me!
If we could finish our basement it would open up our space so much and turn this house we love into our perfect space!
Shawna says
HOMES ME!
I would really care about having anything extra, just having my first house would be amazing! But a pool would be pretty awesome =]
Susan says
HOMES ME!
I’d want a big open kitchen. We’re just not renovators!
Alison says
Homes me! I could use more square footage, specifically in the living room and kitchen!
Janie says
HOMES ME!
We could definitely use a bigger master bedroom with an attached bath and walk-in closet! It would also be nice to have a bigger back yard for gardening!
Ashley says
HOMES ME! I would love a bigger yard for the littles!
