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 ME!!
Our next house must have a big backyard for the pups to play in…and a mud room to clean them up after they’ve been playing in the yard :)
Lisa says
HOMES ME!!! My must have would be a home that was closer to shopping and farther away from my neighbors, so we could have a little privacy. We are only about 9-10 feet away from one neighbor!
Nicole says
HOMES ME! If I were to buy a new house today it would have to be a much bigger home (more rooms and square footage…) as well as a big backyard! I live in a two bedroom condo and I’m ready for some space!
Angela says
Homes me!
We live in a condo with two big dogs. Next up a backyard, closer to work, with a pool!

“HOMES ME!” and I would want the space to build a BANGIN’ mudroom. My kingdom for funky coathooks, benches with chalkboard front bins, a fabulous light fixture and room for my four children to all take off their shoes at once instead of three waiting out in the cold while the first one enters our TEENY TINY entryway and kicks a shoe off. Ah, sweet dreams…..
Nicole says
Well, since we just bought our home, I’ll name a few things that were on my list and now have. Angled ceilings upstairs, big yard with privacy front and back, tree-lined street, and enough bedrooms bathrooms that can eventually fit kids AND guests.
