*** 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.

Tracey says
HOMES ME!
My next house will need to have a walk-in closet and full bath connected to the master bedroom. Dreams!
Hillary says
HOMES ME!!!
We first, owning our own home would be awesome. We’re currently renting which works great for us right now. But when buying our first house, we’d probably look for a home that was close to a good school (future babes), jobs and Target. The closest Target, TJ Maxx, Mall is an hour away. Yeahhhhh… haha
Julie says
HOMES ME!
Our current home has no dining space. I don’t want a formal dining room, but a place to put a table would be nice!
Kelly says
HOMES ME!
Closer to work – yes! I drive 94 miles round trip now. Thanks! :)
Jordan says
HOMES ME!!
A laundry room on the first or second floor:)
Thais says
“HOMES ME!”
I live in a condo now so a nice backyard would be amazing!
Kristin says
Homes Me! I would like a two stall attached garage!
Lindsay says
Homes me I’d be looking for a sunroom!
Katie Nelson says
Homes Me!
Must have is a yard that I can breathe in.
robin says
HOMES ME!
We are slowly putting touches on a home we bought in April, which we love, but there are a LOT of brass fixtures we’d like to upgrade.
Tara says
Homes me!
Location for sure. We live near the ocean and wouldn’t want to move far-
Kellly says
HOMES ME!
I would need a second bathroom and bigger closets!!
michelle p says
HOMES ME!!! A pantry…must have a pantry!
Krys says
HOMES ME!
I would choose a home with a better kitchen layout. Mine is very cramped, despite having good square footage.
Andrea says
HOMES ME! we’re looking for an extra room and more “flow.” Current home is all broken up into small, semi-usable living spaces; we’ve opened what we can but it’d be great to have more of it.
Andy says
HOMES ME!
A man cave!
Daryl R says
HOMES ME!
We bought our home 3.5 years ago and are still in love with it. If I had to add something it would be a front porch. It was the only thing on our wish list we didn’t get.
Laura P says
HOMES ME! If I could buy a new house I would definitely make sure it had a nice big pantry. My current home has no pantry and I’m so tired of jamming food into every crevice of my kitchen.
Amanda says
Homes Me! Please. :)
On a practical note, I’d want to be in a good school distract so my husband and I could start a family. Of course, if everything else was ideal, I would love a window seat. I know that it’s something I could make, but I love the look of a built-in bench nestled into its own little alcove, completely surrounded by windows, preferably covered in gauzy white curtains.
Ashley R says
Homes Me!
I would NEED a three stall garage, my hubby needs a workspace!
Justynn Y says
HOMES ME!!! Please?
I have a nice (2) BEDROOM condo right now, but would love to get a place with a yard in the near future….
sheneversleeps says
HOMES ME!
I’d have a house with a huge pantry and laundry room.
Kelly Rychetsly says
HOMES ME!! I would give anything for a house with a huge kitchen pantry!
kelly lanley says
HOMES ME! Our perfect abode would come complete with 10 acres and lots of horse fencing!
Rachel says
HOMES ME! I would wish for another bathroom.
JennyA says
HOMES ME! I would love a small second bathroom — maybe just a half-bath — so that guests don’t have to use MY bathroom. Although, knowing it’s going to be seen does help me keep in organized… Hmmm… Ok, a fireplace!
Nicole @ Liberty Belles says
homes me! I have this thing about fireplaces…I don’t think I’d ever like a house without one.
Carla Mahnke says
HOMES ME!
A bigger shower in the master bathroom! Ours is so tiny, it sure would be nice to have a little more leg and elbow room.
Emily says
HOMES ME!
I would want a lot more land – like 20 acres. And, a lot more square footage :-)
Shawn says
HOMES ME!
A bigger kitchen!
Nicole says
HOMES ME!!!!
And a big priority would be to have a great place to entertain. We currently live in less than 600 SQ Ft and it would be so nice to have over more than a friend or two for a great time.
nick says
homes me!
i would def look for a garage.
Rena says
HOMES ME!
If I was to buy a new house today, it would have to have a bigger yard, and instead of a street or more homes behind my house, it would have to be the mountains and woods. It would be perfect! (:
Marianne kasch says
Homes me! I’d want a bathtub. Only have a shower now and it’s getting annoying with a toddler…
Beth B. says
HOMES ME!! It would have to have a fenced-in backyard. Oh and a big closet in all bedrooms, not just the master.
Francine says
Homes Me!
Jen Bishop says
HOMES ME! An attached garage. We have long cold winters and this would definitely be a treat!
Monica says
HOMES ME!!! I would want one more bedroom, for an office/guest room!
Melissa G. says
HOMES ME!!! PLEASE :)
If we were to buy a new house today, just doing so would change our lives. We are so tired of renting and being in a cramped drafty house. So top of our list would be a well insulated house with a large open floor plan and a big backyard.
Wendy says
HOMES ME
In our next home, I would love to have a powder room on the first floor! And a lap pool would be wonderful too. :-)
Erika DeWitt says
HOMES ME! I don’t need much, but wouldn’t it be fabulous to have instant organization in a new home? A specific place for everything – yes, I’d like that…
Lynn P says
HOMES ME! I’d like to live closer to my family…that would take a job change too….but since we’re wishing, what the heck!
Rena Marie says
HOMES ME!
If I was to buy a new house today, it would have to have a bigger yard, and instead of a street or more homes behind my house, it would have to be the mountains and woods. It would be perfect! (: (posted with correct address)
Carrie says
HOMES ME!!! A third car garage, so I have a real place to work on all my projects…:)
Karen says
Homes me! More square footage and bedrooms.
Mary says
Homes Me!
I would love a house closer to where I work. Right now I’m driving about 45 minutes both ways- gross! But the neighborhood I work in is sketchy, so really, I should have a new job, right? I we didn’t chang ethe neighborhood we lived in, I would love to add vaulted ceilings to my living room to add some additional natural light.
Mellisa says
HOMES ME!
If we were buying a new house, we’d look for a level lot. Our home is on a slope, which makes for a wonderful view of the mountains but a very unusable half acre of land.
Shana says
HOMES ME!!!
I want a modern kitchen! Scratch that, I just want a dishwasher! Since having my baby, my dishwasher (me) has gotten quite cranky!
Sherry in BC says
Wow….what a great prize. I live in a 100 year old Craftsman house which I totally love but if I were to build from scratch, I would like to have a big roomy master ensuite bath complete with walk in closets. Closets are kinda skimpy in old houses.
Sherry in BC says
oops….forgot the Homes Me! for my comment in my excitement….does that still count?
