*** 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.

Jennifer Madigan says
Homes Me!! We just moved across the country to follow a dream. We decided to rent while we get used to the area and figure out where we want to live. One thing that I have learned is that I will ALWAYS want a screened in patio or something like that. I’m able to let the kids go outside and not worry that they are escaping or getting into things that they shouldn’t. I’m loving our new area.
Lydia says
Homes me!
If I were to move right now, my new home would need a darkroom. Final answer.

Added bonuses: fireplace, character, two car garage, modern finishes in the kitchen, and a hot tub haha!

What a toss up – I would love a bigger kitchen. But having just a small yard so I could have a dog would be fantastic too.

HOMES ME!
I love my current house, but the layout of the kitchen is terrible. I wouldn’t mind changing that.
