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.

jodi kozloff says

Homes Me! 2 bathrooms would be a must!
Kayla H says
Homes me! I just bought my first house 6 months ago and if I were to do it all over again I would want a bigger kitchen with more cabinets. I love to cook and bake!

HOMES ME! I love our home now, we built three years ago. The only thing I’d love to change is the mortgage payment :) and add a fence.
Kelly says
HOMES ME!
I would love a laundry room!!!
Erica says
Homes me!
If I were to buy a house right now, I wouldn’t mind the specifics. Just having a home would be great considering my family and I are living in a family member’s living room since I lost my job and our home!
Erica says
Homes me! If I were to buy a house right now I wouldn’t care about the specifics; just having a home would be great as right now my family is living in my mother’s living room since I lost my job and then lost our home.
rajee says
HOMES ME!
I am def looking for big kitchen, big living room and big master bedroom, with one storey house that has big pavement for kids to play outside instead of lawn. Is it available in Texas? We could not find it :( Need your help

Homes me! We’d love a second full bath.
Sarah says
HOMES ME!
We don’t own our first home yet, but if I could dream big, we would have an awesome location and room to grow square footage-wise. That’s hard to choose, though!
Holli C says
Homes Me!
Lindsey says
HOMES ME!!!! My must have is a farmhouse with a big front porch…nothing else really matters!
Ann M says
HOMES ME! I love my rowhome but typical of the period there is NO bathroom on the main level. I end up running (…I mean, walking) up or down the stairs to the other floors. My next home will not require this to save my knees. :)
Kelly says
HOMES ME! Would love more square footage since I have four kids, homeschool, and work from home.
Rachel says
Homes me!! In our next house we will definitely need more storage… some sort of garage, basement or shed. The hubs & I are too crafty and handy to not have a space to store all this equipment!
Adecia says
A bigger laundry room!
Danette S says
HOMES ME! My next house needs a flat backyard for playing and a shower bigger than a phone booth.
Meghan says
Homes me! My must have would be a larger kitchen!
Marie Holmes says
Homes Me! I love my house; but I do wish my master bath were just a little bit bigger.
Sarah @SarahsBigIdea says
HOMES ME! Believe it or not, I’d look for a smaller house than the one we’re in (less to clean and cheaper to heat in the winter). And a bigger yard for the dogs to run in!
Holly S says
HOMES ME!
Laurie says
homes me, please!
Eligonma says
HOMES ME!
My new home would HAVE to have at least two bathrooms.
Jan says
Homes me. A house with no stairs on the first floor.
Susan @ Sweet Little Nest says
HOMES ME!
If we bought a new house today, I would require a proper foyer – one where the front door doesn’t open right into the stairs to the second floor. It’s a terrible way to greet guests. Also, a family room or den. Everything else is pretty perfect after our recent renovation.
Sharon S says
“HOMES ME”
Top of list in a new home purchase would be an ensuite. We currently have a large home but it’s missing the ensuite….would be so nice to have.
Richard says
HOMES ME!
I would love a house with a totally state-of-the-art electrical system.
Lauren La Vay says
HOMES ME!
stuck in the city for now so i’d eventually love a house with a big back yard…and windows, lots of windows to let in all of that beautiful natural light.
Ashley says
HOMES ME!
We had a great opportunity to build our home last spring, so I was able to get almost everything I wanted. :) BUT — it would have been nice to be able to afford a bathroom/bedroom combo on the 1st floor in case house guests were unable to get to the 2nd floor.
Jenny says
Homes me! I like our house, but if we ever buy a new one, I would make sure all the bedrooms are on the same floor.
Amy says
HOMES ME!!!
All I want is a washing machine and dryer. I know I know, kind of lame – but 4 years living in an apartment building where the laundry room is in another building, makes me eager for my own washer and dryer. The simple things :)
Laura says
HOMES ME!
WOuld be a bigger yard and more square footage.
Hilda says
Homes me!
I would look for a large with kitchen with plenty of counter space.
Julie P says
Homes me! A music studio to give private lessons out of.
Patti says
Homes Me! More kitchen counter space!
Jessica says
HOMES ME!
Split floor plan!
tammy says
HOMES ME!
#1 requirement for homes now: a window over the kitchen sink that overlooks the backyard. Anyone who has had one and a few kids will completely understand. ;)
lrlockwood says
“HOMES ME!”

Staci says
