*** 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.

anita says
HOMES ME! The must haves would be a beautiful piece of land with mature trees and an increase in number of bedrooms and bathrooms(by 1 or 2). Thanks so much for the chance to win! :)
Mary says
HOMES ME!!!!!
I would be looking for a house with at least 3 bedrooms, close to my son’s school, with a yard for him to play in, and a fireplace!
Megan says
HOMES ME!
While we love our one story layout, we really would love a basement hang out area.
Ariel says
Homes me! I’d love a big fenced in yard so I could finally get a puppy (living on the 30th floor of a highrise = way too many trips up and down to have a dog!)
Sara says
Homes me please! We just bought our first home, and our big project is a fenced-in backyard!

Christina says
HOMES ME!
A large-ish backyard with a deck (or room for us to build a deck, a fireplace with a mantle (one of my favorite parts of a home, a decent front porch (with room for rocking chairs) and hardwood floors, would be a must!
Megan says
HOMES ME!
I’d really like a natural fireplace, and also for my home to be on Kauai, if that’s not too much to ask for :)
Barbara says
Homes me!
I would love a fireplace
jessica says
HOMES ME!
And definitely, DEFINITELY, a master bedroom on the other side of the house from the other bedrooms. Right now our daughter’s nursery shares the wall with our master bath and we’re afraid to shower or flush during nap time because she’s such a light sleeper. The fact that our guest bath is on the other side of her room makes it interesting. (Don’t most moms find nap time the best time to shower??)
Lauren says
Homes me

Devin says
Homes ME!

HOMES ME! A library complete with a window seat that can be napped in.

“HOMES ME!”
I’d love an open floor plan! I love to cook and always feel like there is a “wall” (pun intended) between us when I’m in the kitchen and others are in the living room. Togetherness is what I want for Christmas! :-)

HOMES ME!
I would look for a house that’s closer to a school and maybe one with a bigger master bedroom and closet. :)
Annie says

I need a house with enough room for my antique piano that is currently being stored at my mother’s. Also, you can never go wrong with more kitchen counter space!

It would have to have more rooms for foster or adopted kids and maybe a bit more garage space for kid stuff..

In my next house we must have a great kitchen/living room for friends and family to spread out and gather and play.
Emily says

Mandi Wolters says
HOMES ME! My next non-negotiable will be a second bathroom!
paula says
HOMES ME!
Some outdoor space is mandatory – something to putter around with plans and sit and enjoy the view. Oh yes, a view is mandatory too. I can change things inside, but where the house is can’t be changed.
Martha says
HOMES ME!
I would love a screened porch and a bigger master bathroom; nothing extravagant, but bigger than 5 x 7.
Christy says
HOMES ME!
I love the yard in my current home, so that could not change. My only other must have would be walk in closets. We have clothes in 3 rooms due to tiny closets. haha!
Courtney says
HOMES ME!
I would want hardwood throughout. The place we just moved into has original hardwood floors on the main floor, but the top floor is an addition and it’s carpet. Ugh.
Anya says
Homes me!
A privacy fence is what I’d like right now!
Jonelle says
HOMES ME!!!

HOMES ME! Where should I start on my list? More square footage, a screened in porch, bigger yard, finished basement…I could go on and on!
Abby says
HOMES ME!
I’m dying for a 1.5 story house…I would go crazy with a loft/library area. I think they are so beautiful!
April says
HOMES ME!
Definately more square footage :)

“HOMES ME!” The only thing I really want in this world is to live in a house with more than 1 bathroom!
