*** 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.

Karen @sugarspicelivin says
Homes me. A fourth bedroom.
Jackie R. says
HOMES ME!
I love our current home and hope to stay there for many years; however, if I could change one thing it’d be to live in a housing development rather than a semi-busy street.
Megan says
HOMES ME! Definitely a second full bathroom.
Allison P says
HOMES ME!
At the top of my must-have list would be a light and airy master bedroom. The bedroom my husband and I share in our apartment now has NO WINDOWS– not even legally considered a bedroom! Ha.
Natalie Derrickson says
HOMES ME!
We just bought out second house last December but I’d say something I’d look for forever again is acreage! We have 3.56 next to a winery and it’s a dream! All we see when we look out our backyard is vines, trees, two red-topped barns and grass. Love it. It’s so peaceful and it makes me feel accomplished to own that dirt.
Jennifer Garcia says
HOMES ME!
I would want a large laundry room with a sink and an area to iron and fold clothes.
Lauren M. says
HOMES ME!
Top want in our next house- a basement or useable attic space.
Runners up- larger master closet and larger laundry room.
Jessica says
HOMES ME!
I love my house but I would certainly like a little more space!
haverwench says
Homes me! The one thing our current home is really lacking in is kitchen counter space. And there’s no good way to add more without remodeling the whole first floor. Argh.
Sonya says
HOMES ME! My commute is a perfect 1.5 mile bike ride, my square footage and garden are fine, but the one thing I would like is a front porch to sit on and watch the world go by.
Amy says
Homes me! My new house would have a bigger living room and more cupboard space in the kitchen (well a bigger kitchen overall).
Kelsey D. says
HOMES ME!
We just built our dream house with all of our must haves, but I’m dieing to really decorate!
Sara says
Homes me!! I would look for a bigger patio and backyard.
Maggie says
HOMES ME!
Hoping not to move again, but I would love to live on one level like you guys. Now that we have a kid I’m totally sick of stairs.
Julie Ann says
“HOMES ME!”
A master bedroom large enough to fit a king size bed. A queen bed is just too small for 2 tall people and a big, black lab/mix dog.
Sarah Gerke says
HOMES ME!
My husband and I just bought our first home in August and a must was a minimum of 3 bedrooms so now we each have our own office, one of which will hopefully soon be a nursery.
BeccaK says
HOMES ME! I’m all about a nice open kitchen and a yard that’s not-too-big, but still large enough to run around in!
Rebecca in WA says
HOMES ME! I love, love, love having a master bathroom! No kids allowed :)
Jen Lyons says
HOMES ME!
I love everything about our current home, except it’s location! I am not a suburbs gal, and I’d love to move back into the city if we bought a new house!
Alisa D says
HOMES ME! A home with solar power.
Stephanie says
HOMES ME!
My dream list would include a neighborhood close enough that I could walk to work, a backyard for the pooch and a garage. And a walk-in pantry would be a bonus.
Andrew R. says
Homes me! I would like a garage/ workshop area for my tools and drums.
Andrea says
Homes Me!
A pool, hot tub and hardwood floors would be fantastic :)
Jason says
Homes me!
Brian S. says
Homes me! I would love for our next home to be a ranch style, but our current house is just to cool to sell.
Patrick says
Homes Me! A garage.
Mary says
HOMES ME! A guest house and a more school friendly neighborhood!
Samantha says
HOMES ME!
I crave a room I can turn into my own personal library – complete with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and one of those rolling ladders! Currently my books don’t fit on the five bookshelves I have scattered throughout my abode.
Katie says
HOME ME! I would want a house with a beautiful kitchen and a backyard for a firepit!
carmen @ life blessons says
HOMES ME! It’d have to be near family!
Callie says
HOMES ME!
I would definitely look for a house with two FULL bathrooms. We renovated our only full bathroom in our current house shortly after moving in, and not having an extra shower in the house really limited how much work we could do on the bathroom without majorly disrupting our lives.
Holly says
Homes me!
Holly says
Homes me! Would love to refinish hardwood floors!
Leyna says
Homes me! Who WOULDN’T love a house completely devoid of any carpet that has been peed on by a previous owners’ dog? Who??
Holly says
Homes Me! I would be thrilled to win…Would love to replace floors jn our kitchen :)
Steph N says
HOMES ME! My non-negotiable is a tub; I couldn’t stand not being able to take baths.
Vanessa says
“HOMES ME!” My husband and I are actually planning on buying a house sometime next spring/early summer. On of our “must haves” is a bigger yard!! Bigger bathrooms would’t hurt either :)
Brittany Ferrans says
HOMES ME! The next house will have a bigger kitchen!
Robin says
HOMES ME please!!
I would have to have a house with tons of character that’s about 80-100 years old like our current house. It would have to have tons of charm and a great layout, but I could do the renovations myself :)
Spencer says
HOMES ME!
I definitely want an outdoor entertainment area complete with a manly grill!
Mary says
Holy cow guys! I nearly fell out my chair with excitement and squealed so loudly I startled everyone in my office. What a great Christmas surprise! I think we’ll be getting some new kitchen floors now. And maybe some cute new shoes too. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
YoungHouseLove says
