*** 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.

Lauren says
HOMES ME!
I would rather have something with a larger master bath and and a laundry inside the house vs. in the garage (because I always end up dropping some clean clothes on the floor when transfering from the washer to the dryer!)
jillian says
HOMES ME! I would love to have an updated kitchen.
Kim says

Homes me! I would have to have a huge master bathroom with a tub! My bathroom now is so little and crowded.
Melissa says
HOMES ME! An awesome kitchen, I love to cook/bake but our current kitchen is outdated and doesn’t flow well. Plus entertaining happens in the kitchen and I would want one that looks fabulous :)
Tara says
Homes me! I love the house we bought this year, but it would be even more perfect with a deck!
Sarah L says
HOMES ME! If I were to buy a home today, a must-have is a music room. My bf and I are both very musical and it’s important to us to have a space for that creativity to shine!
KatieJ says
HOMES ME! I would like a walk in closet that had a table for my jewelry….not Housewives closet size, just average would be acceptable. Until then I will try to stay organized:)
Belen says
HOMES ME!
An office for each of us, where we can work quietly without interruption (I work from home from the living room, and between the pets, the open kitchen and the nearby laundry room it’s hard to concentrate!)
Joanna says
Homes me! We just built a home with room to run a business and have a family of 6…. but all the white walls could really use some paint!

Homes me! Good location and close to hubby’s work are key.

homes me!
i wish I could take my current house and move it to a less-busy street with a bigger, more private yard! I wouldn’t mind a master suite, either (but those are hard to come by in my area)

Homes me. I’d get a house with a big ole front porch!

Jenny says
Homes Me! Would love a wrap around porch!
Jen says
HOMES ME!! Would definitely be a bigger garage or a fenced in yard for the doggies.

My must have was location and we got that.
If I did it again, I look for something with more storage space: basement, garage, outbuilding, etc.
Jeanette says
HOMES ME! We’re actually gearing up to build in the spring – my must haves list is long, but at the top is a covered front porch, character, and a soaker tub :-)
Casi says
HOMES ME!
If we were buying a home the number one priority would be moving into a new city, and then a yard for our dog Jake.

Homes Me! Please! We just bought a home a year ago, but if I could change one thing it would be the flooring… I am so over the carpet.
Cindy Jones says
HOMES ME! We need to buy a new house and at the top of the list is a big kitchen.
Tiffanie says
HOMES ME!! A fenced in yard for the dog is a must for our next house.
Skeeter says
“HOMES ME” If I was to buy a new home, I would def want a bigger kitchen, and perhaps a more open lay out from the living room to the kitchen. And while I’m dreaming, I’d also like a master bath big enough for a garden tub and a big two shower head shower. My husband would also require a two car garage while we are at it.
Jenna says
HOMES ME! I would love to have a bigger yard.

Love my house, but a giant bathtub would rock!
Kristi says
HOMES ME! I love my current home, but if I were to do it all over again, I would love a walk in closet, a master bath, and maybe a finished basement!
Nicole Charshaf says
HOMES ME!
I actually AM buying a new house today..well I am signing all the closing docs today at least :)
On our list were hardwoods, and a more central location that is closer to Portland and to my work.
Kay says
HOMES ME!! I’d love a home that has a little yard and is totally affordable and not too big so we don’t waste space.

Homes Me!
I must have a nice open kitchen!
