*** 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.

Sarah says
HOMES ME!
We just bought and love our new home, but I definitely have moments of wishing we had a fourth bedroom/flex space and dual sinks in our master bath.
Mandie says
HOMES ME! In our current house I really want to update our patio! If I were to buy a new house, I want more square footage and a master bathroom!
SMarie says
HOMES ME! I love our home and the area its located in, but i would love to live in more of a neighborhood instead of a busy street.
Emily says
HOMES ME!
If I were to buy a new house, my biggest must-have is location. I would want to be a few blocks eastward from what I am now so that I am zones to a better school.
meggan says
Homes Me! A little more space both inside and out for our three growing boys :)
Christie says
HOMES ME!
I would buy a home with more unique features.
Nicole says
Homes me! Give me a big modern kitchen open to the dining room. Yum.
Jenny says
HOMES ME! A linen closet
Vanessa says
HOMES ME!
I would definitely look for more square footage in the rooms that we use frequently. I would rather have less rooms and more space in those we use than a bunch of rooms we rarely go in.
Lauren says
HOMES ME!
I would look for a 3+ bedroom 2.5 baths home with a fenced in back yard for our dog (or at least one that has the option to add a fence), 2 parking spaces, lots of storage and natural light, a back deck or patio with room for a grill, and a good public school district in Baltimore County.

A second full bath would be my number one must have.
dhivya says
HOMES ME!
We are just starting our home search and what’s important to me is a nice spacious kitchen and some character in the home.
Stephanie says
HOMES ME!
If I could have anything in my next house, I would have a simply updated/renovated Kitchen along with a great yard that doesn’t have 3/4ths of an acre worth of trees (in the city mind you) with TONS of leaves I have to clean and relatively new energy efficient windows. Only those 3 SMALL things and I’d be great. :D
terri d. says
HOMES ME! I love my current home, since it is my first, but for the next one I would love a single family home with a huge wrap around porch.
Erin says
HOMES ME!
Playroom for the kids
Big backyard for the dogs
Great schools for the kids
Extra room to expand the family
Katie says
HOMES ME!!
I’d look for a house without a mysterious leak that I cannot locate a reasoning behind. Other than that, I’d change nothing at all :-)

Winter is almost here in Wisconsin. I want a garage!

We would love more YARD! Our house is on the market now so that we can purchase our dream. We’d love the new place to have a fabulous kitchen!
Kelly says
HOMES ME!!
At this point my must have to buy a new home today would be a price tag of FREE! Okay, but I give- a nice backyard. I do have one now, but that was a must for this house too!
Lindy says
HOMES ME! A garage!
Katherine says
Homes me!
I’d love a dining room separate from the kitchen, at least a little – feels funny to host a dinner party in view of the oven!
Sarah C. says
Homes Me!
I’d love to have a house with a library!
Becca says
HOMES ME!!
I’m actually in the process of buying my first house that was built in 1870! The biggest thing I can’t wait to enjoy is the fenced-in backyard. But the amazing wood floors, clawfoot tub, and all the rest of its charm make me swoon. This gift card would be awesome for a first time homebuyer!
margo says
homes me! I would need a house closer to work!
jennifer says
HOMES ME!
Tons of natural light and a second full bath are high on the would-love-it list.

We are currently looking for our next home and we need more space with hopefully a basement that the family can enjoy!

Somewhere with extra room for a baby!

Homes me! I would like a bigger kitchen and maybe a nice lap pool in the backyard…

Susie says
homes me!
A bigger yard and nothing that needs fixing!
Becky says
HOMES ME!
I love my house but after this weekend and dealing with the dead rodent (possum) I had… I’m considering a move to a townhouse or apartment! I’m kidding… kind of.
Beth says
Homes me! An open floor plan would certainly be higher on the list of wants.
Katherine says
HOMES ME! I would look for a home in a family-friendly neighborhood with lots of green space, an open floor plan, and lots of natural light.

HOMES ME! Would love a BIG backyard. With 3 boys – outdoor room to run is a necessity for the boys and for me!
Rachel says
HOMES ME! Location, location, location!
Ellen says
HOMES ME!
I’d want a second full bath.
norah says
Homes me! We are in the middle of looking for a new home- school district, # of bedrooms, and yard size are the top three priorities and the reason we are considering leaving our adorable tiny bungalow. :( and :) at the same time. I can’t believe I just used an emoticon.
Suni says
HOMES ME!!
I would love more square footage, and a master bathroom!!
Cortney says
HOMES ME!
We currently live in the city so if we moved, a yard would be a must!
Janet says
HOMES ME!
We currently have a teeny tiny house with a teeny tiny “master” bedroom so my new house will have a real master suite with closets and a bathroom.
Nikki says
HOMES ME! I would need a bathroom on the main floor!
Sara W. says
Homes Me!!! We just moved to a new house that I absolutely love but if I could have anything, I would love to be able to pick up our house and move it closer to the city and work. And new paint for the entire house :)
