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 says
HOMES ME!
Top on my list for a new home are more than one bathroom, and more closet space.
Alex Pieschel says
HOMES ME! I would love a dining room for entertaining and as many build ins as possible!!
Kelly says
Homes me! We would love a yard for our dog to run around in – something we’re missing with our current apartment
Alice says
Homes Me! I would like a bigger family room.
Amanda says
Homes me! A second bathroom would be the top of my list, with another bedroom shortly after that.
Lauren says
HOMES ME!
good neighborhood, large deck, a covered front door step.
Leslie says
HOMES ME! I would want a better floor plan. Our current home has an awkward one. A double fireplace would be nice too.
KWright says
HOMES ME!
At the tip top of our list would be a bathroom on the main floor! That may sound like a simple enough request but apparently it wasn’t a big demand when our house was built a century ago. To a family with potty training kids, trust us, it is a big deal!
JMB says
“HOMES ME!!!!” We just bought and moved into out house 1.5 years ago and I love it, so can’t imagine buying another one, but since you asked….crazy as it sounds, one LESS bathroom would be great. We have 3 bedrooms and 3 baths…lots of toilet & shower cleaning!
Melanie says
HOMES ME!!
A must have in our next house is definitely more storage space! Love our little town house but we could use another closet or two :)
Jody says
Homes Me!
I would love to have a house in the country and huge barn for our horses that we currently board.
Elsa says
HOMES ME! More square footage and an additional bedroom. Our second bedroom is now a nursery and also a guest room whenever grandparents visit.
Debbie L. says
Homes me!!
If I were to buy again, I think I’d like one more full bathroom and slightly larger kids/guest rooms…or enough rooms to have bedrooms and a bonus room! But overall, super happy and content in the home I currently have!
Sarah says
Homes me, please!
A house with a garage for storage!
Jules says
Homes me!
Perfect home would be located closer to my sister and brother!
Courtney K. says
HOMES ME!
MUST HAVE- I want a library-floor to ceiling books- with a window seat that gets great sunlight and the shelves need to have one of those rolling ladders like Belle sings on in Beauty & the Beast. DREAM!
Sharon says
HOMES ME! I would love a sun room!
Macey says
HOMES ME
Elisabeth A. says
HOMES ME!
A dedicated play space for my son.
Macey says
A nice kitchen, with counter space
Sarah says
HOMES ME!
I would look for a backyard! Hard to find in a city!
Tina W. says
HOMES ME!
Jayme says
Homes Me! If I could name two must haves; a master bath (ours is the general bathroom and is hardly big enough to stand in!) and a bigger kitchen (again, hardly big enough to stand in and i love to cook!)
Pam M says
HOMES ME!
We are getting ready to start looking for another home. Looking to downsize but want a larger garage and nice kitchen. Have no desire for formal rooms.
Chrissy says
HOMES ME!
As a mom to seven active children, I have a long list of must-haves, but because of the stage we are in right now, my top wish list is an acre of flat grass for the many football, soccer, baseball, kick-the-can, Ghost in the Graveyard, games.
DDay says
HOMES! Mine would be a 3rd bedroom
Amanda says
Homes me!
D.B. says
HOMES ME!!!! Please! My must have would be a second bathroom!!
Abby says
HOMES ME! I think my top must have would be a large open kitchen/family room area that’s perfect for casual entertaining.
Mika says
HOMES ME! Winter approaching makes me really wish for a warm fireplace (and the mantle to decorate too!).
Megan says
HOMES ME! I’d want a house without a dining room. Our dining room should be called the storage room with a huge table taking up all the space, because that’s the way we’re using it.
Samm Spangler says
Homes me!! Probably more bedrooms… especially since I work from home!
Casee says
HOMES ME!
Although I love our 50s ranch style home, our next house we really want a nicer, bigger backyard AND larger closets!
Amber Yost says
HOMES ME!!
The right location is definitely a must-have for me and my husband. We currently live in the city and LOVE it! So somewhere that has a good public transport and easy commute.
Diana says
HOMES ME! An open kitchen/dining/family room layout
malibou says
HOMES ME!
I am quite happy with my little house, and have no plans to move. That said I seriously pine after a large laundry room. I would like room to fold clothes, have a sink, do some sewing and ironing, and even have room for some crafting and gift wrapping. Baugh.
kristin says
homes me!
i would look for a house with better yard than we currently have. landscaping has become my nightmare and would love to skip it next time…
Anne says
HOMES ME!
I would want a place with a patio or balcony – my current apartment has zero outdoor space!
L.Hudson says
HOMES ME!
My future place needs a garage… yup that’s a biggie.
EMILY says
Homes me!! More closet space, for sure.
Laura says
Homes me!
I’m sick of apartments; I really want a good backyard for frolicking around.
Mitch says
HOMES ME! Right now we’re renting an apartment, so I’m just looking forward to having more space and a place I can make my own changes to.
Ben says
Homes Me!
kim says
HOMES ME!
Tara says
HOMES ME! If I were to buy a house today it would have to have a large mudroom to accommodate the mess that two boys create when the get home from school!
Cori says
HOMES ME!
As someone who is in the market for a new home as we speak (type), my biggest must have is a place big enough to hold our family, which will Lord-willing be growing by two in the next year – one canine, one human.
Jen H. says
HOMES ME!
It’s tough to choose just one must-have feature, but definitely an awesome kitchen. Larger kids’ bedrooms and a finished, usable basement would be awesome too.
Kayla says
HOMES ME!
I would look for a bigger yard!
Trudi says
“HOMES ME!” on water and closer to our families
Ashley says
HOMES ME!
Just discovered a bunch of allergies in the fam. Wood floors would be on the list along with a bigger house!
