*** 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.

HOMES ME! Sidewalks are a must – we have to be able to walk our dogs safely. :)

Homes me!
More closets. I love our old house but the lack of storage is pretty tough.
Katy Hinsdale says
HOMES ME!
I would need to have white interior trim! That’s what I’ll be doing next in our house–painting the trim white!
Shannon says
HOMES ME! We’re saving for our next place and at least three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are a must on our list.
Cat Dobson says
HOMES ME!
I love our house, but definitely something with hardwood next time (or hopefully we can put hardwood in this house!). Our builder grade carpets are SO grody after only one and a half years!

Holmes Me!

HOMES ME!! (please)
I would want: to be in an area for excellent schools, more Sq/ft for family growth, and a big ol’ backyard:)
Kristie says
HOMES ME! My next house must, must, must have a mud room. Definitely need a spot, other than smack inside the back door, for dealing with my Pups shenanigans. Leashing, unleashing, drying them off, etc.
kaycee says
HOMES ME!
If I were to buy a house today, I would like it to have a fenced in yard.
Shanna says
HOMES ME! I think we would like to retain what we have as far as character, proximity to work, and yard space, but we would like to gain an extra bathroom and closet space and possibly an extra room.
Stacy says
HOMES ME!!
How I wish I were buying a new home today… A better school district would be at the top of the list!
Erin says
Homes Me!
I love our house so much that I can’t imagine finding a place I’d rather live. So in order to leave our place, a new house would have to have beach frontage on Lake Michigan and a huge yard to garden in.
Lindsey says
HOMES ME !
If I were getting a new home , a beautiful master bath would be at the top of my list , so I could enjoy my bubble baths in style :)
Lindsay says
HOMES ME!!
I would love a basement or attic for extra storage. Our ranch is great… but with a growing family, space is limited!

Homes Me!I NEED a pantry! I am so tired of storing all my groceries in cabinets in my kitchen.

Homes me!
My dream home is an apartment in midtown Manhattan. No big deal ;-)

Homes me! I’d love a well-laid out kitchen attached to a family room.

More natural light! We’re in NYC so I get it…but I can’t even have plants!!
Kathy Z says
HOMES ME!!
If we were buying a new house, I would want a bigger backyard. :)
Cindy O. says
HOMES ME! I’d look for one more bathroom (two is not quite enough…)
Adrienne says
HOMES ME! I am house hunting now and most already have this, but my current one does not…a dishwasher. It really is a must. I love to cook, but no dishwasher sure puts a damper on the finishing.
Jill says
HOMES ME…
Any home we have has to have a fenced in yard for our 2 children, I mean goldren retrievers :)
Ellen D. says
Homes me please!
Lets see a must have…. Lots of natural sunlight and walking distance to something ( park, coffee, beach, library…just something)
Pam T says
Homes me!
I would want a bigger backyard
Kara says
HOMES ME! My one must have would be a one story house with the same square footage we have now.

Homes Me! I would love a bigger kitchen…if there are 2 people in our current kitchen, it is 1 too many.

HOMES ME! My must haves would be a white kitchen and a walk in closet!

Homes ME! A backyard for the kids to run around would be an absolute must!
Abby says
Homes me!
Martha says
homes me! We just bought out house 6 months ago, so the only thing I’d want besides what we have now is more closet space!
jillian says
Homes Me! My next home must have more square footage and a smaller yard (I know, crazy right!?)
Jennifer says
HOMES ME! I would love a home with a basement. I have growing children (teen and tween) and would love to have a place where they could hang out with their friends.
Lindsay says
Homes me! It would be really nice to have a garage to park the car and for woodworking projects
Nicole says
Homes Me!
All I really want in a new home is adequate closet space! As much as I love keeping my boots in the kitchen and my boyfriend’s pants in the linen cabinet, it would be so so nice to have a little more room for storage…
Alison says
HOMES ME!
We just moved in to our new house actually, and the one thing that was our “must have” was a great basement to finish!
Dee in BC says
Our home is new -just over 1 yr old. If I could could change anything it would be to make the (tiny 8 x 10′) den more “family room” sized 12’x 15’maybe & change the laminate put in by the builder for hardwood – the laminate colour is pretty – but it shows every footprint.
Danielle H says
HOMES ME!! If I were looking to buy a new house today I would want a much bigger kitchen area to store all of my kitchen gadgets and dishes! We recently got married and had to seriously purge some of our stuff to make way for kitchen wedding gifts!
NancyH71 says
HOMES ME! I would want a bathroom in every bedroom.
Kelli W. says
HOMES ME!
For my next home, a must-have is a big, open kitchen. Right now my kitchen is tiny and cramped.
Dara Jarvis says
HOMES ME!!! Hardwood floors
rachel says
HOMES ME!
My must have in a house is a great kitchen! We love cooking with each other and a small kitchen drives me nuts!
Amelia says
“HOMES ME!”
