*** 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.

Alicia says
Homes Me!
I must have a mud room in my next house!
Ashley says
HOMES ME!
My must have is extra bedroom for a nursery! My husband and I want to start a family this coming year and we need more space!
Leila says
Homes me! I hope that my next home will have a bathtub!
kristin says
HOMES ME!! I would def need a soaking tub and a washer and dryer in the master bath… we have that now and I will never do laundry any other way!
Laura says
HOMES ME!
My next house will be is this same neighborhood, but perhaps with two bathrooms. One is a bit tough…
Ashley says
HOME ME!
I home in the middle of no where!!!! I want endless miles of trees!
Dana says
HOMES ME! I would look for a place with a master bathroom and a garage.. I’d even give up a little yard space for both of those things!
Annie says
HOMES ME!
I’d love a house with a master suite and a workout room!
Love you guys and thanks for the chance at this giveaway!
Lauren says
HOMES ME! My house would definitely have to have lots of big windows and good natural light!
Kelley Newman says
HOMES ME!
The list would be very long – more than one full bath, a larger master bedroom, lots of outside storage, a level yard, more square footage, 4+ bedrooms, historic charm.
But for now, I’m happy for what I have, which is a roof over my head that I’ve worked to make into a home that I love!
Alex says
Homes me!!
Our must haves list is long (we are currently scouring the web for a new home) but we have to have a large backyard. You cant change the size of a yard, but you can change inside features if they aren’t perfect.
Wendy in NE says
Homes me….
We’re moving out of state soon, and I’d love to have a whole separate building for my husband’s wood shop!
Dione says
HOMES ME!
It would be a stand alone house (currently in a townhouse & done sharing walls!) with a large yard & a pool.
meerasedai says
Homes me!
For my next house, I’ll settle for no unexpected home repairs within the first 2 years and a covered outdoor space in which to paint furniture (a garage, carport or shed would be nice!)
Annette says
HOMES ME! I just bought a new home so I have sooo much I would wanna do! But I think I would want to add a sun room!!
Alana says
HOMES ME! I would need an outdoor space for our dog!
Ashley Noel says
HOMES ME!
I would love to have a bigger kitchen with an actual pantry! We just use 1 cupboard space right now and it is cramped in our tiny kitchen! I love to entertain but need more space!
Casey says
HOMES ME! We love our current place, but if we were to buy a different house, I would love a spacious, open living area and more storage space.
Karen J says
HOMES ME!
I would have to have a decent sized eat in kitchen with a dishwasher and good closets.
Jen C. says
HOMES ME!
Next house must have a mud room!
Amy B. says
HOMES ME!
Easy! Great natural light, small-ish (1200 to 1500 sq ft), and some outdoor space for the kiddos and gardening.
Cathy says
Home me, my homies! ;)
If I were to buy a home it would first and foremost have to be in a good school district and a safe neighborhood. It would have to have at least three bedrooms and a big kitchen. It would have to be mostly move in ready as my husband is not a DIY guy at all!
Jacqueline says
HOMES ME!! Being close to work is definitely high on the list followed by the need to have a 2nd bathroom! We tend to have family visit a lot throughout the yr, so not having to share 1 bathroom with 5 other people would be REALLY nice!
Amelia Woodford says
HOMES ME!
a fixer-upper for us to make the house our own! :)
Rebecca says
HOMES ME! Since I just bought a house, it’s too soon to start thinking about the next one, but in this house hunt I was primarily concerned with location…and open floor plans! :)
Shauna says
HOMES ME!
If we were in the market for a new house I’d be looking for more square footage. I’d love a larger kitchen and more wall space for cute accent furniture and decorative wall hangings and pictures etc…
A girl can dream….
Jamie says
HOMES ME!
Well we just bought our first house, so we shouldn’t be wishing for something new already, but… we would definitely want another bedroom and second bathroom. Or if we could just get a little more closet space and two sinks in the bathroom, we’d be pretty happy.
Dana says
HOMES ME!
MUDROOM!! A place to take off shoes and keep that junk organized!
Sam Brown says
Homes me! A 2nd bathroom would be AMAZING!
Colleen says
Homes me!
It’s a toss-up between a third bathroom and a finished basement … or how about a third bathroom in the finished bathroom?
Thanks for the opportunity!
Maggie says
Homes Me!
I just bought a house in August! Top of my list was the neighborhood.
Leslie Ross says
homes me! My husband and I just bought a new house, and my one “must-have” that I compromised on was an honest-to-goodness laundry room. The other benefits of our current house more than make up for it, but oh my god, I would die for a utility/laundry room!
Noel L says
HOMES ME!
I would need more bathrooms! We currently only have 1 and with my husband and 2 step kids that isn’t enough! Can’t wait to start decorating a new house too! :)
Teresa says
HOMES ME!
I would love a normal sized, functional bathroom.
Venus Sanders says
HOMES ME!
I would love to have a laundry room.
Kristle Minichiello says
HOMES ME! I would want tile and hardwood floors ONLY! Carpet is the bane of my existence.
Jen W says
Homes me! I’d want a giant clawfoot tub.
Dylcia says
HOMES ME! Closing our new place in 1 week so we need lots and lots of stuff.
Trina says
HOMES ME!
Becca says
Homes Me!
This question is dear to my heart. We recently put our house on the market in order to buy my Grandparent’s farm, so acreage with the ability to raise more of our food is my priority.
Summer says
Homes Me! If I bought a new home today it would have to be a on a farm! :)
vanessa says
Homes me, please please!
Keith says
HOMES ME!
As a matter of fact we are building a home right now and if there is one thing I wish we were able to have would have been a bigger lot so we could have a bigger yard to play in.
Angela says
HOMES ME!
I’d have a full basement!
Emily B. says
HOMES ME (please)!
My do-over non negotiable would be a larger kitchen! Most of the time it’s fine, but during the holidays, it’s a TIGHT squeeze.
Lauren says
HOMES ME, please!
I want a back yard with a great patio and fire pit area. Pool would be nice, too :)
Randi L says
Homes me!
Maybe a new man cave would be nice, although, I know my wife would love a bigger kitchen too!
Carrie says
HOMES ME!
I would like a home period! But a wood burning stove or fireplace would be awesome for cold winter nights!
Jenny says
Homes me!
Brenna says
Homes me!
We actually just built a brand new home (moved in just two months ago!) And we’re so thrilled with it. However, there are a few things that we’d do differently in our next home, including bigger bathrooms, more outlets in hidden areas (bathroom vanities, pantry, coat closet, etc.), more outdoor taps, bigger backyard… Building is definitely a learning experience!
