*** 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!
If I were to buy a new house today then I would want one with a MAN CAVE!!
Stacy L. says
HOMES ME!
I love our recently purchased house, but it would be nice to have a master bath. Those just don’t come in old farmhouses!
Andrea says
HOMES ME!
We’d like an older home that has been well-cared for that we can update and call our own. Right now we’re living in an apartment.
Jessica says
HOMES ME!
We just moved into our house in July, and are falling in love with it more every day!
Arnice says
Homes Me!!! While I can’t think of anything for a next house, there are projects such as finishing our basement or landscaping the backyard that I would love to have done in my current house.
Sara says
HOMES ME! We are in love with our current home — imperfections and all!
Cassandra Marquette says
HOMES ME!
On my wish list is a home with two living rooms.
julie says
“HOMES ME!”
Our new house is everything that we want, but I would love a less busy street to put it on.
Pam says
Homes Me!!!
I would just be thankful to own a home that hubby and I could make our own…apartment living isn’t too fun! :)
Kelly says
HOMES ME!
I would love to have a master suite.
Samantha Severson says
Home ME!
I need a walk in shower, and a hot tub. And lots of windows. Let there be light!
Lindsey says
Larger bathrooms and closets, more natural light, higher ceilings. I don’t know that I would get all of those, but I would prioritize them higher the next go around!
jessi says
HOMES ME!! Gotta have a backyard with plenty of sunlight so I can garden, and an extra room to serve as my husband’s photography studio.
Maggie says
HOMES ME! If i could buy a home right now i would just want it to be a beautiful place that feels like home.
Marisa says
HOMES ME!
I just bought my house this year, and it’s pretty perfect for me. But the bathroom is on the small side – it’d be nice to have a bit more space and better storage.
kyle says
“HOMES ME!”
We’re actually house hunting right now. On our list: a big-ish relatively flat back yard, a fireplace, a floor plan that we can work with, at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Virginia says
Homes me!
I love our home so much, I’m not at all ready to move — but if we had to go house shopping, I’d basically be looking for everything we have, plus one more bedroom and a water view.
Erin says
Homes me, Holmes! I need a two-car garage like it’s nobody’s business. My little 1-car just isn’t enough.
Kristen says
HOMES ME!
A defined entryway! In my house now, you walk right into the living room & the door is too close to the built in bookshelves and fireplace to create a real entryway space so shoes, coats, etc. are all out in the open- bane of my existence!
Heather V says
Homes me!
Alex B says
HOMES ME!
If I were to do it over again I would really like access from the house to the backyard so my dog can come and go as she pleases. This would be so helpful!
Keena Z. says
HOMES ME! I am currently under contract on a home in Richmond and after looking at 20 plus homes, neighborhood and general layout won! So excited to be a home owner :)
Ashley@AttemptsAtDomestication says
HOMES ME!!
I think I’d want a little bit more square footage, I just want/need a small office downstairs for the hubs and I instead of a bedroom we’ll have to give up for kiddos one day.
Jennifer T. says
Homes Me!
We just bought a house last year and the only thing I would change would be to add another bathroom!
Katie says
HOMES ME! A huge backyard for my kids to play in!!!
Monique says
Homes me! PLEASE!!!!
Tracy B says
Homes me! Must have a nice kitchen & open concept!
Travis says
HOMES ME! I would definitely need an on suite bathroom in my master bedroom. Having to go down a flight of stairs to the main floor bathroom in my current home is the pits!
Shaundra Coleman says
HOMES ME! I would love it if my next house must have would be a fenced in backyard.
Tammy says
Homes Me! If I bought a home today, it would def need more square footage, real closets and a new’ish’ roof. :)
Lindsay says
HOMES ME! I’m currently renting and dream of the house we hope to buy in the spring … fenced backyard with enough space to host some bbqs in the summer would be great!
Rosemary says
Homes me! If I bought a house today, there’s no way it would be in my current neighborhood (midtown NYC) because I can’t even dream that big. It would be somewhere in downtown Charlottesville, near my family… with a deluxe kitchen and a magical self-maintaining yard.
Sarah says
HOMES ME!
I would love a larger, more open kitchen with lots of counter space!
Megan says
“HOMES ME!”
I’d get a house with a remodeled kitchen.
Carla says
Homes Me! If I were to buy a new house, I’d want the bathroom to be bigger. A pedestal sink in the only bathroom to save space is not acceptable! And more outlets! I want there to be plug-ins everywhere!!
Ghenet says
HOMES ME!
My dream home would have hardwood floors and a fireplace.
Amanda S. says
HOMES ME!
Square footage and location are a big deal for me!

HOMES ME!
My ideal home would have an extra room so I could have an office seperate from my guest room!
Madeline K. says
HOMES ME!
I’ve always wanted an attached garage, or at least the space to add one on in the future.
Cassie Fryfogle says
HOMES ME!
My dream house would have a huge backyard!
Maggie says
HOMES ME!
Considering I don’t have a house now, I’d love to HAVE a house to begin with. Something smallish, with another bedroom (meaning 2), and a backyard so I could get a dog and let it run around outside. :)
Callin T says
HOMES ME!
I would love a nice open concept living space & lots of character.
Kristy says
Homes Me!
I would look for a place with a high walkability score –
can I walk to restaurants,grocery, etc. or will I have to
use my car all the time?
Aron says
Homes Me Please!! If I were to build today my new house would have a more open concept!
erin says
HOMES ME!
i just want a condo on the top floor (we have obnoxious neighbors), with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a good sized balcony and I’m all good! (so just one extra bedroom than what we have now!)
Bethany says
HOMES ME!
I would love a home with a bigger, private lot.
Anna says
Homes me! We just recently bought a new home that met most of our wants and needs- but I would LOVE a large mud room for the 5, 4, 2 year old and german shepherd. sigh. One day!
