Back in September 2007, HouseFront announced an initiative to become the real estate industries first moon property search and valuation tool, changing our name to MoonFront (name change still pending). We also announced a competition that is set to run through 2025, where the first person to search a property on the moon by texting any address to ‘HOUSE' or 46873 would garner top prizes (HouseFront changes name to MoonFront).

We placed such a long shelf life on our competition because until recently there was no cell phone signal that reached the moon. Well, we hear that NASA has officially announced their intention to build MoonLite; a link between astronauts at the lunar base station and Earth. The system will have the blazing fast speeds of 3Kbps download and 2Kbps upload; making it possible for astronauts to check the value of their lunar base station on HouseFront via text message.

NASA plans to have the system up and running by 2012, in light of this news HouseFront has decided to move up the MoonFront competition to 2013 as surely someone will have won the competition by then. Good luck everyone.

HouseFront is a real estate search and house value tool, providing real estate professionals and buyers and sellers with valuable information on over 100 million properties via HouseFront.com and by text messaging any address to ‘HOUSE’ or 46873.
