Behind the Curtains of Celebrity Houses
by Lew Sichelman
Americans have always had a love affair with the macabre. Maybe it's a fascination with the grotesque. Or perhaps its simply that heinous events cast a spell over our natural curiosity. Or just maybe people are intrigued with all things celebrity, and just can't get enough of it. Through websites like HouseFront.com, a Denver-based real estate search and valuation firm, consumers can obtain free property information on any one of more than 100 million houses by simply text messaging the home's address, city and state to 46873, which spells "house." The same data -- number of bedrooms and baths, for example, and an estimated value -- is available by visiting the website directly. If you think this is silliness personified, think again. So many people want to look behind the curtains, so to speak, of the homes of the rich and famous that HouseFront is able to compile a monthly list of the ten most searched homes in America. In August, the homes of Michael Vick, Paris Hilton, David Hasselhoff and Drew Barrymore made the list. Here's HouseFront's Top 10 Most Searched Homes for the month of August. Enjoy!: Through HouseFront.com, consumers also can view maps and aerial photos of homes, get information on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and other details, including the home's sales history. In addition, users can view information on other homes by selecting HouseFront''s "Compare Similar Homes" feature. What's more, the "My Searches" feature lets consumers view details of the homes that have been queried previously, while "Compare Checked Homes" provides detailed, side-by-side comparisons. Fascinating! Utterly fascinating! Published: October 24, 2007 Use of this article without permission is a violation of federal copyright laws. |
