It seems that most business are getting into the mobile application binge. And with a falling industry, perhaps this new app made for people searching for ideal property to invest in, may just be a positive direction towards reviving the faltering real estate sector.

HouseRebate.com breaks the ice, offering a new GPS home search app made for popular handsets known today such as the iPhone and the Blackberry. As far as San Diego is concerned, customers can locate homes in the San Diego area with one click of a button.

There are two ways to get this free app/service. One is to text “MAP” to 87778 into their phone to get this home buying tool or alternatively, visit HouseRebate.com. All collected personal information will be kept confidential.
