So to summarize this deal it seems (reading this thread) It is a skill based raffle (as there is no set criteria it sorta falls between game of skill and game of chance). If they get around or over 2666 applications = $399,000 (guess on what house is worth) then they will award the house to someone. If they don't get that then they just sell it the regular way. If they do sell regular way then you get your $150 back. If they award it then you lose your $150 unless you win the house, then well you are the winner.

Skill based gambling is exactly what this is. It's legal 36 states. Normally skill based gambling is restricted to two person/computer games where they basically solve a silly puzzle in fastest times. The OP has in essence designed a game that can massively scale up to millions of people without setting up time limits and that can reused over and over. This is genuinely impressive business model that we have seen in a while. However chances of this getting dragged in courts is higher but I'm doubtful if OP would lose in those battles.
