What is Trulia?

Trulia is a real estate search engine that helps you find homes for
sale and provides real estate information at the local level to help
you make better decisions in the process.

They aim to be a delightfully smart partner when you are looking to buy a
home. The smart part should help you find your dream home (or at least
the dream home within your budget) and arm you with data and
information about local real estate (without too much work). The
delightful part should make you smile and keep you coming back.

Whether
you are moving down the street or clear across the country, they’re here
to help you understand real estate trends at the local level. When you
are about to make the biggest financial decision of your life, They help
you understand how your future home stacks up compared to similar homes
on the market, and similar homes that have recently sold. They show you
how sales prices have been trending where it matters–in your county,
city, ZIP code and neighborhood.

They’re data hounds but they
don’t expect you to be. Their crack team of engineers and analysts are
focused on building tools–like our Heat Maps and real estate guides–to help you understand and interpret the real estate information. Real estate search just got much smarter.

Trulia, as of late, has also become one of the top 10 visited real estate websites in the United States, and has recently surpassed Zillow in unique visits.

HERE’S THE QUESTION - WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN FOR YOU??

1. Wider Distribution of my listings. Trulia does not get a feed from our local MLS. They do, however, get an XML feed from my website that posts all of my featured listings on their site.

2. Local Housing Statistics. With our MLS, we can only provide statistics for homes that are listed therein. With Trulia, they have access to a good number of for sale by owner statistics, thereby giving another view of statistics to the market. Check out the statistics for Madison and Huntsville on my homepage to see what I mean!
