Trulia

Trulia is a nationwide residential real estate search engine. Apart from a simple search for homes for sale in a particular city, zip code, or area, Trulia allows users to access local real estate data (sales prices, schools, most popular neighborhoods). They also feature a tool named HeatMaps that lets us compare prices popularity by neighborhood, city, county, or state. Lastly, Trulia users benefit from their own QA service Trulia Voice. The service allows members to post and answer questions about the qualitative aspects of neighborhood. The questions can be searched by geography and tag.

The site, which is advertiser supported, has excellent integration with Google maps and provides email and RSS notifications of new search results. Trulia has also released Trulia API and Trulia Widgets to help bloggers, real estate professionals, webmasters and Web site operators display local real estate data on their own sites.

Competitors include: Zillow, HotPads,Cyberhomes, Redfin, Terabitz, and Realtor.com.
