We've just added a new feature, in partnership with Trulia.com: You can now find more than 22,000 local real estate listings on our site.
We like Trulia because they're like us: a sassy new kid on the block that's outperforming some of the old guys and doing it with a wealth of deep local data and cool features. Our CTO, Jeremy, even used Trulia during his recent home search and declared it the best of the real estate sites.
You can search more than 15,000 local listings from mansions to foreclosures; subscribe to your favorite searches by RSS; check recent sales for comps; study pricing heat maps; and find lots of interesting community data. And like us, they go as deep in the smaller suburbs as they do the big cities.
For great data and ease of use, I'll put it up against any other real estate guide in town.

I'm considering a house and Trulia has been used extensively in scouting things out. Absolutely love it.

One glitch I noticed on Trulia that carries over to PN, Miko:
Under Listing Type, if you deselect "All homes for sale" and include "Open Houses" in your search, the results only display open houses...nothing else. Say you chose Resale, New Homes and Open Houses - resale and new homes don't seem to populate, whereas they both do if you leave open houses out of the mix.
Thought you'd be interested. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong? Dunno.

I'll see if a Trulia person can answer better, but I think that Open Houses is a limiter, so that behavior would make sense to me.

Heather from Trulia here - thanks for the shout out. Much appreciated!
Scott - if you filter for open houses, then we only show you listings that have an open house time listed. Generally you'll see more of these populate on the weekend versus during the week. We are building up our open house coverage as we speak, so you should see more in the near future...
Hope this helps.

Ah.
Mayhaps note that Open Houses is a limiter while other selections aren't? I promptly stopped paying attention to it after the results I was looking for were hindered.

for some of the listings, you have to "log in" to see all of the photos. not cool.

Tracy, can you post a sample link where a page asks for registration?

on this one, click on the "see more photos and details" button, then in the new page, click on "extra photos" - it will ask you to register http://www.trulia.com/property/106451...

For details on listings, Trulia just links you to external realtors' web sites. Some will give you the info for free, some will ask you to register. Neither the Peggers nor the Truli-ers (?) can do anything about it.

Or care. Registering just to see pics of a place is pretty lame. Typically can google either street address or MLS # and find free pics, btw.

If they are mls listings, there are other sites where you can search/view pics without registering - for me it's all about getting to see what I want to see with the fewest clicks and no typing. So to that end, I'm not in agreement with that "outperforming some of the old guys" statement :-) although they do have some nice features. I'm not implying that Peg or Trulia should do anything, just commenting :-)

Copy & paste > filling out registration, imo.
Am I missing something or does Trulia not post MLS #'s for a reason?

Trulia is pretty nice but linking to external sites for details/photos is a hassle. I am a little biased but http://Ebby.com is still my favorite. The updated map search function is quite nice. And you get all MLS photos with no registration.

I'd say Trulia puts up a good effort, but their data is sometimes so sparse that there's no point in their graphs and "heat" maps. I'd say the Ebby map search probably is superior overall.
Just saying
