In the August edition of the Trulia Trends report (PDF), we discovered that high dollar home buyers in the major metro areas of the U.S. must have been on summer vacation in July because none of the top 10 most viewed homes were above the seven-figure price point.

Of the Top 10 most viewed homes, here are some highlights:

• The most expensive home in our Top 10 was this two-bedroom, two-bath home in the Inland Empire, listed at $849,00
• The least expensive was this three-bedroom, two-bath home on nearly an acre in North Carolina.
• Neighborhood amenities such as open space, trails, tot lots and dog parks likely drew Trulia users to seek out properties in the ‘burbs.

The most popular cities remained relatively unchanged with Chicago, Manhattan and San Francisco holding firm in the top three. Curiosity peaked with house hunters in the suburban markets, with new-kid-on-the-block Lake Mary replacing Jacksonville as the lone Floridian in the Top 10.

Austin, Texas - home to the infamous South by Southwest (SXSW) film, music and multimedia festival, nearly 200 live music venues and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and known as the Live Music Capital of the World - steals the show in this month’s spotlight.

Search activity in southwest Austin was as hot as the temperatures in July, with neighborhoods around notorious hot spots such as Sixth Street, the Warehouse District, Congress Ave., and Barton Springs among the most popular.
