Trulia Trends Report: October
In the October edition of the Trulia Trends report (PDF), we find that the Top 10 hottest cities was relatively unchanged over the previous month. Chicago, Manhattan and Brooklyn retained their positions as the top three most searched cities; Los Angeles slipped past Philadelphia to round out the top five and San Francisco held firm at number six. Austin and Queens stayed put at numbers eight and ten, and San Jose beat out Jacksonville for the number nine spot.
In September, the “Typical American Viewed Property” was a three-bedroom, two-bathroom single-family home with 1,890 square feet, listed at $310,000.
However, many of the homes on the top 10 list of “most viewed homes” were well below that price point. In fact, none of the homes on the list were priced over $1M. Here’s what we found:
 |
The most expensive home to make our list was a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-story home listed at $940,000 in Campbell, California. This home comes with an attached two-car garage, formal living and dining rooms and a large yard. |
 |
A log cabin in Somerville, Texas was one of the less-expensive homes to make the top 10 list. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is within two minutes of Lake Somerville, has a covered front and back porch and is priced at only $45,000. |
 |
Golf afficionados will love the two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in The Villages, Florida. Situated near the Orange Blossom Hills Country Club, this home comes turn-key with a golf cart included for only $119,000! |
 |
One of the more expensive homes to make our list was the six-bedroom, five-bath two-story home in Detroit, Michigan. This home, built in 1913, has all the original hardware, an updated kitchen and a large sunroom and is priced at $229,000. |
With a World Series in its future, there’s no doubt the Mile High City is riding high, so this month we are focusing our Trulia Spotlight on Denver. Of the most popular Denver neighborhoods Lower Downtown (LoDo), recently named as one of CNN Money’s “Best Places to Retire”, did not make the list, but reportedly haunted Cheesman Park, once an Arapaho Indian burial ground before being granted to the city of Denver for use as the city cemetery, made the list at number eight.
