Trulia adds foreclosure listings
Today, through a partnership with RealtyTrac, we are announcing the addition of foreclosure properties to our inventory of more than 2 million searchable home listings on Trulia.com. Consumers will now be able to find information on approximately 400,000 foreclosure properties across the country and in their local markets. This is an important milestone in our goal of delivering a great real estate search experience.
When searching for a property on Trulia, consumers now have access to foreclosure listings in addition to resale and new construction. We have added a new search filter on our results page, where house hunters can filter by listing type (resale, new homes and foreclosure) and property type to narrow their results. With this powerful filtering consumers can really search and find a multitude of properties that match their search criteria.
Along with providing property information on foreclosures, we are also providing tools that allow consumers to compare foreclosure properties to the local real estate market. Each property detail page includes information like approximate note balance on a Notice of Default home, how the sales price of a Real Estate Owned home measures against listed homes on the local market, as well as a quick-reference pop up of foreclosure types to educate as well as inform potential buyers. To view full information for each foreclosure property, consumers can register with RealtyTrac for a 7-day free trial subscription before signing up for a monthly subscription.
See examples:
Foreclosures in Las Vegas , Foreclosures in Stockton and Foreclosures in Detroit
We know that numbers and transactions are only part of the story. At Trulia, we recognize that the foreclosure process is often a complex and emotional one for both buyers and sellers, and should not be taken lightly. Make sure you are fully informed and do your research. We have already seen that Trulia Voices is a great platform for consumers to talk to local professionals and other homeowners, buyers and sellers about the foreclosure process, including ways to potentially avoid foreclosure, or what to do if you rent a home that is in foreclosure. Go ahead and ask a question. With this launch, Trulia now offers consumers a way to search and find foreclosure properties while utilizing the Trulia Voices community to find answers to their foreclosure questions.

[…] As a side note, I’ve always thought that this approach to getting listings for a real estate tech start-up makes the most sense… and I remember suggesting to Sami that Trulia should take this approach as oppose to going broker-by-broker at our coffee session in Seattle a few years ago. (I don’t care much for the CPC monetization strategy, but in terms of getting listings, it seems like a no-brainer to give a little bit to a local brokers in each market to get their listings.). However, I can’t blame Sami for not wanting to go down this route since the various MLS’ would have put so many restrictions around what Trulia could do that they’d never been able to release some of the things that they’ve done (like mixing MLS listings with foreclosure listings and opening up an API into their listing information).
