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.
