Hard to believe that just three years ago we launched Trulia’s national real estate search.  By the close of 2008, Trulia had become a top 5 real estate site (via Comscore) with more than 42 million unique users during the year - a 140% increase from 2007.

We’re super proud of that growth but we definitely didn’t achieve it alone - our users are a major part of our success.  Word of mouth is one of biggest drivers of traffic to our site.  If Trulia users didn’t recommend the site to others, realizing 140% year-over-year growth would have been a much bigger challenge.  Your feedback has also helped to improve the quality of our site: product suggestions, reports of bugs and listing corrections - and of course the great success stories of how Trulia has helped buyers and sellers find the right real estate agent and family home.

And we have a separate thank you for the Trulia Voices Community.  With your help, Trulia Voices has become the most robust real estate community platform.  The quality contributions and quick responses from real estate professionals and consumers has made Trulia Voices the go-to spot for real estate questions on the Web.  The information being shared in Q&A and blogs is remarkable, and we couldn’t be more thankful of our growing community.

Here’s a look at some of the other things you’ve helped us accomplish in 2008:

• People’s Choice Webby Award in the real estate category
• PC Magazine’s Top 100 Classic Websites
• #1 Real Estate Lead Generator
• 125,000 downloads of Trulia iPhone app
• More than 100 Trulia Publisher Platform installations
• Launch and growth of Trulia blogs
