Is age nothing but a number?
This graph shows the percent of existing homes that were built in a given year in San Francisco (an old city), Houston (a new city) and Las Vegas (a very new city). It’s interesting to correlate the peaks and troughs with events like the San Francisco earthquake at the turn of the [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Is age nothing but a number?", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2006/11/06/is-age-nothing-but-a-number/" });

Wednesday, October 11, 2006
I came across this 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom listing the other day in San Diego, and was taken aback by the following description: “Seller will entertain offers between $5,050,000 and $5,999,876.” Why would any agent put in a range as broad as this? My first inclination is that a buyer would begin to offer at the lower [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Home on a Range", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2006/10/11/home-on-a-range/" });

Monday, October 2, 2006
I grew up in the Old World, where it’s not uncommon to run into 1000-year-old churches and 300-year-old farmhouses, and after my folks bought a turn-of-the-20th-century home with 2-foot-thick stone walls and giant staircases, I was bitten by the big-old-house bug. Then I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, which is crawling with gorgeous [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Oldies but goldies", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2006/10/02/oldies-but-goldies/" });

Last week, we asked several industry leaders & watchers to look into their crystal balls and predict the August 2006 home sales numbers that NAR was set to release this week. Well, the NAR report was released on Monday and it’s time to recap Power Panel performance and to give out some awards.

Wednesday, August 9, 2006
Rising gas prices can hit the wallets of commuters and homeowners quite hard. Since San Francisco is a popular commuting destination from suburbs in all directions, we decided to take a look at how the cost of commuting and the state of local housing markets can combine to make some places more favorable for [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "When does it pay to commute?", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2006/08/09/when-does-it-pay-to-commute/" });

One of Trulia’s goals is to provide the user with the best search experience possible. An important aspect of this search experience is the information that supplements our listings, such as data on school districts as well as local real estate market indicators. Our recently released advanced search functionality allows the user to search [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Quality Education on Sale", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2006/07/24/quality-education-on-sale/" });

Monday, July 17, 2006
For many months now, barber shops, grocery store checkout lines and internet blogs have been abuzz with animated discussions of real estate prices. Bears have been warning about an impending crash, while bulls keep crowing about how every day that passes piles on their equity. Being somewhat of a bear myself (and no economics expert), I [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Housing and bananas", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2006/07/17/housing-and-bananas/" });

Wednesday, July 12, 2006
Occasionally I will write about interesting homes I find while perusing Trulia. Since we just launched in Virginia last week I have been spending a lot of time looking at the various cities and neighborhoods there and came across this property which had the following photo: Now I think $459k seems reasonable for a 3 bedroom, [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Rainbow For Sale", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2006/07/12/rainbow-for-sale/" });

Monday, July 10, 2006
Remarkable as it sounds, this actually is a true story. Hard to believe, but Kyle MacDonald set out on a quest to start with a paperclip and barter his way until he was able to trade for a house. Apparently he began his quest by posting a listing on Craigslist in [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Buying a House for the Cost of a Paperclip", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2006/07/10/buying-a-house-for-the-cost-of-a-paperclip/" });
