Where people are looking for homes
In August 2006, real estate search site Trulia had 609,000 visitors. Five years later, there were 27 million. Trulia’s most recent visualization shows this growth (bottom bar graph) and where people are searching for homes (map). Press play and watch it go. It’s pretty much population density, but for me, the method is more interesting than the material in this case.
When Are Prospective Online Buyers Looking at Homes for Sale?
House Hunting All Day, Every Day is a relatively simple dashboard that reveals when, in terms of weekday and time, most prospective house buyers are looking at homes for sale (on the Trulia website, that is).
Time it takes for house prices to drop
Shopping for a house? Sometimes it can be advantageous to wait a while, and the price of the house you’ve had your eye on might drop. It’s all about getting the most for your money, right? The Trulia Price Reductions Map can help with that. It shows the average number of days until house prices tend to drop for the first.
Yellow areas on average stay the same price for 120 days or more. Blue areas change after about 30 days. You can also view average percent reduction and the probability of a second reduction.
