Trulia’s Metro Movers ReportWinter 2012

What Does The Metro Movers Report Tell Us?

Trulia’s Metro Movers Report is the first housing report that starts with where homebuyers and renters are today, and then provides the inside scoop on where they want to live tomorrow.

Defining A Metro’s Housing Demand As Strong Or Weak

3

Trulia defines a metropolitan area’s future housing demand as being strong or weak

based on the number of incoming property searches by out-of-towners at least 100 miles

away versus the number of outgoing property searches by locals to destinations at least

100 miles away.

Interpretation Key - # of Inbound Property Searches Per Outbound Search– > 1: Housing demand in this metro is strong with more searches by out-of-towners looking to

move in than by locals looking to leave. – <1: Housing demand in this metro is weak, where there are more searches by locals looking to

leave than by out-of-towners looking to move in.

– =1: Housing demand in this metro is neutral. There are an equal number of inbound and outbound

home searches

Sample Calculation for Gotham City– # of inbound property views by out-of-towners: 200– # of outbound property views by locals: 100– Gotham City’s demand index: 200/100 = 2– Interpretation: 2X as many people might want to move to Gotham City in the future than leave

House Hunters Near and Far Eye Florida Real Estate

• Even with a backlog of homes unable to complete the foreclosure process, big price declines mean more people are looking to move to Florida than leave.

– Of the top 10 metros where demand among online house hunters is strongest, 7 are located in the Sunshine state.

– One-third of all the home searches in Miami on Trulia.com originate from people living more than 500 miles away.

5

Who’s Searching in Florida?

• New York City is the top source of long distance (100 miles or more) home searches for properties along the Atlantic coast and Central Florida (e.g., Lakeland-Winter Haven, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach).

• More long distance searches for Gulf Coast homes (e.g., North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota and Cape Coral) come from Chicago than from anywhere else.

Methodology

Trulia’s Metro Movers Report is a forward-looking indicator of where people are today and where they want to live tomorrow that’s based on property searches on Trulia.com.

Trulia defines a metropolitan area’s future housing demand as being strong or weak based on the number of incoming property searches by out-of-towners versus the number of outgoing property searches by locals. After adjusting for total views and site coverage, almost 100 million property views were included in this study.

The Winter 2012 report examines all the property searches between metro areas at least 100 miles away from each other between October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011.

Sample Metro Movers Index Calculation for Gotham City– # of inbound property views by outsiders: 200– # of outbound property views by locals: 100– Gotham City’s demand index: 200/100 = 2– Interpretation: 2X as many people might want to move to Gotham City in the

future than leave
