Eye Candy for House Hunters

Perhaps, in an effort to help make real estate search FUN, Trulia.com has alunched a new utility called Snapshot, powered by Microsoft Virtual Earth, that overlays housing data atop an interactive map that is nothing short of a visual treat.

The visual interface offers an alternative view of the homes currently listed for sale on trulia.com and allows users to customize the selected properties based on a price range or whether the listing is stale or fresh.

Users can search for any city in the USA & either click around the map, scroll the slider or just hit the big “play” button & sit back & just watch. Users can also click on a series of tabs to view “Most Expensive,” “Least Expensive,” “Newest” and “Oldest” properties. Scrolling the pointer over a property image displays the home’s address in large type and the amount of time that has passed since the property was listed.
