Helping consumers regain confidence

Anyone who watches the news or reads the paper (there are still a few who do that, I think) knows that we are in a "buyer's market."  What does that really mean?  It means that there is an increased number of homes for sale from which buyers may choose.  It means buyers can be choosy and dictate how the market moves and behaves.  It means that buyers are in a position to have a lot of control, which for a buyer, is a really good thing.

Are you using Trulia?

In the world of real estate, there are myriad websites and services that claim to have the ear of every consumer in the world.  I too am a consumer and know that they all don't have me.  What about you? Do you routinely use real estate sites?  For searching when you're contemplating making a move, or to learn about the economy, for information about your neighborhood and property values, for homeowner tips and help?

Trulia is one site that is becoming increasingly more well-known not only amongst real estate professionals, but consumers as well.  Have you ever visited or used it?  So far, I am liking what I'm seeing.  But, since the purpose of our website is to provide our clients with a meaningful place to go online for information, I'd really love to know your thoughts.  Also, while we're at it, Dottie & I would like to hear what you'd like to see on our site, what can we improve or add for you?  

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
