We may not have a crystal ball to predict the future of the real estate market, but consumer trends and behavior clearly indicate that the future of real estate is mobile.

House hunters are increasingly turning to mobile devices to search for their next place to live – on Trulia we’ve seen mobile traffic grow by 250% in the past year alone and mobile now accounts for more than 30% of Trulia’s weekend search traffic as buyers drive through neighborhoods and visit open homes. What’s more is that buyers using mobile to search are serious and ready to engage with a real estate professional. Our research has shown that buyers searching for homes on mobile devices are 60% more likely to contact an agent than buyers who are searching on traditional devices.

Clearly, the expansion of the mobile consumer audience brings with it exciting new possibilities and prospects, and that’s why we’re delighted to unveil our newest product that will help you generate more exposure for your brand and provide more opportunities to connect with your most valuable clients: Trulia Mobile Ads!
