Trulia’s Metro Movers ReportFall 2011
What Does The Metro Movers Report Tell Us?
Trulia’s Metro Movers Report is the first report that starts with where homebuyers and renters are today, and then provides the inside scoop on where they want to live tomorrow and what it means for local housing demand.
2
What Is The Metro Movers Index?
3
The Metro Movers Index is the number of inbound property views by outsiders for each outbound property view by locals on Trulia.
Interpretation Key– Metro Mover Index > 1: more inbound than outbound searches– Metro Mover Index <1: more outbound than inbound searches– Metro Mover Index =1: equal number of inbound and outbound searches
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
National Housing Demand Trends

Falling Home Prices Draw House Hunters Away From Big Cities
Despite having more job opportunities, the higher cost of housing in big cities has made homes in nearby suburbs and neighboring smaller metros much more attractive to today’s homebuyers and renters.
• About 59% of properties viewed on Trulia.com are outside the house hunter’s current metropolitan area. – In fact, the top cross-metro searches are between neighboring metros (e.g.,
from Los Angeles to Riverside) – Still, 23% of all searches span more than 500 miles
• Of the cross-metro searches, 56% are for properties in metros with larger price declines during the housing bust and 63% are for properties in lower-density, more sprawling areas.

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. The Fall 2011 report examines all the property searches between July 1, 2011 and September 30, 2011.
Trulia defines a metropolitan area’s Metro Movers Index as the number of inbound property views by outsiders for each outbound property view by locals, based on almost 100 million monthly property views on Trulia.com, while adjusting for total views and site coverage. All U.S. metropolitan areas were included in this study.
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
