And Now for Trulia
The folks at real estate search site Trulia saw my quotes and post about Zillow and pointed out:
We are excited to share that we now have over 1 million “homes for sale” listings available on Trulia, property data for 60mm+ homes, and over the past 6 months we’ve been the fastest growing online real estate site in the US

Very very competitive space. Trulia, which is a terrific site but doesn’t have as much brand awareness and traffic as Zillow, gets acquired before Zillow because it has less hefty VC investment and thus will be cheaper.
