Take a look at http://www.housingrobots.com In additional to what Trulia is providing, they have a couple of unique features that I can't find in similar sites. 1) "SCHOOL-FIRST" search where buyer can have an overview of top school districts and start from there. 2) "PRICE-HISTORY" tracking, so you see all the price changes of the houses. 3) "SURROUNDING" info. They provide surrounding schools, restaurants, church and bank info for their listed house. Very handy. 4) Their Google Map integration is very well done. All the nearby cities will be updated when you move around. Unlike Trulia which give an approximation at high zoom level, their housing information is accurate at all zoom level. 5) I also like their Google Earth integration Take a look to see if you like it.
