House hunting? Then you’re probably scouting for listings around various real estate sites. And in your exhaustive searches for a colonial or a rustic flat or any number of other options, you may have happened upon Trulia. Not a bad place to look. Extensive offerings. Nice feature set. And as of today, a complementary StreetView map integration, courtesy of Google. In a partnership made official this week, Trulia users can not only parse address numbers and neighborhood data and the like, they can also take a little virtual stroll around the block thanks to those snazzy camera vans roaming around the nation and snapping pics at ground level.
Of course, this visual novelty for Trulia users is only available where those vehicles commissioned for the StreetView project have roamed thus far, but hey, at least there’s something to dabble in, right? Pete Flint, Trulia’s CEO says that listings in 30 US cities are currently offered with a side dish of SteetView, and more material is to be added in real-time as it is captured.
