Trulia debuts iPad app

Real estate database Trulia.com has just launched its first iPad application, the site announced today on Twitter. The application allows users to search for homes for sale or rent and also displays recently purchased properties. It also plots listings on a map and shows the user’s proximity to them using a GPS program. The free application, which was released two days ago, according to the Apple website, also allows iPad users to save their favorite listings and search for homes that meet specific criteria, such as size, neighborhood and price. Trulia.com, however, is one of many real estate-centric sites to embrace the iPad. Another real estate listing site, Zillow.com, unveiled its iPad application a year ago, while Streetasy.com rolled out its iPhone-iPad compatible application last January. Trulia did not immediately respond to requests for comment. TRD
