Megan over at Trulia alerted me today to two new products they’ve released - Local Heatmaps, just what it describes, and Trulia Trends, a PDF showing the latest pricing trends for MLS listings, year-over-year as of Jan 07.

The new heatmap charts are fantastic and definitely deserve to be blogrolled. I especially like that for the week ending Jan 3rd, Lane County is the most popular location for home searches on Trulia.

As I’ve mentioned before, I especially like the neighborhood growth data by week. This can give buyers or sellers useful information. Especially if a neighborhood appreciates at double-digit rates for longer than 6-9 months, and continues that trend with the latest weekly data. Or in the case of buyers, if the latest weekly data shows a significant decline in price.
