Inman News sits at the top of Trulia's neighbor set at 0.98 — and the two peaks in this audience's shape aren't consumer home-search platforms and real estate brokerages, but rather real estate industry media and the professional infrastructure around it.
The shape is two-peak. The first cluster is tightly real-estate-professional: Inman News (0.98), HousingWire (0.97), the National Association of Realtors (0.96), REALTOR Magazine (0.96), and Coldwell Banker (0.96) form a dense band of news publishers, professional groups, and real estate brands. Zillow (0.97) is the one fellow Technology-subcategory entity in the top 10, and Realtor.com (0.93) rounds out the core. The second, lower peak pulls toward finance: Freddie Mac (0.92) and WSJ Mansion (0.91) anchor a secondary cluster of mortgage-market and financial-news audiences. CENTURY 21 (0.94) sits between the two peaks as a Real Estate brand with scores consistent with both clusters.
What's notable is the professional-media weight at the top. Four of the ten neighbors are News Publishers or Magazines covering the real estate industry — not consumer-facing portals. The audience Trulia shares most closely is one that reads trade coverage and follows industry organizations, not just one that browses listings.
This two-peak structure — trade media and professional real estate on one side, mortgage finance on the other — suggests Trulia's audience skews toward people embedded in the real estate ecosystem rather than casual home shoppers.
