Earlier this year on Trulia Insights, we learned that house hunters aren’t searching for their dream home at all hours of the day – instead they concentrate most of their efforts during work hours (guess Facebook isn’t the only distraction that employers need to watch out for). And now that 2011 is coming to a close, we thought it would be fun to take a look and see where most of this window shopping activity in 2011.
Drum roll, please…..and here are the top house hunter cities of 2011…along with an example of what you can get for the average listing price in that city!
