Metropolitan areas that have experienced heavy price declines are among the most popular among visitors to real estate search site Trulia, according to a new report launched by the company today. Trulia intends the report to be a forward-looking indicator of future housing demand.
Trulia's Metro Movers Report is based on the ratio of inbound property searches from nonresidents of a metro compared to outbound searches from locals. The report examined searches on Trulia.com between July 1 and Sept. 30, 2011, in nearly 100 U.S. metro areas with at least 250,000 occupied housing units.
The report found that more than half of properties viewed on Trulia, 59 percent, were outside of a searcher's current metro area, most often in a neighboring metro area. Slightly less than a quarter of searches, 23 percent, were for properties more than 500 miles away.
More than half (56 percent) of property searches outside a house hunter's current metro area were in areas that have experienced larger price declines during the downturn, and 63 percent were for properties in lower-density metros, the report said.
"Despite having more employment opportunities, the higher cost of housing in big cities has made homes in nearby suburbs and neighboring smaller metros much more attractive to today's homebuyers and renters," Trulia said.
All of the 10 most popular metros have experienced double-digit price declines from peak to trough, with seven out of 10 experiencing declines approaching 50 percent or more, according to figures from the Federal Housing Finance Agency cited by Trulia.
Half of the 10 metros are in Florida, two are in Southern California, and one is in Nevada — specifically the Las Vegas metro area.
Eight out of 10 metros had median list prices of less than $150,000 as of Nov. 15, with the exceptions of both California markets.
"Since the housing bubble burst, home prices in cities throughout Florida, Nevada and inland California have fallen by half or more. A glut of vacant homes — a result of overbuilding during the boom years and high foreclosure rates during the bust — has made homeownership very affordable in these areas, which has become more of a draw than a deterrent to prospective movers.
"We believe this future demand will lift some of the hardest-hit housing markets back toward growth," said Jed Kolko, Trulia's chief economist, in a statement.
The North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota, Fla., metro area had the highest Metro Movers Index ratio among all metros, with six times more inbound searches than outbound searches.
The Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., area had about four times more inbound searches than outbound searches, while the other eight metros on the list had about two times more.
Methodology: Trulia defines a metropolitan area's Metro Movers Index as the number of inbound property views by outsiders for each outbound property view by locals, based on almost 100 million monthly property views on Trulia.com, while adjusting for total views and site coverage.
Median list price is based on all active, nonforeclosure listings on Trulia as of Nov. 15, 2011. The price drop from peak to trough is sourced from the Federal Housing Finance Agency. It is the percentage change between the peak level during the boom and the lowest level since the boom, both of which vary by metro. –Source: Trulia.

Leeds Carnegie centre Tincknell, 22, was honoured by the Rugby Players' Association when he received the Blyth Spirit Award in London on Wednesday night.
The award is a special presentation from RPA members for outstanding courage in the face of adversity.
Tincknell was taken to hospital by air ambulance and spent three weeks in a drug-induced coma following the accident, which happened three months ago.
"I can't remember anything of the accident," he said. "All I remember is getting up in the morning and getting into my car.
"I can't thank everyone enough - I really can't believe how much everyone cared. I am not sure why I'm getting the award, I think I should be giving it to everyone else for looking after me.
"Jonny Wilkinson sent me a letter. I couldn't believe it - it was so kind of him. He was my idol growing up, so it meant so much."
Leeds Carnegie physiotherapist Charlie Steggles will now have a major role in Tincknell's recovery, and she said: "We are taking our time and building things up slowly.
"We're being practical about what he's got to get back to, but it's nothing too strenuous at this stage.
"He's just generally getting stronger, so he is able to lift a little bit more weight, do slightly more complex movements and just relearning some of the more complex lifts.
"He is doing really really well. He keeps surprising us. Every time I write a programme I have to go and rewrite it again that night, so he's pushing us pretty hard, which is brilliant."

- Referees will be at each table. The Ref will designate the end of the table and the player position that will start the race -- this will player #1. The teams can arrange their player positions at the table in any order prior to the start of a Match. Positions remain the same throughout the match, but the order of play shifts. For the second game of a match, player #2 is the new starter, followed by #3, then #4, #5, and finally #1. The sequence for the third game is 3-4-5-1-2, and subsequent games continue shifting sequence.
- All games will begin with a Gentlemen's Start: Each team's starting player holds their cup aloft at the Ref's signal, when both teams are ready. Each starter will then tap their cup on the table, tap their cup to the cup of the opposing starter, and then tap the table once again . When the cups touch the table for the second time, the race has begun.
- Once the race begins, the first player must drink their beer fully, place their cup mouth-up on the edge of the table, and use their hand to flip their cup over so that it lands mouth-down.
- Once the cup has landed and settled mouth down, the next team member drinks their beer and attempts to flip their cup. All members of the team MUST wait to grab their cup and flip until the previous team member has successfully flipped their cup. If the Ref determines a player touched their cup too soon, there will be a 5-second penalty hold.
- The race will continue until the fifth and final cup has been drunk and flipped. The winning team is the first to have their final cup land mouth-down AND settle on the table.
- In the event that the last 2 cups land and settle at the same time, the game will be considered a TIE. See TIEBREAKER rules below.

Timothy Kurek's motivation to spend a year pretending to be gay can be boiled down to a simple conviction: it takes drastic change to alter deeply held religious beliefs.
The experiment began after a lesbian friend opened up to Kurek about being excommunicated by her family. All Kurek, an avowed evangelical Christian, could think about, he says, "was trying to convert her."
He was quickly disgusted by his own feelings, more pious than humane.
In fact, Kurek was so disgusted by his response to his friend that he decided to do something drastic. Living in Nashville, Tennessee, he would pretend to be gay for a year. The experiment began on the first day of 2009; Kurek came out to his family, got a job as a barista at a gay café and enlisted the help of a friend to act as his boyfriend in public.
The experience -- which stopped short of Kurek getting physically intimate with other men - is documented in Kurek's recent book "The Cross in the Closet," which has received international attention, landed him on ABC's "The View" and elicited some biting criticism.
The book is the latest entry on a growing list of experiential tomes revolving around religion. They include Rachel Held Evans' recent "A Year of Biblical Womanhood," in which the author follows the Bible's instructions on women's behavior and Ed Dobson's "The Year of Living Like Jesus," which had the author "eat as Jesus ate. Pray as Jesus prayed. Observe the Sabbath as Jesus observed."
For Kurek, his year as a gay man radically changed his view of faith and religion, while also teaching him "what it meant to be a second-class citizen in this country."
A yearlong lie
For years, Kurek says, the only life he had was "his church life." Being an evangelical Christian was his identity.
He was home-schooled until seventh grade, almost all of his friends were from church and his social life was a nightly string of faith-based events, from church sports to a Christian Cub Scout troop. "It was the only thing I was used to doing," said Kurek, who attended Liberty University, the largest evangelical university in the world, before dropping out after freshman year.

Growth and Development, Ages 11 to 14 Years
How do children grow and develop between ages 11 and 14?
The ages 11 through 14 years are often referred to as early adolescence. These years are an exciting time of many varied and rapid changes. Your child grows taller and stronger and also starts to feel and think in more mature ways. You may feel amazed as you watch your child begin to turn into an adult. But this can be a confusing time for both kids and parents. Both must get used to the new person the child is becoming.
From ages 11 through 14, a child develops in four main areas:
- Physical development. Adolescence is a time of change throughout the body. A Reference growth spurt Opens New Window usually occurs near the time of Reference puberty Opens New Window. Girls begin to develop breasts and start their periods. Boys grow facial hair. Both boys and girls grow pubic hair. Boys may lag behind girls in height during these years, but they usually end up taller.
- Cognitive development. This is how the brain develops the abilities to think, learn, reason, and remember. Kids this age typically focus on the present, but they are starting to understand that what they do now can have long-term effects. They are also beginning to see that issues are not just clear-cut and that information can be interpreted in different ways.
- Emotional and social development. As they start to move from childhood into adulthood, adolescents feel the urge to be more independent from their families. Often, friends replace parents as a source of advice. When at home, adolescents may prefer spending time alone to being part of the family. Still, family support is important to help them build a strong sense of self.
- Sensory and motor development. Kids this age may be a little awkward or clumsy. Their brains need time to adjust to longer limbs and bigger bodies. Getting regular moderate exercise can improve coordination and help your child build healthy habits.
When are routine medical visits needed?
Yearly doctor visits are important to detect problems and to make sure your adolescent is growing and developing as expected. During these visits, the doctor will do a physical exam and give your child any needed Reference shots Opens New Window. The doctor will also ask questions about your child's friends, school, and activities to see how he or she is doing.
It is a good idea to give an adolescent some time alone with the doctor. This gives your child a chance to ask questions that he or she may not feel comfortable asking you.
Adolescents should also have yearly dental checkups to make sure their teeth are strong and healthy.
When should you call your doctor?
Call your doctor anytime you have a concern about your child's physical or emotional health, such as:
- A delay in growth or sexual development—for example, if puberty has not begun by age 14.
- A big change in appetite or weight.
- Body image problems, such as a girl believing she is overweight when she is actually very thin. This can be a sign of an Reference eating disorder Opens New Window.
- Signs of mental health issues, including Reference depression Opens New Window, mood swings, fighting, missing school, or failing classes.
- Drug, alcohol, or tobacco use.
A call or visit to your child's doctor can help you keep a healthy outlook and know how to recognize a true problem. This may help relieve tension between you and your child.
How can you help your child during these years?
Being the parent of an adolescent can be challenging. Even if your child pushes you away at times, you still play a very big role in your child's life. Try to stay positive and keep the lines of communication open. While it is good to let your child make decisions, realize that adolescents need and want limits that are fair and firm.
To promote healthy development:
- Help your child build healthy eating habits and a healthy body image. Serve balanced meals, and keep lots of fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods in the house. Be a model of good eating and exercise habits for your child.
- Urge your child to get some exercise every day.
- Help your adolescent get enough rest. Set limits on phone, computer, and TV use after a set evening hour.
- Encourage mature thinking. Involve your child in setting house rules. Talk about current issues together. Brainstorm different ways to solve problems, and discuss their possible outcomes.
- Talk about sex and other adult issues in an open and natural way. Make this an ongoing conversation. It is best to begin this discussion before puberty so the child knows what to expect. If you don't feel able to do this, ask for help from your doctor, a trusted friend or family member, or a counselor. Don't let your child rely on information from TV or other kids.
Throughout these years, it is important to let adolescents know they are loved and accepted, no matter what happens, even if at times you don't agree with what they do or how they act.
