Americantowns.com Adds Local Real Estate Information And Search From Trulia

Company Offers Comprehensive Information to Towns Across U.S.

FAIRFIELD, CT, Feb. 5, 2008 – AmericanTowns, the national network of hyperlocal, community-based websites, has announced a content relationship with Trulia.com, a leading on-line provider of local real estate information. Commencing in early 2008, AmericanTowns’ 15,000 local community websites are incorporating Trulia’s listings and maps of homes for sale and recent sales, as well as charts of local real estate trends and “heat maps” comparing nearby real estate markets. For an example, see the Evanston Illinois Real Estate section on AmericanTowns.

“American Towns’ inside look at what is going on in town has historically been very popular with real estate agents and their clients, whether they are looking to move across town or across the country,” said Jim Maglione, AmericanTowns co-President, Community. “Our relationship with Trulia will provide even more in-depth information, and allow us to present up-to-the-minute real estate trends in interesting ways.”

American Towns provides towns across America with their own “community webspace,” where local citizens can find and share the information most important to their daily lives. These sites include information on 120,000 community organizations, over 100,000 postings by these organizations and their members, and an extensive guide to local Community Resources, which the Trulia real estate content will now supplement. In December, AmericanTowns announced that it had achieved the milestone of listing 10 million community events online in 2007.

AmericanTowns has also announced content relationships with other leading providers of local information, including local news provider Topix, Traffic.com, the Alliance Reservations Network, Career Builder and SuperPages.com. It is also adding other content sourced directly from the Internet.

“This new relationship with Trulia is part of an ongoing initiative to provide the best information and engagement for our users,” added AmericanTowns’ Chairman Ted Buerger, who also handles strategic relationships for the company.

Founded in 2000, AmericanTowns completed a Class A funding round from angel investors earlier in 2007, followed by a $3.3 million strategic investment in September 2007 from Idearc Media Corp, the NYSE-listed publisher of the Verizon Yellow Pages and home to Superpages.com. These funds have been used to build the Company from a regional leader in the New York City suburbs to a nationwide community-based service and to expand content offerings.
