Trulia announced that they have landed another $10M in venture capital today. And its not your average $10,000,000. The series C round was led by Sequoia Capital – the firm behind Apple, Google, YouTube, and many other BIG winners.

Trulia has been lighting up the contracts over the past 3-6 months. Signing many of the heavyweights (Cendant Realogy included). Personally, I have been very surprised by some of their successes (meaning the companies they have signed up). I thought that Zillow would have a big lead on these guys and gals, but it looks like the underdog may be landing the more powerful blows in this bout.

Zillow recently announced that they will be taking a page from Trulia’s play book, and focus on broker property feed deals – confirming the Trulia business model (kind of).

On another note, I read that Trulia is receiving 1.5 million visitors per month. For the record – LakePlace.com has a little less of a budget – and not quite as many resources – but when you compare apples to apples, LakePlace.com may just be the pound for pound champ in online real estate. -=)
