Earlier this week, Trulia lunched its mobile application for the iPhone (can be downloaded from the iPhone’s App Store).  The reason I bring this up on Road to Real Estate is that it can help buyers find homes for sale within a certain radius around their current location.  You can also create a custom search which only shows homes that you would be interested in viewing.  If the listing agent or seller (For Sale By Owner) is hosting an Open House and enters that on Trulia, the date and time of the Open House will appear right on your iPhone!  Of course, if you are working with an agent, they could schedule a time for you to see the home without the listing agent/seller being present, which makes the prospective buyer feel more comfortable. 

Since the product was just released, don’t expect too many Open Houses currently listed, but as time goes on, expect it to catch on, especially when Trulia launches this for other mobile platforms.
