Trulia filed an updated S-1 to set the terms of its upcoming IPO. The company plans to issue 6 million shares at $14 to $16 a piece.
The timing seems pretty good, especially as the real estate market is showing signs of improvement. Trulia is one of the top online providers of valuation information for the industry.
Also keep in mind that Zillow (NASDAQ:Z) has had a good ride since its IPO in July 2011. The stock has gone from $20 to $43.
The lead underwriters on the Trulia deal include JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) and Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB). The company plans to issue its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol of TRLA.
