Trulia Breadcrumbs That Delight & Amaze

Follow me on a click-through journey

(and trust me, you will want to read to the very end)…

So I get this email…

…titled “Three Steals Under 100k” and I see a listing in my very own state (albeit a 2.5 hour drive away) and out of curiosity, I click the word “Houston” to take me to this Trulia listing:

And then…

And I want to see more info, so I click the “See More Photos and Details” button which takes me here:

And then…

And I don’t find any specific information or available units from this condo site, so I click “View Website” in hopes I’d be sent to a builder site where I could see current inventory, and it takes me here:

And then…

I see that the starting price is as Trulia.com noted (under $100k) but still see no inventory no matter how hard I look, so I click “Enclave Homes by Royce” to get to the builder site so I can see inventory, but it takes me here:
