Strong revenue growth at Trulia on Tuesday night bodes well for Zillow next week.

Residential real estate is hot, and we saw that when Ellie Mae (ELLI) -- a fast-growing provider of mortgage industry solutions -- posted blowout quarterly results on Tuesday night.

However, websites specializing in real estate are growing even faster. Trulia (NYSE: TRLA) posted monster growth on Tuesday night. Revenue soared 97% as the average of monthly visitors rose 52% to 31.4 million. Trulia did post a wider loss than Wall Street was expecting, but the top-line growth is what Zillow (ZG 1.70%) and Realtor.com parent Move (NASDAQ: MOVE) investors are applauding.

Move reports on Thursday night. Zillow posts its quarterly results next week.

In this video, longtime Fool contributor Rick Munarriz discusses why Trulia's strong top-line growth showing and its robust guidance for the current quarter bode well for Move and Zillow.
