	2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation—The Company's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP").
	The Company reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to its presentation within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. Specifically, effective October 1, 2013, the Company elected to change the presentation of certain lead acquisition costs and to reclassify these costs from "Cost of revenue" to "Sales and marketing" within its Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to be more consistent with certain of its peers and to combine all traffic acquisition costs that are not considered directly related to the fulfillment of products into "Sales and marketing." This had the effect of decreasing "Cost of revenue" and increasing "Sales and marketing" expense by $4.0 million and $3.7 million, or 2% of revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Based on a review of U.S. GAAP, management has concluded that this reclassification is not a change in accounting principle nor is it a correction of an error in previously issued financial statements.
	In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company eliminated the presentation of gross profit in its Consolidated Statements of Operations as it is not an important metric for the Company or the industry. The Company reports "Cost of revenue" as a separate line item within "Costs and operating expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the financial statements of Move, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in private entities where the Company holds a 50% or less ownership interest and does not exercise control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment balance is included in "Investment in unconsolidated joint venture" within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company's share of the investees' results of operations is included in "Earnings of unconsolidated joint venture" within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Investments in private entities where the Company holds an ownership interest of less than 20% and does not have significant influence over the entity are accounted for on the cost basis of accounting.
	Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to provisions for doubtful accounts, legal contingencies, income taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, the fair value of investments and the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company regularly maintains cash and cash equivalents in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions. The Company's accounts receivable are derived primarily from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectability of accounts receivable.
	Fair Value—The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The methodology establishes consistency and comparability by providing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels, which are described below:
	•
	Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (these are observable market inputs).
	•
	Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability (includes quoted market prices for similar assets or identical or similar assets in markets in which there are few transactions, prices that are not current or prices that vary substantially).
	•
	Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions in pricing the asset or liability (used when little or no market data is available).
	The Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The cash equivalent balances are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
	Prepaid Commissions—Prepaid commissions represent the incremental costs that are directly associated with subscription contracts with customers and consist of sales commissions paid to the Company's internal sales force.
	The commissions are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related customer contracts, which are typically 6 to 12 months in duration. The commission payments are paid in full the month after the customer's contract commences. The prepaid commission amounts are recoverable through the future revenue streams under the customer contracts. The Company believes this is the preferable method of accounting as the commission charges are so closely related to the revenue from the subscription contracts that they should be recorded as an asset and charged to expense over the same period that the subscription revenue is recognized. Amortization of prepaid commissions is included in "Sales and marketing" expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally 3 to 5 years for computer software and equipment and 5 years for furniture, fixtures and office equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements, which extend the useful life of the related asset, are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of property or equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the Company's financial statements with the resulting gain or loss reflected within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Capitalized Development Costs—The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the development of software for internal use, generally back office systems applications, and web site and mobile platform development costs ("capitalized development costs"). The costs incurred in the design and preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once a development project has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental and deemed by management to be significant, are capitalized in property and equipment and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Maintenance and enhancement costs, including those costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the software, web site or mobile application that results in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. As the Company is constantly enhancing its products, a significant portion of its product and web site development costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized over useful lives that range from 18 months to 5 years. Amortization of capitalized costs associated with back office system applications are included in "General and administrative" expense and amortization of capitalized web site and mobile platform development costs are included in "Product and web site development" expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Goodwill, Identifiable Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets—Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets have been recorded in connection with the Company's various acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination, and is not amortized. The Company has both indefinite- and definite-lived intangibles. Definite-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 1 to 15.5 years.
	The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill, identifiable intangible assets and long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, on an annual basis as of November 30, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying value amount. Events and circumstances that may indicate that an asset is impaired may include significant decreases in the market value of an asset, a significant decline in actual and projected advertising and software license revenue, loss of key customer relationships or renegotiation of existing arrangements, a change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, shifts in technology, loss of key management or personnel, changes in our operating model or strategy and competitive forces, as well as other factors.
	Impairment of goodwill is required to be tested at the reporting unit level which is determined through the use of the management approach. The management approach considers the internal organizational structure used by the Company's CODM for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company is aligned functionally with the management team focused and incentivized around total company performance. The CODM is provided with reports that show the Company's results on a consolidated basis with additional expenditure information by functional area, but there is no additional financial information provided at any further reporting unit level. Therefore the Company tests goodwill for impairment on a consolidated entity basis.
	If events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk involved, quoted market prices or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. In testing for a potential impairment of goodwill, the Company qualitatively evaluates, based on the weight of available evidence, the significance of all identified events and circumstances, including both positive and negative events, in their totality to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit (e.g. the consolidated entity) equals or exceeds the carrying value, it is not necessary to perform the quantitative assessment in that year. However, if the qualitative assessment indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, it would be necessary for the Company to proceed with the two-step quantitative impairment test. When a quantitative assessment is necessary, the Company will first compare the estimated fair value of the consolidated entity with book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If, however, the fair value is less than book value, then the Company is required to compare the carrying amount of the goodwill with its implied fair value. The estimate of implied fair value of goodwill may require independent valuations of certain internally generated and unrecognized intangible assets such as its subscriber base, software and technology, and patents and trademarks. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess. At November 30, 2013, the market capitalization of the consolidated entity was a multiple of 5.6X its carrying value.
	The Company also utilizes a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, evaluating these indefinite-lived intangible assets at the lowest level of separation based upon the revenue stream associated with the intangible asset. It first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is calculated. Otherwise, it is not necessary to calculate the fair value of the asset in that year. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds the fair value of that asset, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess.
	Deferred Revenue—Deferred revenue consists of prepaid but unrecognized subscription revenue, advertising fees received or billed in advance of delivery or completion of services, and for amounts received in instances when revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Deferred revenue is recognized when the services are provided and all revenue recognition criteria have been met. Any prepayments received from a customer on a contract that may be refundable are not considered deferred revenue and, instead, are classified as a liability and included in "Accrued expenses" within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Deferred Rent—For operating leases, rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases and, accordingly, any difference between the cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense is recorded as a deferred rent liability. Landlord-funded leasehold improvements, to the extent the improvements are at the Company's direction and control, are also recorded as deferred rent liabilities and are amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the non-cancelable term of the related operating lease.
	Revenue Recognition—Revenues are recognized from services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) services have been rendered; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. When a revenue agreement involves multiple elements, such as sales of various services in one arrangement or potentially multiple arrangements, the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on its relative fair value and recognized when the revenue recognition criteria for each element is met. The Company evaluates whether payments made to customers or revenues earned from vendors have a separate identifiable benefit and whether they are fairly valued in determining the appropriate classification of the related revenue and expense.
	The Company assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit worthiness of the customer. The Company does not request collateral from its customers. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the fee and recognizes revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash. Cash received in advance is generally recorded as deferred revenue until earned. If the cash received is refundable, the unearned portion is recorded as a current liability.
	The Company derives its revenue primarily from two product groups: (i) Consumer Advertising, and (ii) Software and Services. The Company derives all of its revenue from its operations in North America. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period.
	Consumer Advertising—Revenue for the Company's Consumer Advertising products are generated from the sale of online advertising for display on its consumer-facing web sites.
	Listing advertisements are typically sold on a fixed-fee subscription basis. Fixed-fee subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the services are provided. Pricing models for non-listing advertisements are impression-based and include CPM, CPC, cost-per-lead, cost-per-unique user and subscription-based sponsorships of specific content areas or specific targeted geographies. The impression-based agreements range from spot purchases to 12-month contracts. The impression-based revenue is recognized based upon actual impressions delivered and viewed by a user in a period. The Company measures performance related to advertising obligations on a monthly basis prior to the recording of revenue.
	Software and Services—Revenue for the Company's Software and Services products are generated from the sale of its SaaS CRM products, search engine marketing and listing syndication and reporting.
	The Company licenses its SaaS CRM products on a monthly subscription basis. The hosting arrangements for the products require customers to pay a fixed fee and receive service over a period of time, generally one year. Listing syndication pricing includes fixed- or variable-pricing models based on listing counts. Advanced reporting products are sold on a monthly subscription basis. Revenue for these products is recognized ratably over the service period.
	Pricing for our search engine marketing services is based upon the amount of marketing spend each month and is recognized as revenue at the time services are delivered.
	Taxes Collected from Customers—The Company reports taxes collected from customers on a net presentation basis.
	Advertising Expense—Advertising costs, which consist primarily of online advertising, email campaigns, media buys, other trade advertising and agency fees, are expensed as incurred and totaled $5.1 million, $1.9 million and $1.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising expense is included in "Sales and marketing" expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Stock-Based Compensation—The Company typically issues three types of stock-based awards to employees: restricted stock, time-vested restricted stock units ("restricted stock units") and stock options. Compensation expense associated with restricted stock and restricted stock units is based upon the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense associated with stock options granted to employees is based on the estimated grant date fair value as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized using a straight-line amortization method over the respective vesting period for awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Accordingly, stock-based compensation has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behaviors as well as trends of actual stock-based award forfeitures.
	The Company typically grants restricted stock awards to the non-employee members of its Board of Directors as remuneration for serving on its Board. Compensation expense associated with these restricted stock awards is based upon the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized using a straight-line amortization method over the respective vesting period for these awards.
	For stock options granted to non-employees, compensation expense is generally recognized over the vesting period of the award. At the end of each financial reporting period prior to vesting, the value of these options (as calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model) is remeasured using the then-current fair value of the Company's common stock. Stock options granted by the Company to non-employees typically vest over a four-year service period. The Company accounts for non-employee grants as an expense over the vesting period of the underlying options.
	Income Taxes—Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
	The Company reports a liability, if applicable, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits, are recognized in income tax expense.
	Net Income Per Share—Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive common stock, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and convertible senior notes. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and the convertible senior notes is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method. Shares associated with stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and convertible senior notes are not included to the extent they are antidilutive.
	Foreign Currency Translation—The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiary are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in "Other comprehensive income (loss)" within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
	Comprehensive Income—Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. For the Company, comprehensive income consists of its reported net income or loss and the change in the foreign currency translation adjustments during the period, and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
	Recent Accounting Developments—In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11"), "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are intended to end inconsistent practices regarding the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits on the balance sheet. An entity will be required to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a NOL or tax credit carryforward whenever the NOL or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. An entity is required to apply the amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2013-11, but does not anticipate that the implementation of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under evaluation by the various standard setting organizations and regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

	3.     Acquisitions
	In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of FiveStreet, Inc., which provides a lead consolidation and response tool for agents, agent-teams and brokerages. The software consolidates leads from various lead providers, including realtor.com® and other major real estate sites, and automates the process of rapidly responding to, assigning and distributing leads. The purchase price was $4.8 million in cash, $3.8 million of which was paid upon closing, with the remainder to be paid in two equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the acquisition date. The net assets acquired constituted a business at the date of acquisition and, therefore, were accounted for as a business combination, with the total purchase price being allocated to the assets acquired based on their respective fair values. The $4.8 million purchase price was allocated $2.6 million to purchased technology with an estimated useful life of 5 years, $0.3 million to net tangible assets (which included $0.1 million of cash acquired), with the remaining $1.9 million allocated to goodwill. In connection with the purchase accounting, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.7 million, resulting in additional goodwill of $0.7 million being recorded. The financial results of the acquisition are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma information for this acquisition has not been presented because the effects were not material to the Company's historical consolidated financial statements.
	In the second quarter of 2013, the Company acquired certain assets of ABC Holdings, LLC, which, prior to such date, operated Doorsteps®. Doorsteps® provides homebuyers with content, tools and advice along every step of the home buying process and helps professionals connect, engage and collaborate with homebuyers during every step of the transaction. The purchase price was $2.3 million in cash, $0.3 million of which was paid into escrow for a two-year period. The assets acquired constituted a business at the date of acquisition and, therefore, were accounted for as a business combination with the total purchase price being allocated to the assets acquired based on their respective fair values. The $2.3 million purchase price was allocated $1.0 million to domain name, $0.6 million to purchased technology, $0.2 million to web site content, with the remaining $0.5 million allocated to goodwill. The identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 5 years. The financial results of the acquisition are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma information for this acquisition has not been presented because the effects were not material to the Company's historical consolidated financial statements.
	In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Relocation.com, LLC, which operated an online marketplace that connects homebuyers and renters with moving and storage professionals and was a direct competitor to our Moving.comTM business. The purchase price was $11.5 million in cash, $9.5 million of which was paid upon closing, with the remaining $2.0 million to be paid in two equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the acquisition date. The assets acquired constituted a business at the date of acquisition and, therefore, were accounted for as a business combination with the total purchase price being allocated to the assets acquired based on their respective fair values. The $11.5 million purchase price was allocated $3.2 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $3.2 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $0.1 million to net tangible assets, with the remaining $5.0 million allocated to goodwill. The identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over estimated lives ranging from 2 to 6 years, with the exception of $3.2 million related to indefinite-lived domain names. The financial results of the acquired business are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition.

The purchase price was $22.0 million in cash, $3.0 million of which was paid into escrow for a one-to-two year period to secure potential liabilities of TigerLead. The assets acquired constituted a business at the date of acquisition and, therefore, were accounted for as a business combination with the total purchase price being allocated to the assets acquired based on their respective fair values. The $22.0 million purchase price was allocated $11.9 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $0.9 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $0.1 million to net tangible assets, with the remaining $9.1 million allocated to goodwill. The identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over estimated lives ranging from 6 to 9 years, with the exception of $0.9 million related to indefinite-lived trade name and trademarks. The financial results of the acquired business are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma information for this acquisition has not been presented because the effects were not material to the Company's historical consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company entered into employment agreements with members of TigerLead's senior management whereby the Company granted 273,420 restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $2.2 million. These restricted stock units vested one year from the date of grant.
	In the third quarter of 2011, the Company acquired the assets of Peep.ly, LLC ("Social Bios"). The Social Bios assets include social media products that can compile and integrate a user's social networking profiles from various social media properties to build a web site landing page that provides a profile of the user and allows the user to conduct a directory search for others whereby the user's social profile is matched against the social profiles of others to determine social overlaps or commonalities.

	Segment reporting requires the use of the management approach in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company's CODM for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company is aligned functionally with the management team focused and incentivized around the total company performance. The CODM is provided with reports that show the company's results on a consolidated basis with additional expenditure information by functional area, but there is no additional financial information provided at any further segment level. Based on this, the Company has determined that only one reportable segment exists.
	Within that single reporting segment, the Company categorizes its products and services into two groups—Consumer Advertising and Software and Services. The Company's Consumer Advertising products are focused on providing real estate consumers with the information, tools and professional expertise they need to make informed home buying, selling, financing and renting decisions through its operation of realtor.com® and other consumer-facing web sites. The Company's Software and Services products are committed to delivering valuable connections to real estate professionals by providing them with advertising systems, productivity and lead management tools, and reporting with the goal of helping to make them more successful.
	The following table summarizes the Company's revenues by product category within its single reporting segment for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

	Mortgage Match
	In August 2010, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a national mortgage banker D/B/A Mortgage Match and contributed an initial investment of $0.5 million in exchange for a 49.9% ownership in the joint venture. The Company recorded its initial investment in the joint venture at $0.5 million, reflecting such cash payment. In addition, the Company entered into an Interim Services Agreement in August 2010 with the joint venture partner, under which the Company operated the MortgageMatch.com web site, performed various supporting services and received a fixed monthly fee.
	In July 2011, the Company and its joint venture partner decided to dissolve the joint venture and terminate the Interim Services Agreement. As a result of the dissolution, the Company received a distribution of $0.5 million which represented the refund of its initial investment. In addition, the Company incurred $0.6 million in costs related to the dissolution of the joint venture which are included in "General and administrative" expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.
	Builders Digital Experience LLC
	In October 2009, along with BHI, the Company entered into an agreement to create BDX, a joint venture dedicated to helping new home builders reach buyers with innovative online marketing solutions. Through this joint venture, and in part through operation of a new web site, www.theBDX.com, BDX operates the Move.com New Homes Channel, the NewHomeSource.com web site and other web sites focused on the new homes market. The BDX joint venture is located in Austin, Texas. The Company made cash payments of $6.5 million and contributed customer lists and other business assets in exchange for a 50% ownership in the joint venture. The Company recorded its initial investment in the joint venture at $6.5 million. The carrying value of the investment in BDX exceeded the Company's proportionate share in the underlying assets of the joint venture by $2.5 million. This excess primarily related to differences in the cash payments and carrying value of the net assets contributed by the Company and BHI upon the formation of the joint venture and represented goodwill.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company's interest in its unconsolidated joint venture, BDX, amounted to $4.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively, which was recorded in "Investment in unconsolidated joint venture" within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	The Company accounts for its investments in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company records its proportionate share of the joint venture's net income or loss based on the monthly financial statements of the joint venture. The Company records its proportionate share of net income or loss one month in arrears. The Company's proportionate share of earnings resulting from its investment in unconsolidated joint venture was $2.4 million, $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was included in "Earnings of unconsolidated joint venture" within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	The Company received cash distributions of $2.7 million, $2.0 million and $1.9 million from BDX during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company applies the "cumulative earnings" approach to apportion the cash distributions received from BDX between returns on investment and returns of investment for purposes of classification in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. All cash distributions received are deemed to be returns on the Company's investment in BDX and classified as operating cash flows, unless the cumulative cash distributions exceed the Company's cumulative equity in earnings from its investment in BDX, in which case the excess cash distributions are deemed to be returns of the investment and are classified as investing cash flows.
	The Company evaluates the significance of its unconsolidated joint ventures on an annual basis. Based on that assessment, the Company determined that its investment in BDX was significant for the year ended December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the stand-alone financial statements of BDX have been included as Exhibit 99.02 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

	Convertible Senior Notes
	In August 2013, the Company issued the Notes with a principal amount of $100.0 million. Interest is payable in cash in arrears at a fixed rate of 2.75% on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2014. The Notes mature on September 1, 2018 unless repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Company cannot redeem the Notes prior to maturity.
	The terms of the Notes are governed by an indenture by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the "Indenture"). The Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or any restrictions pertaining to the payment of dividends, the incurrence of senior debt or other indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company. Upon conversion, holders of the Notes will receive cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election.
	For the Notes, the initial conversion rate is 53.2907 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $18.77 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. Prior to the close of business on June 1, 2018, the conversion is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as described below.
	Holders of the Notes who convert their notes in connection with certain corporate events that constitute a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a corporate event that constitutes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of their notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
	Holders of the Notes may convert all or a portion of their notes prior to the close of business on June 1, 2018, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances:
	•
	during any fiscal quarter commencing after the quarter ending on December 31, 2013, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least twenty trading days during a period of thirty consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the respective notes on each applicable trading day;
	•
	during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the respective notes for each day of that five day consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate of the respective notes on such trading day; or
	•
	upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as noted in the Indenture.
	In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of similar liabilities that do not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, representing the conversion option, was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the principal amount of the Notes. This difference represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
	In accounting for the direct transaction costs (the "issuance costs") related to the Notes, the Company allocated the total amount of issuance costs incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Issuance costs, including fees paid to underwriters who acted as intermediaries in the placement of the Notes, attributable to the liability component are included within "Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes, and the issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component and included within "Additional paid-in capital" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recorded issuance costs of $2.8 million and $0.6 million to the liability component and equity component, respectively. Interest cost related to the amortization expense of the issuance costs associated with the liability component was $0.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The Notes consisted of the following (in thousands):
		December 31, 2013
	Principal amounts:
	Principal	$	100,000
	Unamortized debt discount(1)		(17,541	)
	Net carrying amount	$	82,459
	Carrying amount of the equity component(2)	$	18,137
	-1
	Included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Convertible senior notes," and is amortized over the remaining life of the Notes on an effective interest rate basis.
	-2
	Included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Additional paid-in capital," net of $0.6 million in issuance costs.
	As of December 31, 2013, the remaining life of the Notes was 56 months. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of the Notes on net income per share as a result of the Company's intent and stated policy to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash.
	The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized and the effective interest rate related to the Notes (in thousands, except effective interest rate):
		Year Ended
		December 31, 2013
	Contractual interest expense	$	1,077
	Interest cost related to amortization of debt issuance costs		195
	Interest cost related to amortization of the debt discount		1,234
	Effective interest rate of the liability component		7.9	%
	The initial net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were $96.6 million after deducting the issuance costs paid by the Company. In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company purchased 1,798,561 shares of its outstanding common stock in privately negotiated transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million. The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds of the Notes for general corporate purposes and potential future acquisitions and strategic transactions.
	Revolving Line of Credit
	The Company was previously party to a revolving line of credit agreement with a major financial institution, providing for borrowings of up to $20.0 million. The revolving line of credit agreement was terminated in August 2013 in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes. There were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit immediately prior to its termination.

	7.     Fair Value Measurements
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company's cash and cash equivalent balances were held in unrestricted demand deposit accounts or invested in U.S. treasury bills with original maturity dates of three months or less for which fair value is determined using quoted market prices. As of December 31, 2013, the cash equivalent balances invested in U.S. treasury bills were valued at $40.0 million and are classified as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2012, all of the Company's cash balances were held in unrestricted demand deposit accounts. The Company had no cash equivalents at that date. Accordingly, no adjustments to fair value were necessary.
	Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. That is, such assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g. when there is evidence of impairment). At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no significant non-financial assets or liabilities that had been adjusted to fair value subsequent to initial recognition.
	The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments not recorded at fair value were as follows (in thousands):
		December 31, 2013
		Carrying		Estimated Fair
		Amount		Value(1)
	Convertible senior notes	$	82,459	$	112,875
	-1
	The fair value of the Notes is inclusive of the conversion feature, which was originally allocated for reporting purposes at $18.8 million, and is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Additional paid-in capital."
	The estimated fair value of the Notes, which are classified as level 2 financial instruments, was determined based on the quoted bid price of the Notes in an over-the-counter secondary market on December 31, 2013.
	Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock of $15.99 on December 31, 2013, the if-converted value of the Notes was less than their principal amounts.

	13.   Stock Plans
	In June 2011, the Board of Directors adopted, and the stockholders approved, the Move Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan"). The 2011 Plan reserved 5.2 million shares of common stock for future grants. The 2011 Plan contains a provision for an automatic increase in the number of shares available for grant, not to exceed 2.5 million, based on the number of shares underlying awards outstanding as of February 28, 2011, under prior plans that thereafter terminate or expire unexercised, or are cancelled, forfeited or lapse for any reason. We renounced the granting of further awards under all previous stock plans as part of our proposal of the 2011 Plan for stockholder approval, which 2011 Plan was approved by our stockholders at our Annual Meeting on June 15, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, shares available to grant pursuant to the 2011 Plan were increased by the maximum 2.5 million allowed in accordance with its terms. On June 12, 2013, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2011 Plan whereby the number of shares available for future grant was increased by 2.1 million. As of December 31, 2013, common stock available for future issuance under the 2011 Plan was 3.3 million shares.
	Prior to the adoption of the 2011 Plan, the Company's Board of Directors adopted various equity incentive plans (some of which were approved by the Company's stockholders), and in addition the Company assumed certain equity incentive plans in connection with various acquisitions (collectively, the "Predecessor Plans"). These Predecessor Plans provided for the issuance of either non-statutory or both non-statutory and incentive stock options in addition to other equity instruments to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. These Predecessor Plans were superseded by the adoption of the 2011 Plan in June 2011. Consequently, there were no shares available for future issuance under these Predecessor Plans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Options outstanding pursuant to these plans were 2,505,886 and 5,141,695 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the weighted-average exercise prices of those outstanding options were $10.84 and $10.90, respectively.
	Stock-Based Compensation and Charges
	The Company recognizes stock-based compensation and charges in accordance with ASC 718 "Compensation—Stock Compensation." Compensation costs are recognized using a straight-line amortization method over the vesting period.
	The following chart summarizes the stock-based compensation and charges, associated with stock option, restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants to employees and non-employees, that have been included in the following financial statement captions for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

	Total stock-based compensation and charges	$	10,688		$	8,272	$	5,907
	Stock Option Awards
	The fair value of stock option awards was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that used the ranges of assumptions in the following table. The risk-free interest rates are based upon U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds for the periods during which the options were granted. The expected term of stock options granted represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The Company has not declared and does not expect to declare dividends on its common stock; accordingly, the dividend yield for valuation purposes is assumed to be zero. The Company bases its computation of expected volatility upon a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility.
		Year Ended December 31,
		2013		2012		2011
	Risk-free interest rates	0.69%–1.75%		0.59%–1.04%		0.83%–2.30%

	Dividend yield	0%		0%		0%
	Expected volatility	70%–75%		75%		75%–80%
	The Company periodically evaluates its forfeiture rates and, if appropriate, updates the rates it uses in the determination of its stock-based compensation expense. There were no changes to the forfeiture rates for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	The following table is a summary of stock option activity as of December 31, 2013 and for the year then ended. There were no stock option grants made to non-employees in the year ended December 31, 2013.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $7.7 million, $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

	On November 6, 2005, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") with Elevation Partners, L.P. and such affiliates as Elevation Partners, L.P. designated ("Elevation") to sell to Elevation 100,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100 million. The transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The transaction closed on November 29, 2005. The net proceeds of $94.1 million from the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock were net of issuance costs of $5.9 million, and were classified as mezzanine equity due to certain change of control provisions which provide for redemption outside the control of the Company.
	The Series B Preferred Stock had an original aggregate liquidation preference of $100 million plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $16.80 per share, subject to certain adjustments upon certain events. The Series B Preferred Stock paid a quarterly dividend of 3.5% per annum of the original price per share, which was payable in additional Series B Preferred Stock until November 29, 2010, after which such dividends were paid only in cash.
	In February 2011, the Company reached an agreement with Elevation to redeem 70,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, at a total redemption price of $70.4 million, including $0.4 million in associated cash dividends accrued through the date immediately prior to the redemption. As a result of the redemption, the Company accelerated a proportionate share of the unamortized discount resulting in an additional charge of $1.4 million, which is included in "Convertible preferred stock dividend and related accretion" within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011. Immediately after the completion of the redemption, Elevation continued to be the sole holder of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and held 49,044 shares of such stock as of December 31, 2011, which stock was held under the same terms as applied to the original purchase of Series B Preferred Stock.
	In March 2012, the Company elected to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock held by Elevation, 49,044 shares, for a total redemption price of $49.5 million, including $0.5 million in associated cash dividends accrued through the date immediately prior to the redemption. In March 2012, the Company and Elevation agreed on certain timing and procedural matters to facilitate the redemption. As a result of the agreed-upon redemption, the Company recognized the remaining unamortized issuance costs associated with the Series B Preferred Stock of $0.4 million, which is included in "Convertible preferred stock dividend and related accretion" within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. The redemption was effective, and the redemption price was paid to Elevation on April 6, 2012.
	The Company recorded accretion of the discount and issuance costs of $0.5 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and Canada. However, due to the NOLs and Canadian tax credits generated for tax purposes, the Company does not record a current U.S. federal or Canadian tax provision. However, the Company is subject to income taxes in various state jurisdictions and has recorded a current state tax provision. In addition, the Company has recorded a deferred tax provision due to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets being amortized for tax purposes but not for book purposes. For the year ended December 31, 2013, a deferred tax benefit was recorded for the change in the valuation allowance resulting from the deferred tax liability established as part of a business combination.
	Significant components of the provision for income taxes are as follows (in thousands):

	Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effect attributable to temporary differences, NOLs and credit carryforwards. A summary of the components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowance follows (in thousands):
		December 31,
		2013			2012
	Deferred tax assets:
	Net operating loss carryforwards	$	262,987		$	267,398
	Other		37,366			44,729
			300,353			312,127

	Total deferred tax liabilities		(8,211	)		(1,333	)
	Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(1,959	)	$	(1,333	)
	Based on management's assessment, the Company has placed a valuation reserve against its otherwise recognizable deferred tax assets due to the likelihood that the Company may not generate sufficient taxable income during the carryforward period to utilize the NOLs. Management regularly reviews the Company's net deferred tax valuation allowance to determine if available evidence continues to support the Company's position that it is more-likely-than-not (likelihood of more than 50%) that a portion of or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized in the future. As of December 31, 2013, management could not conclude that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. As a result, the Company will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to assess its position in future periods to determine if it is appropriate to reduce a portion of its valuation allowance in the future.
	The valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets decreased by $18.0 million primarily as a result of a reduction of deferred tax assets due to book and tax basis differences related to the Notes and the expiration of stock options and NOLs. The deferred tax liability is included in "Other non-current liabilities" within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	The Company recognizes excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options as additional paid in capital only when realized. Accordingly, deferred tax assets are not recognized for NOLs resulting from excess tax deductions. As of December 31, 2013, deferred tax assets do not include $57.1 million of these excess tax benefits from employee stock option exercises that are a component of the Company's NOLs. Additional paid in capital will be increased up to an additional $57.1 million, if and when, such excess tax benefits are realized. At December 31, 2013, the Company had gross NOLs for federal and state income tax purposes of $910.6 million and $223.1 million, respectively. The federal NOLs will begin to expire in 2017. In 2013, $69.8 million of the state NOLs expired and will continue to expire from 2014 until 2033. Gross NOLs for both federal and state tax purposes may be subject to an annual limitation under relevant tax laws. Currently, the NOLs have a full valuation allowance recorded against them. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $34.0 million of capital loss carryforward for federal and state income tax purposes. In 2013, $1.4 million of the capital loss expired. The Company also had $6.3 million of Canadian tax credit carryforward available to offset Canadian tax liabilities. The Canadian tax credit will begin to expire in 2015.
	Of the $910.6 million federal NOLs, $149.9 million may belong to members of the Company's group that cannot be consolidated for federal income tax purposes. Consequently, those NOLs would not be available to the Company to offset taxable income in the future. The NOLs indicated above are subject to a full valuation allowance.
	Utilization of the NOLs may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership changes that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") as well as similar state and foreign limitations. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOLs that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. The Company has completed a significant portion of its study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred that would materially impact the utilization of NOLs. The work performed to date does not indicate a material limitation of any NOLs. There may also be additional ownership changes in the future, and any future change of its current market capitalization would severely limit the annual use of these NOLs going forward. Such limitation could also result in expiration of a portion of the NOLs before utilization. Further, until the study is completed and any limitations known, no amounts are being considered as an uncertain tax position or disclosed as an unrecognized tax benefit. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company's unrecognized tax benefits will not impact its effective tax rate. Any NOLs that expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions or accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income tax. The Company does not have any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income tax during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The tax years 1993—2013 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

	Legal Proceedings
	On February 28, 2007, in a patent infringement action against a real estate agent, Diane Sarkisian, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Sarkisian case"), Real Estate Alliance, Limited ("REAL"), moved to certify two classes of defendants: subscribers and members of the multiple listing service of which Sarkisian was a member, and customers of the Company who had purchased enhanced listings from the Company. The U.S. District Court in the Sarkisian case denied REAL's motion to certify the classes on September 24, 2007. On March 25, 2008, the U.S. District Court in the Sarkisian case stayed that case, and denied without prejudice all pending motions, pending the U.S. District Court of California's determination in the Move California Action (see below) of whether the Company's web sites infringe the REAL patents.
	On April 3, 2007, in response to REAL's attempt to certify our customers as a class of defendants in the Sarkisian case, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (the "District Court") against REAL and its licensing agent (the "Move California Action") seeking a declaratory judgment that the Company does not infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 4,870,576 and 5,032,989 (the "REAL patents"), that the REAL patents are invalid and/or unenforceable, and alleging several business torts and unfair competition. On August 8, 2007, REAL denied the Company's allegations, and asserted counterclaims against the Company for infringement of the REAL patents seeking compensatory damages, punitive damages, treble damages, costs, expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees and pre- and post-judgment interest. On March 11, 2008, REAL filed a separate suit in the District Court (the "REAL California Action") alleging infringement of the REAL patents against the NAR and the National Association of Home Builders (the "NAHB") as individual defendants, as well as various brokers including RE/Max International ("RE/Max"), agents, MLSs, new home builders, rental property owners, and technology companies. The Company is not named as a defendant in the REAL California Action; however, the Company is defending the NAR, the NAHB and RE/Max. On July 29, 2008, the Move California Action was transferred to the same judge in the REAL California Action and in September 2008, the District Court coordinated both cases and issued an order dividing the issues into two phases. Phase 1 addresses issues of patent validity and enforceability, whether Move web sites infringe, possible damages, and liability of Move, the NAR and the NAHB. Phase 2 will address REAL's infringement claims related to the web sites owned or operated by the remaining defendants and whether those defendants infringe the REAL patents by using the Move web sites. The District Court has stayed Phase 2 pending resolution of the issues in Phase 1.
	On November 25, 2009, the District Court entered its claim construction order in the Move California Action. On January 27, 2010, upon joint request of the parties, the District Court entered judgment of non-infringement of the patent. In July 2010, REAL appealed the District Court's claim construction with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals (the "Circuit Court"). On March 22, 2011, the Circuit Court concluded that the District Court erred in certain of its claim construction and vacated and remanded the case for further proceedings.
	On October 18, 2011, the parties filed a Joint Brief on Summary Judgment Motions, each side putting forth its arguments requesting the District Court to enter summary judgment in its favor. On January 26, 2012, the District Court entered an order granting the Company's motion for summary judgment on the Company's claim of non-infringement of the patent. On March 27, 2012, REAL appealed the District Court's summary judgment order. On March 4, 2013, the Circuit Court issued its opinion affirming the District Court's ruling of no direct infringement of the patent by the Company, but remanded the case to the District Court for a determination of induced infringement under the standard set forth in Akamai Technologies, Inc. v. Limelight Network, Inc., 692 F.3d 1301 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (S.Ct. Cert. No. 12-960). The Company filed a motion for rehearing to the Circuit Court on May 3, 2013. On June 12, 2013, the Circuit Court denied the Company's motion and remanded the case to the District Court. On January 10, 2014, the U. S. Supreme Court granted writ of certiorari in the Akamai case on the issue of whether the Circuit Court erred in holding that a defendant may be held liable for inducing patent infringement in the absence of a finding of direct infringement. On February 3, 2014, the District Court entered an order staying the case pending the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Akamai case. The Company intends to vigorously defend all claims. At this time, however, the Company is unable to express an opinion on the outcome of these cases.
	In March 2010, Smarter Agent, LLC ("Smarter Agent") filed suit against Move, Inc., against the Company's affiliate, RealSelect, Inc. ("RealSelect"), and also against other co-defendants Boopsie, Inc., Classified Ventures, LLC, Hotpads, Inc., IDX, Inc., Multifamily Technology Solutions, Inc., D/B/A MyNewPlace, Primedia, Inc., Consumer Source, Inc., Trsoft, Inc., D/B/A PlanetRE, Trulia, Inc., Zillow, Inc., and ZipRealty, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court"). The complaint alleges that the Company and RealSelect, Inc. infringe U.S. Patents 6,385,541; 6,496,776; and 7,072,665 ("Patents in Suit") by offering an iPhone application for the realtor.com® web site and requested an unspecified amount of damages (including enhanced damages for willful infringement and attorneys' fees) and an injunction. On August 31, 2010, co-defendants Boopsie, Inc., Classified Ventures, LLC, Hotpads, Inc., IDX, Inc., Multifamily Technology Solutions, Inc., Primedia, Inc., Consumer Source, Inc., Trsoft, Inc., Trulia, Inc., Zillow, Inc., and ZipRealty, Inc., filed requests for interpartes reexamination of the Patents in Suit with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO"). On September 30, 2010, the Company filed an answer and counter claims on behalf of Move and RealSelect. On October 22, 2010, SmarterAgent filed its answer to such counter claims. The PTO accepted the Patents in Suit for re-examination and on December 21, 2010, issued an initial office action rejecting all claims in the Patents in Suit. Smarter Agent appealed the PTO's rejection to the Patent Trial and Appeals Board. On March 2, 2011, all parties agreed to stipulate to stay the lawsuit pending the completion of all re-examination proceedings at the USPTO and on March 7, 2011, the Court so ordered the stay as requested. The Company intends to vigorously defend all claims. At this time, however, the Company is unable to express an opinion on the outcome of this case.
	Contingencies
	From time to time, the Company is party to other litigation and administrative proceedings relating to claims arising from its operations in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and except as set forth herein, the Company is not a party to any other litigation or administrative proceedings that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation—The Company's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP").
	The Company reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to its presentation within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. Specifically, effective October 1, 2013, the Company elected to change the presentation of certain lead acquisition costs and to reclassify these costs from "Cost of revenue" to "Sales and marketing" within its Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to be more consistent with certain of its peers and to combine all traffic acquisition costs that are not considered directly related to the fulfillment of products into "Sales and marketing." This had the effect of decreasing "Cost of revenue" and increasing "Sales and marketing" expense by $4.0 million and $3.7 million, or 2% of revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Based on a review of U.S. GAAP, management has concluded that this reclassification is not a change in accounting principle nor is it a correction of an error in previously issued financial statements.
	In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company eliminated the presentation of gross profit in its Consolidated Statements of Operations as it is not an important metric for the Company or the industry. The Company reports "Cost of revenue" as a separate line item within "Costs and operating expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the financial statements of Move, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in private entities where the Company holds a 50% or less ownership interest and does not exercise control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment balance is included in "Investment in unconsolidated joint venture" within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company's share of the investees' results of operations is included in "Earnings of unconsolidated joint venture" within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Investments in private entities where the Company holds an ownership interest of less than 20% and does not have significant influence over the entity are accounted for on the cost basis of accounting.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to provisions for doubtful accounts, legal contingencies, income taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, the fair value of investments and the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk	'
	Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company regularly maintains cash and cash equivalents in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions. The Company's accounts receivable are derived primarily from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectability of accounts receivable.
Fair Value	'
	Fair Value—The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The methodology establishes consistency and comparability by providing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels, which are described below:
	•
	Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (these are observable market inputs).
	•
	Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability (includes quoted market prices for similar assets or identical or similar assets in markets in which there are few transactions, prices that are not current or prices that vary substantially).
	•
	Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions in pricing the asset or liability (used when little or no market data is available).
	The Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The cash equivalent balances are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Prepaid Commissions	'
	Prepaid Commissions—Prepaid commissions represent the incremental costs that are directly associated with subscription contracts with customers and consist of sales commissions paid to the Company's internal sales force.
	The commissions are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related customer contracts, which are typically 6 to 12 months in duration. The commission payments are paid in full the month after the customer's contract commences. The prepaid commission amounts are recoverable through the future revenue streams under the customer contracts. The Company believes this is the preferable method of accounting as the commission charges are so closely related to the revenue from the subscription contracts that they should be recorded as an asset and charged to expense over the same period that the subscription revenue is recognized. Amortization of prepaid commissions is included in "Sales and marketing" expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally 3 to 5 years for computer software and equipment and 5 years for furniture, fixtures and office equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements, which extend the useful life of the related asset, are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of property or equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the Company's financial statements with the resulting gain or loss reflected within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Capitalized Development Costs	'
	Capitalized Development Costs—The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the development of software for internal use, generally back office systems applications, and web site and mobile platform development costs ("capitalized development costs"). The costs incurred in the design and preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once a development project has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental and deemed by management to be significant, are capitalized in property and equipment and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Maintenance and enhancement costs, including those costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the software, web site or mobile application that results in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. As the Company is constantly enhancing its products, a significant portion of its product and web site development costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized over useful lives that range from 18 months to 5 years. Amortization of capitalized costs associated with back office system applications are included in "General and administrative" expense and amortization of capitalized web site and mobile platform development costs are included in "Product and web site development" expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Goodwill, Identifiable Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets	'
	Goodwill, Identifiable Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets—Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets have been recorded in connection with the Company's various acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination, and is not amortized. The Company has both indefinite- and definite-lived intangibles. Definite-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 1 to 15.5 years.
	The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill, identifiable intangible assets and long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, on an annual basis as of November 30, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying value amount. Events and circumstances that may indicate that an asset is impaired may include significant decreases in the market value of an asset, a significant decline in actual and projected advertising and software license revenue, loss of key customer relationships or renegotiation of existing arrangements, a change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, shifts in technology, loss of key management or personnel, changes in our operating model or strategy and competitive forces, as well as other factors.
	Impairment of goodwill is required to be tested at the reporting unit level which is determined through the use of the management approach. The management approach considers the internal organizational structure used by the Company's CODM for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company is aligned functionally with the management team focused and incentivized around total company performance. The CODM is provided with reports that show the Company's results on a consolidated basis with additional expenditure information by functional area, but there is no additional financial information provided at any further reporting unit level. Therefore the Company tests goodwill for impairment on a consolidated entity basis.
	If events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk involved, quoted market prices or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. In testing for a potential impairment of goodwill, the Company qualitatively evaluates, based on the weight of available evidence, the significance of all identified events and circumstances, including both positive and negative events, in their totality to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit (e.g. the consolidated entity) equals or exceeds the carrying value, it is not necessary to perform the quantitative assessment in that year. However, if the qualitative assessment indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, it would be necessary for the Company to proceed with the two-step quantitative impairment test. When a quantitative assessment is necessary, the Company will first compare the estimated fair value of the consolidated entity with book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If, however, the fair value is less than book value, then the Company is required to compare the carrying amount of the goodwill with its implied fair value. The estimate of implied fair value of goodwill may require independent valuations of certain internally generated and unrecognized intangible assets such as its subscriber base, software and technology, and patents and trademarks. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess. At November 30, 2013, the market capitalization of the consolidated entity was a multiple of 5.6X its carrying value.
	The Company also utilizes a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, evaluating these indefinite-lived intangible assets at the lowest level of separation based upon the revenue stream associated with the intangible asset. It first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is calculated. Otherwise, it is not necessary to calculate the fair value of the asset in that year. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds the fair value of that asset, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess.
Deferred Revenue	'
	Deferred Revenue—Deferred revenue consists of prepaid but unrecognized subscription revenue, advertising fees received or billed in advance of delivery or completion of services, and for amounts received in instances when revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Deferred revenue is recognized when the services are provided and all revenue recognition criteria have been met. Any prepayments received from a customer on a contract that may be refundable are not considered deferred revenue and, instead, are classified as a liability and included in "Accrued expenses" within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Deferred Rent	'
	Deferred Rent—For operating leases, rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases and, accordingly, any difference between the cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense is recorded as a deferred rent liability. Landlord-funded leasehold improvements, to the extent the improvements are at the Company's direction and control, are also recorded as deferred rent liabilities and are amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the non-cancelable term of the related operating lease.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition—Revenues are recognized from services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) services have been rendered; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. When a revenue agreement involves multiple elements, such as sales of various services in one arrangement or potentially multiple arrangements, the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on its relative fair value and recognized when the revenue recognition criteria for each element is met. The Company evaluates whether payments made to customers or revenues earned from vendors have a separate identifiable benefit and whether they are fairly valued in determining the appropriate classification of the related revenue and expense.
	The Company assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit worthiness of the customer. The Company does not request collateral from its customers. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the fee and recognizes revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash. Cash received in advance is generally recorded as deferred revenue until earned. If the cash received is refundable, the unearned portion is recorded as a current liability.
	The Company derives its revenue primarily from two product groups: (i) Consumer Advertising, and (ii) Software and Services. The Company derives all of its revenue from its operations in North America. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period.
	Consumer Advertising—Revenue for the Company's Consumer Advertising products are generated from the sale of online advertising for display on its consumer-facing web sites.
	Listing advertisements are typically sold on a fixed-fee subscription basis. Fixed-fee subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the services are provided. Pricing models for non-listing advertisements are impression-based and include CPM, CPC, cost-per-lead, cost-per-unique user and subscription-based sponsorships of specific content areas or specific targeted geographies. The impression-based agreements range from spot purchases to 12-month contracts. The impression-based revenue is recognized based upon actual impressions delivered and viewed by a user in a period. The Company measures performance related to advertising obligations on a monthly basis prior to the recording of revenue.
	Software and Services—Revenue for the Company's Software and Services products are generated from the sale of its SaaS CRM products, search engine marketing and listing syndication and reporting.
	The Company licenses its SaaS CRM products on a monthly subscription basis. The hosting arrangements for the products require customers to pay a fixed fee and receive service over a period of time, generally one year. Listing syndication pricing includes fixed- or variable-pricing models based on listing counts. Advanced reporting products are sold on a monthly subscription basis. Revenue for these products is recognized ratably over the service period.
	Pricing for our search engine marketing services is based upon the amount of marketing spend each month and is recognized as revenue at the time services are delivered.
Taxes Collected from Customers	'
	Taxes Collected from Customers—The Company reports taxes collected from customers on a net presentation basis.
Advertising Expense	'
	Advertising Expense—Advertising costs, which consist primarily of online advertising, email campaigns, media buys, other trade advertising and agency fees, are expensed as incurred and totaled $5.1 million, $1.9 million and $1.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising expense is included in "Sales and marketing" expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation—The Company typically issues three types of stock-based awards to employees: restricted stock, time-vested restricted stock units ("restricted stock units") and stock options. Compensation expense associated with restricted stock and restricted stock units is based upon the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense associated with stock options granted to employees is based on the estimated grant date fair value as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized using a straight-line amortization method over the respective vesting period for awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Accordingly, stock-based compensation has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behaviors as well as trends of actual stock-based award forfeitures.
	The Company typically grants restricted stock awards to the non-employee members of its Board of Directors as remuneration for serving on its Board. Compensation expense associated with these restricted stock awards is based upon the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized using a straight-line amortization method over the respective vesting period for these awards.
	For stock options granted to non-employees, compensation expense is generally recognized over the vesting period of the award. At the end of each financial reporting period prior to vesting, the value of these options (as calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model) is remeasured using the then-current fair value of the Company's common stock. Stock options granted by the Company to non-employees typically vest over a four-year service period. The Company accounts for non-employee grants as an expense over the vesting period of the underlying options.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes—Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
	The Company reports a liability, if applicable, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits, are recognized in income tax expense.
Net Income Per Share	'
	Net Income Per Share—Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive common stock, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and convertible senior notes. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and the convertible senior notes is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method. Shares associated with stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and convertible senior notes are not included to the extent they are antidilutive.
Foreign Currency Translation	'
	Foreign Currency Translation—The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiary are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in "Other comprehensive income (loss)" within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Comprehensive Income	'
	Comprehensive Income—Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. For the Company, comprehensive income consists of its reported net income or loss and the change in the foreign currency translation adjustments during the period, and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Recent Accounting Developments	'
	Recent Accounting Developments—In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11"), "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are intended to end inconsistent practices regarding the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits on the balance sheet. An entity will be required to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a NOL or tax credit carryforward whenever the NOL or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. An entity is required to apply the amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2013-11, but does not anticipate that the implementation of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under evaluation by the various standard setting organizations and regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

	Effective October 1, 2013, the Company elected to change the presentation of certain lead acquisition costs and to reclassify these costs from "Cost of revenue" to "Sales and marketing" within its Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to be more consistent with certain of its peers and to combine all traffic acquisition costs that are not considered directly related to the fulfillment of products into "Sales and marketing." This had the effect of decreasing "Cost of revenue" and increasing "Sales and marketing" expense by the quarterly amounts specified in the following table.
