What can you do with Realtor.com listing data?

• Investors — Screen a market for price-per-square-foot outliers and long days-on-market, which is where negotiating room lives.
• Appraisers and analysts — Pull recently-sold comparables for a ZIP code instead of paging through them by hand.
• Proptech products — Seed a listings database with real inventory rather than licensing a feed.
• Agent prospecting — Build a contact list of listing agents active in a specific market.
• Market reporting — Track median price, inventory and days on market across cities over time.

How Realtor.com Scraper Works

1. You supply a location in Realtor.com's own format — San-Francisco_CA, Austin_TX.
2. The scraper opens the matching search for the chosen listingType.
3. It walks the result pages and opens each property detail page for the full field set.
4. Records stream to the dataset as they are parsed, stopping at maxItems per location.

Input

{
  "location": "Austin_TX",
  "listingType": "for-sale",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
location	string	San-Francisco_CA	City and state, hyphenated city with underscore state — San-Francisco_CA, Austin_TX
listingType	string	for-sale	for-sale or recently-sold
maxItems	integer	10	Maximum property records per location

Run it twice with the same location and both listing types to get asking prices and recent clearing prices side by side.

FAQ

What location format does the Realtor.com Scraper expect?

Realtor.com's own: city hyphenated, state after an underscore. San-Francisco_CA, New-York_NY, Austin_TX.

Can I get sold prices rather than asking prices?

Yes. Set listingType to recently-sold. That is the closest public equivalent to transaction data on this source.

Does it need a Realtor.com account?

No. It reads public listing pages.

Why is price a formatted string instead of a number?

It is returned as the listing displays it, currency symbol and separators included, without a lossy cast. Strip and parse it where you control the rounding.

Can I search by ZIP code or draw a map area?

Not currently — search is by city and state. ZIP appears in the output, so filter after the fact if you need a specific one.

Why Use Realtor.com Scraper?

• Sold comparables, not just listings — recently-sold gives real clearing prices, which is what valuation work actually needs.
• Agent contact on every record — Name, phone and brokerage come standard, so the same pull serves prospecting and analysis.
• Pay per property — No subscription, no seat licence. A one-off market study costs what those records cost and then stops.
