Realtor.com Scraper — Homes for Sale & Rent

Scrape Realtor.com for-sale and rental listings by US city — then download structured real estate data as Excel, CSV, or JSON.

Architecture: thin Apify Actor → realtor-com Cloud Run worker (HTTPS + API key).
Worker URL is config (WORKER_BASE_URL), not hardcoded-only — migrate the worker by updating Actor env without a code change. Set WORKER_PROVIDES_PROXY=1 when the worker supplies its own PROXY_URL.

This Actor is a practical Realtor.com API alternative for market research, investor screening, rental comps, and lead lists. Enter a city such as Austin, TX, choose For sale, For rent, or Both, optionally filter by full residential property types, and get listing rows with prices, beds, baths, sqft, MLS source, agents, photos, pet policy, floorplans, and fees when present.

• Pull homes for sale and apartments for rent from Realtor.com
• Filter by full residential property types: house, condo, townhouse, multi_family, mobile, farm, land, apartment (multi-select)
• Enrich search results with GraphQL home details (MLS, advertisers, photos, HOA, open houses, pet policy, floorplans)
• Or paste known detail URLs to skip search
• Export to Excel / CSV / JSON, or connect Make, n8n, Zapier, Python, or MCP
• Pay per event — Actor start + each Dataset listing; no subscription

What does the Realtor.com Scraper do?

It turns a US city search on Realtor.com into a clean Apify Dataset of property listings.

Under the hood, the Actor mints an Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy (US, sticky per location) and calls a dedicated Cloud Run worker (realtor-com), which:

1. Resolves your location via search suggestions
2. Runs home_search for sale and/or rent with optional price and property-type filters
3. Optionally enriches each result with home(property_id) detail fields (bounded concurrency)
4. Returns normalized records the Actor writes to the Dataset

Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy is required on cloud runs (prefilled). Proxy country follows the search location.

Property types (full residential set)

Input value	Realtor.com category
house	Single-family
condo	Condo
townhouse	Townhome
multi_family	Multi-family
mobile	Mobile / manufactured
farm	Farm / ranch
land	Land
apartment	Apartment (esp. rentals)

Use propertyTypes: ["house","condo"] for multi-select, or leave empty for all types. Legacy single propertyType is still accepted and merged.

Commercial office/retail/industrial is not supported (different product surface).

What data can you extract?

Data point	For sale	For rent
Address / listing name	✅	✅
List price or rent range	✅	✅
Beds / baths / sqft	✅	✅
Property type & status	✅	✅
GPS coordinates	✅	✅
Listing URL & main image	✅	✅
MLS / source metadata	✅	✅
Agents / advertisers	✅	✅
Photo gallery	✅	✅
HOA / open houses	✅	—
Pet policy / fees / floorplans	—	✅

Every Dataset row includes scrapedAt and source = realtor.com. A RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store reports counts and warnings. Raw GraphQL payloads are off by default (includeRaw).

How to scrape Realtor.com (no code required)

1. Click Try for free
2. Enter a location (Austin, TX)
3. Choose For sale, For rent, or Both
4. Optionally set property types, max results, and price filters
5. Keep Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy enabled
6. Click Start — open the Dataset tab when the run finishes

Start with maxResults: 5–10 to verify the market, then scale up (max 200).

Free Apify plan limits (set by this Actor's developer)

Limit	Free Apify plan	Paid Apify plan
Runs of this Actor	10 runs total	Unlimited
Listings per run (maxResults)	Up to 200	Up to 200

These caps are enforced by the Actor developer (not Apify platform errors). When you hit the 10-run limit, the run finishes gracefully with a clear status message asking you to upgrade.

---

Pricing — how much does it cost?

Pay per event. No subscription.

Event	Price	When charged
apify-actor-start	$0.005	When a normal run starts (scaled by allocated memory GB)
apify-default-dataset-item (result)	$2.80 / 1,000 ($0.0028 each)	Each listing written to the default Dataset

User pays platform usage costs: Yes — compute, residential proxy, and other platform usage are billed separately.

Example product charges (events only):

Scenario	Approx. event charge
Canary: 10 listings	$0.005 + 10 × $0.0028 = $0.033
City scan: 100 listings	$0.005 + $0.28 = $0.285
Cap run: 200 listings	$0.005 + $0.56 = $0.565

Free Apify plan: up to 10 runs of this Actor and 200 listings per run. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs. (Limits set by the Actor developer.)

---

Input

Field	Description
location	City and state or ZIP
listingType	sale, rent, or both
maxResults	1–200 (default 20); free users capped at 200/run + 10 runs total
propertyTypes	Optional multi-select residential types
propertyType	Legacy single type (merged into propertyTypes)
minPrice / maxPrice	Optional USD filters
detailUrls	Optional detail page URLs (skips search)
enrichDetails	Fetch GraphQL home details (default true)
includeRaw	Attach full GraphQL object (default false)
proxyConfiguration	Apify RESIDENTIAL always used; country from location

Connect from code

Actor ID: lentic_clockss/realtor-com-scraper

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("lentic_clockss/realtor-com-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "location": "Austin, TX",
        "listingType": "sale",
        "maxResults": 10,
        "propertyTypes": ["house", "condo"],
        "enrichDetails": True,
        "proxyConfiguration": {
            "useApifyProxy": True,
            "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
        },
    }
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("name"), item.get("listPrice"), item.get("listingUrl"))

---

Live View / Standby endpoints

When Standby / Live View is enabled, the Actor exposes a small OpenAPI surface for readiness and discovery:

Endpoint	Purpose
GET /	Readiness / service info (Apify probe)
GET /health	Health check
GET /input-example	Low-cost example input
GET /openapi.json	Deployed OpenAPI document

Scraping still runs through a normal Actor run — Live View does not scrape Realtor.com by itself.

FAQ

Why am I limited to 10 runs / 200 listings on the free plan?

Those limits are set by this Actor's developer for free Apify plan users (not an Apify platform bug). Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs of this Actor. Event pricing (PPE) is separate from these free-tier caps.

Is there a free Realtor.com API?

Realtor.com does not offer a simple public listing API for bulk export. This Actor calls a Cloud Run worker that uses the public frontdoor GraphQL surface.

Can I scrape both for-sale and rental listings?

Yes. Set listingType to both. maxResults is split across sale and rent.

Why is a residential proxy required?

Realtor.com blocks many datacenter and direct IPs. Apify RESIDENTIAL with a country matched to the search location is required for reliable cloud runs.

Does this scrape commercial real estate?

No. Commercial office/retail/industrial is a different product surface. This Actor covers Realtor.com residential categories only (including multi-family, farm, and land filters on the residential site).
