Hubzu Auction Property Scraper

Scrape foreclosure, bank-owned (REO), short-sale and auction property listings from Hubzu.com — current bids, starting bids, list prices, beds/baths, auction dates and county data — for distressed-property leads and real estate market analysis, no account or API key required.

Main Use Cases

• Foreclosure & REO property leads — build investment pipelines from Hubzu's distressed inventory (bank-owned, foreclosure, short-sale, non-bank-owned, commercial).
• Real estate auction monitoring — track current bids, bid counts, reserve status and auction end dates across states and cities.
• Distressed property market research — analyze REO/foreclosure supply, starting-bid levels and occupancy by state and county.
• Investment screening — filter by event type and location to find fix-and-flip or buy-and-hold candidates with beds, baths, sqft, listPrice and ownItNowPrice.
• Competitive data for agent & brokerage research — agentCompanyName on active listings.

How It Works

Hubzu's search page is a React SPA that loads results from an internal JSON API (/api/portal/...). This actor calls that endpoint directly — the same one the website uses — and paginates cleanly through the entire result set at 100 listings/page. It is Cloudflare-aware: the API sits behind Cloudflare and 403s plain HTTP from most IPs, so the Apify Proxy is enabled by default and the run fails loudly with proxy guidance instead of silently returning empty results. No browser, no per-listing detail requests, plain HTTP — fast and cheap.

Build Foreclosure & REO Leads Without an Official Hubzu API

Hubzu has no public API for listing data. This actor exports the full public auction inventory instead: state/city search, event-type filtering (auctions, foreclosures, bank-owned, short-sale, non-bank-owned, commercial, traditional-sale), and per-listing bid, price and property data — the distressed-property inventory that mainstream real-estate scrapers (Zillow/Redfin-style) skip.

Monitor Real Estate Auctions: Bids, Reserves & Auction Dates

Every record includes currentBid, startingBid, listPrice, ownItNowPrice, bidCount and reserveMet, plus auctionStartDate/auctionEndDate. Schedule the actor daily or twice-daily to watch active auctions you're interested in and react before they end.

Scrape Distressed Property Listings for Investment Screening

Use event-type + state/city filters to target inventory: bank-owned and foreclosures for fix-and-flip candidates, commercial for income properties, short-sale for below-market opportunities. Every record carries the bid ladder (currentBid → startingBid → listPrice → ownItNowPrice) and reserveMet, so you can screen where the market actually is versus the seller's ask.

Integrations & Automation

• Apify API — pipe listings into your investment CRM or spreadsheets.
• Webhooks — get notified when a monitored auction run finishes.
• Scheduling — run daily (or twice daily) to watch auctions closing soon.
• Export — JSON, CSV, HTML, Excel.

Recommended schedule: daily for auction monitoring; weekly for market research snapshots.

FAQ

Why use this actor instead of the official Hubzu API?

Hubzu does not offer a public API for its auction inventory. This actor calls the same internal JSON API the Hubzu website renders (the /api/portal/... endpoint behind the React SPA) — no account, no API key, clean pagination through the full result set.

What are alternatives to this actor / foreclosure auction data?

• jongoose/hubzu-scraper — another Hubzu scraper, $0.001/result.
• stealth_mode/hubzu-property-search-scraper — 90+ fields per Hubzu listing.
• seibs.co/property-auction-leads — Zillow auction/sheriff/trustee sales with flip scores.
• HUD Foreclosure Listings Scraper — government-owned foreclosure inventory.

How can I monitor foreclosures in a specific state?

Set state (e.g. FL) and eventType: "foreclosures", schedule daily, and export auctionStartDate/endDate + currentBid so you can act before auctions close.

What is the best way to get distressed property leads for fix-and-flip?

Run eventType: "bank-owned" or "foreclosures" nationwide with maxItems up to 100,000, then screen by listPrice, beds/baths/sqft, occupancy and reserveMet. Use Residential proxy groups for reliable results.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

• Purpose: returns one structured property record per Hubzu auction listing (location incl. county + coordinates, bid ladder, reserve flag, beds/baths/sqft, auction start/end dates, occupancy, listing agent).
• Minimal input:

{ "eventType": "foreclosures", "maxItems": 100 }

• Variant input — state + city scope:

{ "state": "GA", "city": "Atlanta", "eventType": "auctions", "maxItems": 200 }

• Variant input — exact Hubzu search URL:

{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.hubzu.com/ga/atlanta/auctions" }], "maxItems": 200 }

Behaviors an agent should know:

• startUrls (if provided) overrides state/city/eventType.
• city requires state; state alone is fine (nationwide if empty).
• eventType default is auctions (all live auctions); use foreclosures, bank-owned, short-sale, commercial, etc. to narrow.
• maxItems is the hard cap (max 100,000); free-tier limited to 10.
• Proxy is on by default because Hubzu's API 403s datacenter IPs — use Residential groups for reliability; if blocked, the run fails loudly rather than returning empty data.
• Only search-endpoint fields are returned — full bid history and tax records (detail-page-only) are not included.
• Billing: pay-per-result — $0.0009 per listing record in the default dataset.
