Redfin Property Scraper — For Sale, Sold & Rentals

Turn any US city, ZIP or Redfin search URL into a clean, structured property dataset — including the data most Redfin scrapers can't reach: the listing agent's direct phone, real sold prices, the Redfin Estimate with 60 months of history, and a rent estimate with computed gross yield.

Built directly on Redfin's own mobile API. No browsers, no CAPTCHA solving, no proxies required.

Who it's for

• Investors & analysts — sold comps with real sold prices and dates, Redfin Estimate history, rent estimate and gross rental yield in a single row.
• Agencies & lead-gen — the listing agent's name and direct mobile number on every listing.
• PropTech & SaaS developers — a stable, documented listing feed you can schedule and pipe straight into your product.
• Researchers & journalists — market-wide inventory snapshots with price history, tax and school data.

Rentals (listingType: "rentals")

Rental rows describe a building, so rent, beds, baths and sqft are ranges, and each row carries property_name, unit_count, the leasing phone, contact_email and feed_source.

Use cases

• Daily new-listing alerts — set maxDaysOnMarket: 1 and schedule it hourly to catch inventory the moment it hits the market.
• Automated comps — listingType: "sold" with soldWithinDays: 90 and a tight minSqft/maxSqft/minBeds band gives you a defensible comp set.
• Rental yield screening — enable includeValuation and sort your dataset by gross_rent_yield_pct to surface cash-flow candidates.
• Agent outreach lists — enable includeDetails and use listing_agent_phone / listing_broker_name.
• Market trend dashboards — estimate_history vs estimate_history_city shows whether a property is beating or lagging its market.
• Portfolio monitoring — schedule a run over your ZIP codes and diff price and redfin_estimate week over week.

Scheduling & webhooks

Use Apify Schedules to run this actor on a cron (e.g. every morning for new listings), and Webhooks to POST each finished run to your own endpoint, Zapier or Make. Results are available as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS from the dataset API.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

This actor works with the Apify MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-capable assistants can call it directly — for example "find 3-bed houses under $600k in Austin that sold in the last 30 days and show me the listing agents". Add the actor to your MCP server configuration and it becomes a callable tool.

FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. The actor talks to Redfin's mobile API, which does not require proxies, cookies or CAPTCHA solving. A proxy option is available if you want geo control or higher parallelism.

How fresh is the data? It is fetched live from Redfin on every run — there is no cached database behind this actor.

How many results can I get? Redfin returns up to 350 listings per request and the actor paginates automatically. Pass multiple locations (or tighter price bands) to cover large metros exhaustively.

Why is days_on_market empty on some rows? Pre-market ("Coming Soon" / "Early Access") listings have not started their market clock yet, so Redfin does not publish the value. Those rows are flagged status: "PRE_ON_MARKET".

Why are tax and last-sold values missing for some properties? Texas and other non-disclosure states do not publish sale prices or tax detail. This is a limitation of the public record, not of the scraper.

Is every property covered by the Redfin Estimate? No — Redfin does not publish an estimate for every property. When absent, redfin_estimate is null rather than guessed.

Is scraping Redfin legal? This actor collects publicly available listing information. You are responsible for how you use the data, including compliance with Redfin's terms, MLS rules, and applicable privacy and marketing laws (e.g. TCPA when contacting agents).

Something broke — what now? Open an issue on the actor's Issues tab. Runtime errors are reported automatically to the maintainer, so regressions are usually noticed quickly.
