Zillow Property Monitor — Listings, Prices & Sold Data

Keyless Zillow scraper for real-estate monitoring: for-sale listings, rentals, recently-sold comps, and full property detail — plus a watch mode built for scheduled price-cut and status-change tracking.

Investors, agents, and data buyers run property data on schedules. This actor was built to be the thing they schedule.

Mode	What it does
search	City/ZIP → listing rows — zpid, address, price, status, beds/baths, sqft, days-on-market, coords
detail	zpid or URL → full property record — price history, zestimate/rentZestimate, MLS ID, last-sold, lot, year built, HOA
watch	Snapshot rows per location per run — diff price/status across schedules for price-cut, pending, and sold alerts

Sale, rental, AND sold listings — listingType switches between /location/, /location/rentals/, and /location/sold/ surfaces. Rental buildings emit per-unit price ranges (priceFrom/priceTo).

No API key. No login. Pay only per row returned.

Why monitor Zillow?

• Price-cut radar — watch on a daily schedule → price drops and status flips surface the day they happen
• New-listing alerts — diff zpids across runs to catch fresh inventory in a ZIP before the crowd
• Comp pulls — sold type returns recently-sold comps with prices for underwriting
• Rental market intel — for_rent + priceFrom/priceTo unit ranges map a market's true rent bands
• Portfolio watch — detail on your own zpid list → zestimate, tax, price-history tracking
• Market research — days-on-market + price data per city for trend analysis

How it works

The actor reads Zillow's public property pages — the same data the site serves a browser, extracted from embedded structured data. No authentication required.

Example inputs

For-sale listings in a city

{
  "mode": "search",
  "location": "austin-tx",
  "listingType": "for_sale",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Recently sold comps

{
  "mode": "search",
  "location": "78701",
  "listingType": "sold",
  "maxResults": 40
}

Full detail on specific properties (detail pages need the proxy — search doesn't)

{
  "mode": "detail",
  "properties": [
    "29365471",
    "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/123-Main-St/88123456_zpid/"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Multi-location daily watch (the money mode)

{
  "mode": "watch",
  "locations": ["austin-tx", "round-rock-tx", "78745"],
  "listingType": "for_sale",
  "maxResults": 80
}

Schedule this daily — each run emits one listing_snapshot row per property per location. Diff price, status, and zpid-set across runs for price cuts, pending transitions, and new listings.

Pricing

$0.001 per result — a 3-location × 80-listing daily watch costs $0.24/day ($7/month). Detail on 100 properties ≈ $0.10/run. Compare: real-estate data platforms and MLS exports run $50–500/month.

Honest limits

• detail mode requires the built-in proxy (enable Proxy configuration — residential recommended): Zillow allows search pages from datacenter IPs but serves 403 on /homedetails/ pages. Search and watch modes work keyless.
• Search returns the ~41 listings embedded per location page — for larger markets, run multiple locations/ZIPs rather than expecting deep pagination.
• detail needs a zpid or full /homedetails/ URL. Rare fields (zestimate, tax history) are null on some records — Zillow doesn't always expose them.
• Zillow rate-limits aggressively — for heavy schedules enable Proxy configuration.

FAQ

Do I need a Zillow API key? No — everything comes from Zillow's public listing and detail pages. No auth.

What locations work? City slugs (austin-tx, new-york-ny), ZIP codes (78701), neighborhoods, or full Zillow URLs copied from your browser — including URLs with your own filters applied.

What does watch actually detect? Each run emits snapshots with current price + status per zpid. Comparing across scheduled runs catches: price cuts (price ↓), pending/contingent flips (status change), new listings (new zpids), and delistings (zpids that vanish).

Is it legal to scrape this data? The actor only accesses publicly available listing pages — the same data a browser sees. Scraping public data for research, monitoring, and analysis is common practice, but platform Terms of Service and the rules in your jurisdiction still apply to how you use it. Consult legal counsel for your specific case.
