How to use

Quick start

1. Enter a US city and state in the Search Location field (e.g., "Houston, TX")
2. Select a Search Mode — BUY, RENT, or SOLD
3. Set Maximum Properties to control how many listings to scrape
4. Click Start and wait for results

Scrape specific properties

1. Go to Realtor.com in your browser
2. Navigate to the property listing you want
3. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar
4. Paste it into the Start URLs field

Combine search and direct URLs

You can provide both a location search and direct URLs. The scraper processes all sources and deduplicates results automatically.

Faster runs without detail enrichment

Set Scrape Full Details to false for a significantly faster run. You'll get core property data (price, beds, baths, sqft, address, photos, agents) from search results without visiting each property's detail page. This skips schools, tax history, listing history, risk data, and full descriptions.

How many properties can I scrape?

Realtor.com shows up to 42 properties per search page, with a maximum of 20 pages (840 properties per search). Use the Maximum Properties and Maximum Pages inputs to control how many to scrape.

Tips

• Start small — Use maxItems: 5 with scrapeDetails: false for your first run to verify the output format
• Disable details for speed — Set scrapeDetails: false for 3-5x faster runs when you only need listing-level data
• Use specific locations — "Houston, TX" works better than just "Houston"
• Recently sold data — Use SOLD mode for historical price data and market analysis

FAQ

Do I need a proxy? The scraper automatically uses a residential proxy, which is required to access Realtor.com. This is handled internally — no configuration needed.

Why are some detail fields empty? Detail enrichment depends on what Realtor.com provides for each listing. Not all properties have school data, tax records, or environmental risk scores. Some newer listings may not have history yet.

What's the difference between BUY, RENT, and SOLD modes? BUY searches active for-sale listings, RENT searches rental apartments and homes, and SOLD shows recently sold properties with final sale prices.

Can I scrape a specific neighborhood or ZIP code? Yes. Use formats like "77339" (ZIP code), "Kingwood, TX" (neighborhood + state), or a full address.

How fast is the scraper? With details enabled: approximately 5-10 properties per minute. Without details: approximately 42 properties per page every 5-8 seconds.

Why did I get fewer properties than maxItems? The location may have fewer listings than your limit, or the search may have reached the last page of results.
