Zillow Market Trends Scraper

Scrape real estate market trend data from Zillow for any US city or state. Returns the Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI), median listing and sale prices, for-sale inventory, days to pending, sale-to-list ratio, rental index (ZORI), and configurable months of historical data — everything an investor or market analyst needs in one structured record.

Features

• City or state input — e.g. "Austin, TX", "Texas", or "TX"
• Home Value Index — latest ZHVI with year-over-year change
• Listing & sale metrics — median listing price, median sale price, inventory, new listings
• Transaction ratios — sale-to-list ratio, % selling above/below list, days to pending
• Rental index — latest ZORI (Zillow Observed Rent Index)
• Historical arrays — configurable months (1–120) of monthly trend data
• Multiple locations per run — pass a list and get one record per location

Input

Note: ZIP codes are not supported by Zillow's market data pages — use a city or state instead.

FAQs

What locations are supported? Any US city or state that has a home-values page on Zillow (zillow.com/{slug}/home-values/). ZIP codes are not supported — use a city name instead. International locations are not supported.

What is ZHVI? The Zillow Home Value Index is Zillow's estimate of the typical home value for a region. zhviYoY is the year-over-year change as a decimal (e.g. -0.057 = -5.7%).

What is ZORI? The Zillow Observed Rent Index tracks typical market-rate rents. Available for most cities and states.

Why are some fields missing? Zillow's data coverage varies by market. Smaller markets may omit some metrics. The actor returns whatever Zillow provides for each location.

Why are some history arrays shorter than historyMonths? Zillow may have less historical data available for certain markets. The actor returns up to the requested number of months, capped at what Zillow provides.

How many locations can I scrape per run? There is no hard cap — pass as many locations as you need. Each location takes 2–5 seconds including the inter-location delay.
