realestate.com.au and related names are trademarks of their respective owners. Data is read from publicly accessible Australian listing search. No realestate.com.au account login is required.

You are solely responsible for complying with applicable laws (including Australian privacy rules), realestate.com.au's terms of use, and your organization's policies when processing listing and agent data.

realestate.com.au scraper for AU sold comps, for-sale, and for-rent listings — export sold price, sold date, beds, baths, land m², $/m², postcode, GPS, photos, and listing-agent phone into JSON/CSV. Use it as a realestate.com.au API alternative from Python, Node.js, cURL, or Apify MCP / AI assistants: paste postcodes, a suburb, or any search / /property- URL.

Best for: postcode-farm sold comps, CMA worksheets, new-sale monitors, and AU coverage next to the EU/UK/US portal Actors — not another buy-inventory dump.

Actor	Role
realestate.com.au Scraper ◄── you are here	AU sold comps, postcode, for-sale & rent
Rightmove Scraper	UK Rightmove listings (sale & rent)

When to use this Actor

• Sold comps by postcode — Drop 2026, 3000, or a farm list. Default status is sold, sorted by sold date, last 30 days.
• CMA windows past six months — Set Sold within (days) to 90, 180, or 365. Search is date-sorted; the Actor stops once listings fall outside the window.
• Exact suburb, not neighbours — Surrounding suburbs are off by default (REA otherwise blends in listings from across the water).
• For-sale or rental pull — Switch listing status, or paste a /buy/ or /rent/ search URL with type / beds / price already in the path.
• Scheduled monitoring — Re-run the same postcodes and emit only new or status/price-changed rows (new sold this week).
• One listing — Paste a /sold/property-house-nsw-bondi-151817252 URL to fetch that property.

When not to use this Actor

• Nationwide agent directories, email enrichment, or Domain.com.au — This version is listing comps on realestate.com.au only.
• Authenticated REA feeds — No login, saved searches, or contact-unlock walls.
• A $0.90 buy-inventory dump — Default is sold comps. Switch to for-sale only when you need live stock.

Key features

• HTTP first, Patchright fallback — Cheap curl_cffi when it works; patched Chromium when Kasada 429s. 2048 MB RAM.
• Postcode-first builder — postcodes[] is the primary input; suburbs and Start URLs are optional.
• Sold recency you control — 1–730 days via sold date, default 30, sort sold-date desc.
• Search + listing URLs — Path filters (property-house, with-3-bedrooms, between-min-max) are kept.
• Price-band split — Automatic when a query hits the ~2,000-result / 80-page REA window (Bondi sold is 40k+).
• Monitor mode — Key-value store remembers listing IDs plus status/price/sold date across runs.
• Residential AU proxy — Required on Apify Cloud; datacenter IPs get Kasada 429. The Actor warms a patched Chrome session through AU residential.

FAQ

Is this an official realestate.com.au API?
No. It is an unofficial realestate.com.au scraper / API alternative that reads the public listing search payload. It is not affiliated with REA Group. You can call it from Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP.

How do I scrape realestate.com.au sold listings by postcode with Python or Node.js?
Pass postcodes plus listingStatus: "sold" (the default). Use the snippets above. Add soldWithinDays for the CMA window and monitorMode on a schedule for new closed sales.

How far back do sold comps go?
Public sold search is date-sorted and often spans years, but REA caps a single query at about 80 pages (~2,000 rows). This Actor splits by price band past that window. Coverage still depends on what the portal exposes for that postcode.

Why is agent phone empty on some rows?
Sold search cards show agent name and agency, not the mobile. Turn on Scrape full property details for agentPhone, agencyPhone, and GPS.

Do I need a proxy?
On Apify Cloud, AU RESIDENTIAL is required. HTML search pages return Kasada 429 from datacenter IPs.
