Auction.com Scraper — Foreclosure, REO & Trustee Sale Data

Turn Auction.com — the largest US online marketplace for distressed residential real estate — into clean, structured data. Search foreclosure auctions, bank‑owned (REO) homes and trustee sales by state, city, county or ZIP code and get every property back with its address, beds/baths/square footage, auction date, starting bid, reserve status, occupancy and estimated value — plus, with details on, an estimated value range (AVM), a rental estimate and nearby sold comparables.

Built for real‑estate investors, house flippers, wholesalers, iBuyers, agents, lenders, appraisers, proptech teams and market analysts who need auction and foreclosure inventory as a spreadsheet or an API feed — not one listing at a time.

• Buy‑and‑hold / rental investors — combine the rental estimate with the starting bid to screen for cash‑flow properties.
• Agents & brokers — track distressed inventory and auction dates in your farm area.

🎯 Tips for best results

• Start broad, then filter — pull a state, then narrow with assetTypes, priceMax or bedsMin after export.
• Use includeDetails selectively — the base record already has price, beds/baths and estimated value; turn on comps when you need valuation depth.
• Watch reserveStatus and bidCount — they tell you how live an auction is right now.
• Batch metros with cities — "Dallas, TX", "Fort Worth, TX" in one run.
• Go nationwide with a maxItems cap to sample the whole market without pulling everything.

---

🔌 Run it your way

• Apify Console — fill in locations and filters, then Start.
• API — launch runs and pull the dataset programmatically.
• Scheduler — refresh your auction feed hourly or daily.
• Integrations — push to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, webhooks, S3, and more.
