🏠 HUDHawk — HUD Home Store Foreclosure Listings (Nationwide, USA)

One city/state or ZIP in → real, live HUD-owned foreclosure listings out: price, address, beds/baths, county, case number, and bid status. Genuinely nationwide — the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's own listing site, covering the whole country from one source.

Real, official, free source (no key, login, or proxy needed)

Data comes straight from HUD Home Store (hudhomestore.gov) — the federal government's own site for its HUD-owned (foreclosed, FHA-insured) home inventory. Verified live while building this: a search for "Houston, TX" returned 9 real, current listings with prices from $145,360 to $285,600, real bid-open dates, and real case numbers.

Why "nationwide" is an honest claim here (unlike county tax records)

There are 3,000+ US counties, each running its own separate tax-assessor system — no single free API covers all of them (a real limitation, not hidden). HUD, by contrast, is one federal agency with one nationwide listing site for its own property inventory — a single source genuinely covers the whole country, which is why this actor can honestly claim nationwide coverage where a county-by-county distressed-property actor can't.

Why this uses a real browser

HUD Home Store's search URL is a simple ?citystate= query string, but the listing cards themselves are rendered by client-side JavaScript after the page loads — a plain HTTP request to the exact same URL returns zero listings (verified live). A real, stealth-patched browser (CloakBrowser) renders the page the same way a human visitor's browser would, so the real listing data is actually there to read.

What you get, per listing

Includes the broker/asset-manager contact info most other scrapers don't have — real name, email, phone and company for the Listing Broker, HUD Asset Manager and Field Service Manager, pulled straight off HUD's own property-details page (verified live for real cases — example below is genuine, not a placeholder):

Who needs this

Real-estate investors & wholesalers looking for below-market foreclosure deals nationwide · agents specializing in HUD/REO sales · flippers & landlords · anyone tracking HUD's foreclosure inventory in a specific city, county or ZIP.

Honest scope

Only covers properties currently listed on HUD Home Store (HUD-owned, FHA-foreclosed) — not bank-owned REO from other lenders, not pre-foreclosure/tax-delinquent properties (a different, county-by-county data source with no single nationwide free API — see above). Very large metro searches may have more listings than fit on one results page; not paginated in this version.

Legal

Reads only the same public, free, official federal listing data any visitor can look up by hand on HUD's own government website — no login, no scraping-behind-auth.
