Hubzu Scraper - Foreclosure & Auction Real Estate

Scrape foreclosure, bank-owned (REO), short-sale and auction property listings from Hubzu into clean, structured data - no account or API key required. Search by state, state + city, choose an event type, or paste Hubzu search URLs.

Hubzu is one of the largest online real-estate auction marketplaces in the US - the platform banks and servicers use to auction distressed, foreclosed and REO homes. This is high-value, low-competition data: current bids, auction end dates and distressed-property inventory that mainstream real-estate scrapers (Zillow/Redfin-style) don't cover.

What you get (per listing)

• propertyId + listingId and the canonical listing URL (hubzu.com/property/<id>-<address-slug>)
• address, city, state, zip, county, plus lat / lng
• currentBid, startingBid, listPrice, ownItNowPrice (all numeric) + bidCount and reserveMet / reservePrice flags
• beds, baths (supports half-baths), sqft, lotSize, propertyType (Single Family / Condo / ...)
• eventType + raw propertyCategory - Bank Owned (REO), Foreclosure, Short Sale, Non-Bank Owned
• listingStatus / propertyStatus (auction status) and listingType (Auction / Traditional Sale)
• auctionStartDate, auctionEndDate, auctionDuration, and time-left (timeLeftDays / Hours / Minutes)
• occupancyStatus, agentCompanyName, sellerId, tagName, newToHubzu / hotProperty / selfShowing / brokerCoOp
• imageUrl (primary photo) + photoCount

Input

• state - a two-letter US state code, e.g. GA. Leave empty to scrape nationwide.
• city - optional, narrows to a single city (requires state), e.g. Atlanta.
• eventType - auctions (default, every live auction), foreclosures, bank-owned, short-sale, non-bank-owned, commercial, or traditional-sale.
• startUrls - optional. Paste Hubzu landing/search URLs (overrides state/city/event), e.g. https://www.hubzu.com/ga/auctions, https://www.hubzu.com/tx/houston/bank-owned, https://www.hubzu.com/foreclosures.
• maxItems - caps the total listings collected.
• proxyConfiguration - Apify default (datacenter) proxy is sufficient; switch to Residential only if Cloudflare starts blocking datacenter IPs.

Why this actor

• High-WTP niche: distressed / auction / foreclosure inventory (REO, short-sale) that mainstream real-estate scrapers skip - great for investors, iBuyers, wholesalers and lead-gen.
• Reads the site's own JSON API, not brittle HTML. Hubzu's search page is a JavaScript SPA that loads results from an internal /api/portal/... service; this Actor calls that endpoint directly, so it paginates cleanly through the entire result set (thousands of listings) instead of the empty page shell.
• Fast + cheap: every field comes from the search API - no per-listing detail requests - and it runs on Apify's default datacenter proxy.
• Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull via the Apify API.

Great for distressed-property lead generation, auction monitoring, foreclosure-market analysis, and real-estate investment research.
