Allhomes.com.au Scraper: Canberra Prices, EER & UV

Live Sample Dataset & Verified Run Benchmark

Two runs on 2026-11-03 on Apify Cloud, build 0.1.14. Both datasets are public: open the JSON or CSV link in a browser, no login and no run needed.

List run — IwFYdO11UBrbVgKqt · 30 rows · 55 columns · 32.4 s · charged apify-actor-start 1, listing-scraped 30. JSON · CSV

Detail run — hK5a1iFRTmzS0FWio · 3 rows · 55 columns · 149.3 s · charged listing-scraped 3, detail-scraped 3. JSON · CSV

Fill rate on the 30-row list sample: priceNumeric 27/30, eer 30/30, landSizeSqm 0/30. The three empty prices are auctions where no guide price is printed, so the field stays null instead of guessing. Block size is empty because every row in this sample is an apartment; run a house suburb to see it. In the 3-row detail sample, unimproved_value and rates_annual are filled on 1 of 3 rows, because the portal only prints them when the building has a published valuation.

#	Address	Price	Beds	Baths	EER	Source
1	217/2 Akuna Street, City ACT 2601	$199,000+	1	1	6	Open
2	312/2 Akuna Street, City ACT 2601	$210,000	1	0	6	Open
3	604/2 Akuna Street, City ACT 2601	$215,000	0	1	6	Open

Open the sample, compare the three rows with the source pages, check the $2.005 and $8.005 lines below, and note the 50-row free limit. That is the whole test, under five minutes.

What does the Allhomes.com.au Scraper do?

Scrape allhomes.com.au listings for Canberra and the ACT by suburb, state and postcode, across three channels: buy, rent and sold. Every row is one property, with address, price text and number, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, EER, property type, agent phone, agency name and listing URL.

Detail mode adds the ACT Unimproved Value, its valuation year and scope, the annual rates, the full description, features and the transfer history. The Actor reads public pages only. It does not log in, bypass a paywall or read private data.

Why scrape allhomes.com.au with this Actor?

The ACT publishes facts that other states do not: an Energy Efficiency Rating on almost every listing, an Unimproved Value for land, and annual rates. This Actor puts those fields at the top level, so they sort and export without opening a nested blob.

1. EER in every row. Sort by energy rating, filter the worst performers, or build a retrofit shortlist.
2. Land value and rates in detail mode. unimproved_value, uv_year, uv_scope and rates_annual are separate numeric columns.
3. Three channels, one schema. Buy, rent and sold rows share the same column names, so a union query needs no remapping.
4. Multi-suburb runs. Pass a suburbs list and every area lands in one dataset, ready for CSV or Sheets.
5. Stale-listing filter. minDaysOnMarket: 60 keeps only listings that have been advertised for 60 days or more.
6. Change feed. onlyPriceChanged, onlyNew and onlyEmitChanges return only what moved since the last run.

What data can you extract from allhomes.com.au?

Field group	Fields	List mode	Detail mode
Identity	listingId, sourcePortal, listingUrl	Yes	Yes
Address	fullAddress, street, suburb, state, postcode, latitude, longitude	Yes	Yes
Price	priceDisplay, priceNumeric, priceHistory, priceChangesCount	Yes	Yes
Property	propertyType, bedrooms, bathrooms, carSpaces, landSizeSqm, building_size, eer	Yes	Yes
Agent	agent1_name, agent1_phone, agency_name, agency_phone	Name only	Phone and agency phone
ACT values	unimproved_value, uv_year, uv_scope, rates_annual	No	Yes
Dates	daysOnMarket, sold_date, auction_date, listing_status	Yes	Yes
Content	description, features, history, images	No	Yes

uv_scope tells you what the valuation covers: lot for a single block, block when the UV covers the whole strata building. That matters for apartments, where the value is not the unit's alone.

How to scrape allhomes.com.au listings and price history

1. Choose channel: buy, rent or sold.
2. Enter state, suburb and postcode, or pass a suburbs list for several areas.
3. Set maxPages and maxItems for the size you need.
4. Turn on includeDetails for UV, rates, description and agent phone; cap the spend with maxDetails.
5. Add minDaysOnMarket when you only want stale stock, and onlyPriceChanged for a daily alert.
6. Press Run, then save the task and add a schedule in Apify.

The actor pages until maxPages or the result set ends. A repeat run uses stateKey to remember what it saw, so the change fields stay meaningful across days.

How much does it cost to scrape allhomes.com.au?

Pricing is pay-per-event. All Apify platform compute and residential/unblocker proxy usage is 100% included in the per-event price. You never pay a separate compute-unit or proxy surcharge.

• List Mode (includeDetails: false): $2.005 per 1,000 listings on the Apify Standard tier ($0.005 actor start + 1,000 × $0.002 per listing), or ~$1.60 per 1,000 on Apify Scale/Business discounted tiers.
• Full Detail Mode (includeDetails: true): $8.005 per 1,000 listings with full details on the Apify Standard tier ($0.005 actor start + 1,000 × $0.002 listing + 1,000 × $0.006 detail add-on), or ~$6.40 per 1,000 on discounted tiers. A 3-row detail test run costs exactly $0.029.
• Free plan limit: Free Apify accounts can extract up to 50 rows per run, enough to inspect the full schema, verify field fill rates and test a suburb before upgrading. Paid Apify plans unlock unlimited rows per run.
• Detail rows are billed whether they are live or served from the cache, because the customer receives the data in both cases.

Empty values are real: the page did not print a price, a phone or a land size, so the field stays empty rather than invented.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) & Legal Disclaimer

Does the Actor return a price when the page shows an auction date?

No. priceNumeric stays null and priceDisplay keeps the printed text, such as Auction 18/11/26. Guessing a guide price would corrupt every average built on the data.

Why is the unimproved value missing on some apartments?

The portal prints an Unimproved Value only for buildings with a published valuation; uv_scope tells you whether it covers the lot or the whole block. No value on the page means an empty column.

Can I scrape several suburbs in one run?

Yes. Pass a suburbs list; each area becomes its own search and all rows land in one dataset.

How do I find 60-day-old listings?

Set minDaysOnMarket: 60. Rows without a known days-on-market value are dropped, so the result is exactly the stale stock.

Is this legal?

The Actor reads public listing pages and does not access private data. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with the portal's terms and Australian privacy law.
