Property Finder Scraper: UAE Listings, Transactions & Prices

What does Property Finder Listings Scraper do?

Built for property investors, agents and analysts who track UAE listings. Screen Dubai and Abu Dhabi communities by price per sqft, compare each asking price with the community average and recorded sale and rent transactions, and watch new listings and price drops on a schedule.

Cost example: 1,000 listings cost about $0.80, or $2.30 with market data (transactions and price trends). Tracking 5 communities x 200 listings every week with market data is about $2.30 per week. No monthly fee.

Quick start: 1) click Try for free and paste a Property Finder result URL, or type a city and community; 2) pick buy or rent, bedrooms and price range, and switch on market data; 3) click Start and download JSON, CSV or Excel. Save the run as a task and add a schedule for daily or weekly monitoring.

Property Finder Listings Scraper collects property listings from Property Finder, the largest property portal in the UAE, and also from its sites in Qatar, Bahrain, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Paste result pages straight from your browser (for example propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/dubai/apartments-for-sale-dubai-marina.html), or just type a city and community, pick buy or rent, the property type, bedrooms, furnishing, price range and completion status (ready / off-plan). No URL building needed.

Each listing becomes one clean row: price and rent frequency, property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, size (sqft and sqm), price per sqft, the full location hierarchy (city, community, sub-community, building) with coordinates, amenities, furnishing, completion status, listed date, verified flag, permit link and the broker company.

Turn on market data to add what most Property Finder scrapers leave out: recorded sale and rent transactions of similar units, monthly and yearly price trends for the community and the building, the community average price and how far the listing is above or below it, plus developer, service charge and building data.

It reads the same public pages a logged-out visitor sees. No Property Finder account, cookies or browser needed: 1,000 listings take about one minute.

This is an unofficial tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Property Finder or its owners.

Why use Property Finder Listings Scraper?

• Market context per listing. Recorded transactions, price trends and the community comparison come as tidy fields next to each listing, ready for yield, valuation and "priced below the area" analysis.
• Filters without URL building. City, communities (or "Community > Building" paths), property type, bedrooms, furnishing, price and completion status as plain inputs. Unknown location names are matched against Property Finder's own location list, and the log shows the names it offers.
• Five countries, one schema. UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Egypt and Saudi Arabia listings share the same fields; sizes are given in both sqft and sqm.
• Privacy-safe. Agents are individuals, so their names, photos, licence numbers, phone numbers, WhatsApp and e-mail are never collected, and phone numbers and e-mail addresses inside descriptions are masked. Only the broker company is kept (name, licence, office address, logo, profile link).
• Polite and reliable. Paced requests with random jitter, automatic back-off when the site slows down, and only pages that Property Finder's robots.txt allows.
• Fair pricing. You pay per saved listing; failed searches and failed listing pages are not charged.

Typical uses: rental-yield and price-per-sqft analysis, investor deal screening, broker and inventory monitoring, new-listing alerts, and market research by community or building.

Pricing: how much does it cost to scrape Property Finder?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

• listing: $0.80 per 1,000 listings saved.
• market-data: $1.50 per 1,000 listings with market data (only when includeMarketData is on, on top of listing).

So 1,000 listings cost about $0.80, or $2.30 with market data. Searches that fail are not charged, and a listing whose page fails or shows no market data is charged as listing only. Set a maximum charge for the run and the Actor stops at that limit.

Tips and limits

• No-code automation: a ready-to-import n8n workflow runs this Actor on a schedule and sends weekly new listings to Google Sheets (all templates).

• Filters are applied to the results. Property Finder's robots.txt asks crawlers not to load filtered search addresses, so price, completion status and (for URLs) bedrooms and furnishing are checked on each listing. Bedrooms and "furnished" in the location search use Property Finder's own pages and are fast; a narrow price range in a big area reads more pages (see maxPagesPerSearch). You only pay for listings that match.

• Sort order is Property Finder's default (featured first). Each listing is saved once per run, even if several searches find it.

• Market data needs one listing page per listing: about 12 minutes per 1,000 listings. Recorded transactions are published for the UAE. Qatar, Bahrain and Egypt listings have price trends and the community comparison; Saudi listings usually have no market data, and those rows are charged as listing only.

• Locations: use the community name as Property Finder shows it, or Community > Building for deeper levels. If a name is not found, the log lists the names Property Finder offers.

• New-project pages and developer project cards are not included; only property listings are.

• Only English pages (/en/…) are supported.

• Property data for other countries: UK (Rightmove), Poland (Otodom), Brazil (ZAP Imóveis & VivaReal).

FAQ

Do I need a Property Finder account?

No. The Actor reads public result and listing pages that anyone can open without logging in. It never asks for or uses credentials.

Does it collect personal data?

It does not collect agents' names, photos, licence numbers, phone numbers or e-mail addresses, and it masks contact details inside descriptions. Broker company details are business information. You are responsible for using the data in line with the laws that apply to you.

Can I monitor new listings or price drops?

Yes. Save the run as a task with a daily schedule and compare listingId, price and isPriceDrop between runs.

Is it legal to scrape Property Finder?

The Actor collects public listing data at a polite rate, only loads pages that Property Finder's robots.txt allows, and does not get around logins or captchas. Check Property Finder's terms and the law in your country for your use case.

Is this an official Property Finder product?

No. This is an unofficial, independent tool and is not affiliated with Property Finder. Property Finder is a trademark of its owner.
