Redfin Scraper — US Homes for Sale, Price Cuts & New Listings

Give it US places — a city (Austin, TX), a ZIP code, a borough or neighborhood, or a Redfin page URL — and get one clean row per home for sale: price, beds, baths, size, price per sq ft, lot, year built, HOA, days on market, status, map position and the Redfin link. $1.00 per 1,000 homes, no login, no API key.

Run it again — or put it on a daily schedule — and every row also tells you what changed since the last run: which homes are new, which had a price cut (amount and percent), and a free row for each listing that disappeared. Redfin only shows you today's list; this keeps yesterday's. Every place also gets a free summary row with the counts and the median price.

What you get

Field	What it is
type	home (charged), summary (one per place, free), removed (free), or error (free)
location, place	what you typed, and the place that was searched (for example ZIP 78701, Austin, TX)
propertyId, listingId, url	the home and its redfin.com link
address, city, state, zip, neighborhood	where it is. neighborhood is the neighborhood or subdivision name Redfin prints. address is null when the seller hides it
price, previousPrice, priceChange, priceCutPct	list price, and the change since your previous run. priceChange is negative for a cut, priceCutPct is the cut in percent (only filled for cuts)
isNew, firstSeenDate	true when no earlier run of this search (in the last 90 days) had seen the home, false for a home you have seen before. null on the first run. firstSeenDate is the first day any run of this search saw it
beds, baths, sqFt, pricePerSqFt, lotSize, yearBuilt	as Redfin shows them (lotSize in square feet). null when Redfin has no value, and beds/baths are null for land
hoa	monthly HOA dues in dollars, when the home has them
daysOnMarket, status	days on the market, and Redfin's status: Active, Coming Soon, Price Change… (daysOnMarket is null for homes not on the market yet)
propertyType	house, condo (co-ops included), townhouse, multi-family, land, mobile or other
latitude, longitude	map position
mlsId	the MLS number (or Redfin's id for early-access listings)
newConstruction, listedByRedfin	true for new-construction listings; true when Redfin itself is the listing brokerage
nextOpenHouseStart, nextOpenHouseEnd	the next open house, in UTC, when one is scheduled
observedAt	when this row was read

The summary row has homesRead, homesReturned, newSinceLastRun, removedSinceLastRun, priceCuts, medianPrice, medianPricePerSqFt, complete, homesScannedInArea, comparedWithRunAt and a note. The medians are taken over the homesRead homes, so when complete is false (a home limit cut the list) they describe the newest homes, not the whole area. The removed row has propertyId, url, address, lastPrice and lastSeenAt.

Use it for

• Price-cut alerts — schedule it daily for your target ZIP codes and filter priceCutPct above 0
• New listing monitoring — isNew is true only for homes no earlier run of that search had seen; with Only new listings and price changes on, you pay only for those
• Investors and agents — compare median price and price per sq ft across ZIPs, spot listings that left the market, and export to Sheets or your BI tool
• Lead lists and market reports — a clean, deduplicated list of what is for sale, by area and price band

Places can be a city (Austin, TX), a borough or neighborhood (Brooklyn, NY, Hyde Park, Austin, TX), a ZIP code, or a Redfin city / neighborhood / county / ZIP page URL. A city, neighborhood or county URL returns exactly the homes Redfin lists for that place and is the way to read a whole county. Only the place in the URL is used: filters, sorting and sold or rental pages in the URL are ignored (set the price, bedroom and type inputs here instead). Counties and states cannot be typed by name.

The previous run is remembered per search (the place plus your price, bedroom and type filters) in a named key-value store in your Apify account, so the second run of the same search already shows changes. Schedule it (Apify → Schedules) for a daily history. Changing the max-homes limit or the changes-only switch keeps the history; changing a filter starts a new one. Set includeRemoved to false if you do not want the free removed-listing rows.

Pricing

$1.00 per 1,000 homes, plus $0.01 per run. Summary rows, removed-listing rows and error rows are free. Put all your places in one run and you pay the run fee once. The $0.01 run-start fee is the one charge every run pays, even one that returns nothing.

Notes

• Public data only: what anyone sees on redfin.com without signing in. Agent names, phone numbers and listing descriptions are not returned.
• Newest first. Homes come newest-on-Redfin first, and the read stops as soon as it has Max homes per location matching homes (up to 2,000). A big city lists thousands of homes, so raise the limit or split it into ZIP codes to read everything. Areas with more than about 25,000 listings are read only partly; summary.note says so.
• Price, bedroom and type filters are applied after reading the area's list, because Redfin's list does not filter by itself. A tight filter in a big city reads many listings first, but you are charged only for the rows returned.
• Only homes for sale (active and coming soon). A home that goes under contract or sells leaves the list, so it shows up as removed.
• Removed listings are counted only when every matching home was read (summary.complete is true), so a limit that cuts the list short gives removedSinceLastRun: null. A removed row means the home left your search: under contract, sold, withdrawn, or no longer matching your filters. At most 500 removed rows are written per place; the count in the summary is complete. A run where part of the list could not be read is also complete: false.
• When your previous run did not read every home, isNew is not set for homes that were already listed before that run. First run of a search: all comparison fields are null. A home that left and comes back within 90 days is not new again (it keeps its firstSeenDate and shows the price change).
• Where a typed place comes from. Redfin has no public place search, so the Actor first finds the outline of the place, then reads Redfin's lists for points inside it:
  • ZIP codes (78701): the US Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Area outline (TIGERweb).
  • City, ST (Austin, TX, Cambridge, MA, Spring, TX, Brooklyn, NY): the Census Bureau's outline of that city, town, village, township, borough or census-designated place. Merged city-county governments are found under their usual name (Louisville, KY, Nashville, TN, Indianapolis, IN). The state can be written TX, Texas, or left glued on (Austin TX); a name without a state (Seattle) is also answered by the Census Bureau when only one state has a place with that name.
  • Neighborhoods and anything the Census Bureau does not list as a place (Hyde Park, Austin, TX, Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA): OpenStreetMap's Nominatim search, asked at most once per second with an identifying user agent, and at most 50 such lookups per run. A name that exists in several states and has no state (Springfield) goes there too and returns the best-known one; the place field shows which, so add the state when you want a specific one.
  • Redfin page URLs need no lookup at all.
  • If the Census Bureau service does not answer, a typed place falls back to OpenStreetMap (a ZIP code cannot), and that fallback answer is remembered for one day only, so the next run asks the Census Bureau again. Every other lookup is remembered in your store for 180 days, so a schedule does not repeat it.
  • Data credit: this product uses the US Census Bureau's TIGERweb boundary services but is not endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau. Place outlines are simplified. It also uses OpenStreetMap data (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL).
• Reading a place. Redfin's lists overlap near city borders, so the Actor looks up several points inside the place and merges the lists they return; a ZIP that crosses city lines is read the same way. For unincorporated communities (census-designated places such as Spring, TX) the Census outline is only a statistical area, narrower than the community Redfin lists, so the points are spread over the box around it and homes are kept when they sit inside the outline or when Redfin names the same city. A typed city takes 5 to 20 seconds. A city that Redfin splits into many overlapping areas (for example Cambridge, MA) is probed at up to about 140 points and takes one to four minutes (a community next to a big metro such as The Woodlands, TX reads several large lists), as does a ZIP code inside a very large city (for example Manhattan, whose whole list of about 19,500 homes has to be read). Homes along such borders can still be missed: for an exact list of a city, neighborhood or county, paste its Redfin page URL. If a name is ambiguous, add the state (Paris, TX). Boundaries are simplified, so a home within a few hundred meters of a border can land on the wrong side.
• Some fields are filled only sometimes: hoa (homes with dues), lotSize (not for most condos), sqFt and pricePerSqFt (not for land or when the seller does not give a size), nextOpenHouse* (only when scheduled), price (a few sellers hide it; such homes drop out when you set a price limit), address (hidden by some sellers).
• New-construction floor plans (newConstruction: true) often have the plan name instead of a street address, for example Camden Plan.
• Not affiliated with Redfin. Listing data belongs to Redfin and the listing MLSs.
