Auction.com Property Scraper 🏠

Find the right auction deals fast. No code. No logins. Just copy an Auction.com URL, paste it here, and get a clean list you can open in Excel.

💰 Pricing & Limits

Pay-per-event pricing model:

• Actor start – $0.50
• Dataset item – $0.01 per property

Usage limits:

• Free users: Maximum 100 properties per run
• All users: Maximum 500 properties per run

Technical limitation: Auction.com only displays the first 500 results on their website, so this is the maximum number of properties that can be collected per search.

Example costs:

• 100 properties: $0.50 + (100 × $0.01) = $1.50
• 500 properties: $0.50 + (500 × $0.01) = $5.50

Why this helps ⚡

• Save hours: Stop clicking through listings one by one.
• Hit your buy box: Filter by beds, baths, size, type, and sale type.
• Catch auctions on time: See dates, status, and location in one place.
• Ready for Excel/CRM: Download results as CSV or JSON from Apify.
• Runs on a schedule: Set it to pull new deals daily or weekly.
• Cost-effective: Starting at just $1.50 for 100 properties, much cheaper than manual research.

Who it's for 👥

• Real estate investors and acquisitions teams
• Brokers and wholesalers who need fresh distressed inventory
• Analysts doing market scans or comping auction deals

How it works (1 minute) ⏱️

1. Go to Auction.com: Visit auction.com and apply your desired filters (location, property type, price range, etc.).
2. Copy the URL: Once you see the filtered results, copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
3. Paste and run: Paste the URL into the scraper and click start. Results land in an Apify dataset ready for download.

Note: Due to Auction.com's website limitations, each search can return a maximum of 500 properties.
