❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Featured and Sitemap modes?

Featured mode pulls the ~20 rotating homepage listings with full data (price, beds, baths, image). Sitemap mode pulls thousands of historical URLs with address-level data extracted from the URL slug, but no price/beds/baths.

How fresh are the Featured-mode listings?

Updated continuously by ForSaleByOwner; the homepage rotation reflects the most recently active or featured listings.

Are listings from individual U.S. states available?

Yes. The stateFilter parameter applies to both modes.

Are seller contact details included?

Sellers' contact info is on the listing detail page, which is JS-rendered and not part of this Actor's output. Use the url field to navigate to the detail page in a browser for contact info.

How many sitemap listings are available?

The current sitemap exposes ~8,000 unique listings, but many are historical/inactive. Featured-mode listings are guaranteed-active.
