## Changelog

All notable changes to the Homes.com Property Scraper will be documented in this file.

### \[2026-09-10] — Reliability fix

#### 🛠️ Fixes

- **A failed search no longer looks like an empty one** — when the data service can't complete a request, you now get a clear message saying so instead of a successful run with zero results.
- **Temporary refusals are ridden out** — short-lived rate limits and blocks are retried automatically instead of ending the run.

### \[2026-08-29]

#### 🔧 Fixed — Runs return property rows, and Listing Status is filled in

- **A failed lookup no longer takes the place of your results** — when a query came back with nothing, the dataset could end up holding a single internal run-bookkeeping row and no property data at all, which read like one unusable record. That row is now only ever attached next to real rows, so an empty run is plainly empty and a good run is all data.
- **Listing Status now populates on property detail rows** — the `status` column (For Sale / For Rent / Recently Sold / Off Market) came back blank on every enriched detail lookup. It is filled in again, so you can sort, filter and group by status straight from the dataset instead of deriving it yourself.
- **Dataset tabs now show columns that carry values** — the preview offered an Amenities tab whose columns were empty on every row. It is replaced by an **Agents** tab (name, agent ID, office, phone, email, license, profile URL), and the property columns were realigned to the fields a run actually delivers: home facts, the full feature list, public records, open houses and listing agents.

#### 💎 User Benefits

- Open a run and read property rows, never a lone bookkeeping record.
- Filter and sort by listing status with no post-processing.
- Every tab you click and every CSV or Excel export arrives with populated columns.

### \[2026-06-13]

#### 🎉 Trulia Property Scraper - Launch!

- **10 Lookup Modes in One Actor** - Search Trulia by location, ZIP, coordinates or URL; look up any home by listing ID, URL or address; pull neighborhood amenities, comparable homes and location autocomplete.
- **Neighborhood Intelligence Built In** - Every enriched detail returns nearby amenities, schools with ratings, demographics, neighborhood ratings, price history, taxes and HOA — not just the listing card.
- **For Sale + For Rent + Sold** - One switch covers active sales, rentals and recently-sold comps for full US real estate coverage.
- **Comparable Homes (Comps)** - Instant comp set for any Trulia listing, built for valuation and offer prep.
- **Built-In Market KPIs + HTML Report** - Median price, price-per-sqft distribution and city / status / type breakdowns on every run.

#### 💎 User Benefits

- Get a full neighborhood dossier per property — the data most Trulia tools leave behind.
- Cross-validate prices, beds/baths and status against independent US listings sources.
