#### 🎉 Trade Me Property Scraper - Launch!

- **Nine Property Sections, One Dropdown** - Scrape Trade Me houses for sale, rentals, lifestyle blocks, rural, new homes, commercial for sale, commercial for lease, retirement villages and this week's open homes from a single form.
- **No Page Ceiling** - 500 listings a request and a search that runs as deep as the section goes, so the whole New Zealand for-sale index is one job rather than 40 suburb-sized ones.
- **Agent Directory Operation** - 10,672 licensed New Zealand real-estate agents with office phone, mobile, agency, profile photo and their live and sold counts.
- **Private Sellers Included and Flagged** - Trade Me is the one large NZ portal owners can list on without an agent, and those rows arrive marked so you can keep them or drop them.
- **Place Names Instead of Location IDs** - Type a region, a district or a suburb the way you would on the site and it resolves against Trade Me's own place index before the search runs.
- **Nearby Sale Prices and Rateable Values** - The detail option adds the comparable sales and area average Trade Me prints beside a listing, alongside the council RV where one is published.
- **Rentals Priced Per Week** - Rent per week, availability date, maximum tenants and a pets filter on 12,000 live NZ tenancies.

#### 💎 User Benefits

- A New Zealand property dataset in about a minute, with no API key and no Trade Me account to set up.
- One run answers a whole region, so market monitoring on a schedule costs a filter change rather than a rebuild.
- Agency phone numbers and named agents ride along on every search row, so lead lists fall out of ordinary listing work.
- Coordinates, floor area and land area in m² on flat rows, ready for a map, a valuation model or a CRM import.
- Pay per row delivered at $3.00 per 1,000 listings, and never for a failed one.

#### 🎯 Use Cases

- Property analysts tracking Auckland, Wellington or Canterbury week by week with a listed-within filter and newest-first sorting.
- Proptech vendors and agency recruiters building New Zealand real-estate agent contact lists from the licensed agent directory.
- Buy-to-let investors pairing a rental sweep with a for-sale sweep of the same suburb to size gross yield.
- Valuers and agents pricing a home against the recent nearby sales and rateable values on comparable NZ listings.
- Farm buyers, developers and commercial brokers searching lifestyle blocks, rural land and commercial leases the same way houses are searched.
