German Foreclosure Scraper (ZVG Portal)

This Actor scrapes the official ZVG-Portal (Zwangsversteigerung) to extract accurate data on upcoming real estate auctions. It is designed for real estate investors, "Fix & Flip" professionals, and analysts looking for properties selling below market value.

🚀 Why use this Scraper?

The official ZVG website is difficult to navigate, has no API, and uses complex session cookies that block standard scrapers. This Actor solves that by:

• Bypassing Session Restrictions automatically.
• Cleaning "Verkehrswert" (Market Value) into pure numbers for Excel analysis.
• Structuring messy data into a clean JSON/Excel/CSV format.

🎯 Use Cases

• Investment Analysis: Filter for properties where Verkehrswert is > €500k but starting bids are low.
• Automated Deal Finding: Run this scraper daily to catch new listings in Berlin or Munich before competitors.
• Market Research: Analyze foreclosure trends across different German states.

💰 Smart Calculations

We automatically calculate the critical bidding limits for you:

• Min Bid (50%): The absolute minimum bid required by law.
• Safety Margin (70%): The threshold where creditors can object to a bid.

💡 Tips for Investors

• Filtering: You can select specific states (Bundesland) in the input settings (e.g., Berlin, Bayern).
• Min Value Filter: Set a Minimum Market Value (e.g., 500,000 €) in the input to automatically ignore small properties.
• Proxy: This scraper is optimized to run with standard Apify Datacenter proxies.

}

> **Note:** The `detail_url` and `file_url` are automatically downloaded and stored in your Apify Key-Value Store. The links provided in the dataset are public, permanent links to these saved copies, ensuring you can always access the content even without a session. The `status` field indicates whether an auction is "active" or "cancelled". Cancelled auctions are included in the results but marked with `status: "cancelled"` and include a `cancellation_reason` field.
