FSBO Scraper

Pull For Sale By Owner listings from FSBO.com at scale — direct seller names, prices, addresses, photos, beds/baths/sqft, lat/lng, full descriptions, HOA fees, year built, and seller phone numbers extracted from listing text. Covers all 50 US states plus DC across a live catalog of more than 20,000 active owner-listed properties. Built for real estate investors sourcing off-MLS deals, lead-generation agencies hunting direct-owner contacts, and market analysts tracking FSBO inventory shifts without paying for MLS subscriptions or building their own scraper.

Why This Scraper?

• 3x cheaper than the leading competitor — $5.00 per 1,000 results, down to $4.25 on the Gold discount tier, against $15.00 for the nearest FSBO extractor on the Apify Store, with at least as many fields per row.
• All 50 US states plus DC, 20,000+ live listings — every state returns results, from Florida and Texas at the deep end (2,000+ and 1,500+ listings each) down to Rhode Island and DC with a couple of dozen apiece.
• Multi-location runs in one invocation — mix state names ("Florida"), 2-letter codes ("FL"), city+state ("Austin, TX"), and 5-digit ZIPs ("78641") in a single searchLocations array.
• Owner names, not agent names — sellerName carries the seller's own name on every owner-claimed listing, a field MLS-aggregator scrapers never carry at all. State-wide sweeps of Florida and Texas came back with it filled on more than 60% of rows, and roughly one row in three across all search types. A best-effort sellerPhone is pulled from the listing text on top.
• Latitude and longitude on every row — stitched into the output so you can map results, geofence by drive-time, or compute distance-to-feature in your own pipeline.
• Seven property type filters — Single Family, Condo, Townhouse, Multi-Family, Mobile / Manufactured Home, Land / Lot, or Other (mixed-use).
• Pre-computed pricePerSqft and daysOnMarket — price per square foot on every row that carries a square-footage figure, which is the large majority of them, and days on market wherever FSBO.com publishes a list date, so your downstream queries skip the math.
• Inline photo arrays — every photo the seller uploaded, as absolute URLs with sort order and primary-photo flags preserved. Most listings carry a single photo; premium-plan sellers routinely post 30 or more, and the deepest galleries run past 150.
• Friendly zero-result messaging — runs that return no matches name the locations and filters tried in the status message, so you can copy-paste an alternative without digging through logs.

Getting Started

Simple State Sweep

The simplest possible run — pull the first 100 active FSBO listings in Florida:

{
    "searchLocations": ["Florida"],
    "maxResults": 100
}

Multi-Location with Filters

Mix a state, a city, and a ZIP in one run, narrowed to single-family homes between $250k and $750k with at least 3 beds:

{
    "searchLocations": ["TX", "Austin, TX", "78641"],
    "propertyType": "single_family",
    "minPrice": 250000,
    "maxPrice": 750000,
    "minBeds": 3,
    "maxResults": 500
}

Cheap Fast Card-Level Run

Skip the per-listing lookup when you only need card-level data (price, full address, beds/baths/sqft, year built, description, primary photo). Owner names need the full lookup, so leave it on if you are building a contact list:

{
    "searchLocations": ["California"],
    "includePropertyDetails": false,
    "maxResults": 1000
}

Paste a URL or Sweep Everything

Copy a search results page or a listing page straight out of your browser's address bar, or set maxResults to 0 to sweep an entire small-inventory state:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://fsbo.com/search/list/miami-fl",
        "https://fsbo.com/search/123-main-st-austin-tx-78701"
    ],
    "searchLocations": ["Vermont"],
    "maxResults": 0
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste FSBO.com URLs copied from your browser: a results page (https://fsbo.com/search/list/state/fl, https://fsbo.com/search/list/miami-fl/land) or a single listing page. Search filters in the URL (state, city, price, beds, type) are honored as-is. Mix freely with searchLocations.
searchLocations	string[]	["Florida"]	Search by US state name ("Florida"), 2-letter code ("FL"), city + state ("Austin, TX"), or 5-digit ZIP ("78641"). Add multiple entries to sweep several markets in one run.

Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
propertyType	select	All Types	All Types, Single Family Home, Condo, Townhouse, Multi-Family, Mobile / Manufactured Home, Land / Lot, or Other (mixed-use, unusual). Applies to search locations only.
minPrice	integer	null	Only return listings priced at or above this amount in USD. Leave blank for no minimum.
maxPrice	integer	null	Only return listings priced at or below this amount in USD. Leave blank for no maximum.
minBeds	integer	null	Only return listings with at least this many bedrooms. Ignored for Land and Other.
minBaths	integer	null	Only return listings with at least this many bathrooms. Ignored for Land and Other.

Output

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
includePropertyDetails	boolean	true	Open each listing to capture the owner's name, county, neighborhood, school district, lot size, HOA fee, room-level features, and the complete photo array. Disable for faster, cheaper card-level runs — price, address, beds/baths/sqft, year built, description, and the primary photo all still come through.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Hard cap on total listings across all URLs and searches. Set to 0 for no cap. The run stops exactly on this number, so you are never charged for more listings than you asked for. Caps below 50 return the first page of results, the smallest page FSBO.com serves.

Output

One flat row per listing — no nested children, no duplicate rows. Photos are inlined as an array of absolute URLs.

Tips for Best Results

• City names need a state. Use "Austin, TX", not just "Austin" — bare city names cross-collide across states and are rejected. State name alone ("Florida") or 2-letter code ("FL") is fine for state-wide sweeps.
• Smaller-inventory states are catalog-exhaustible. Vermont, Wyoming, and North Dakota each sit around 100 active listings, and Rhode Island and DC under 25. Set maxResults: 0 to sweep one of them completely — the run stops cleanly when the catalog ends.
• Toggle includePropertyDetails for speed vs. depth. Off gives you fast card-level rows (price, address, beds/baths/sqft, year built, description, primary photo). On adds owner names, county, school district, lot size, HOA fees, room-level features, and the complete photo array.
• Claimed listings are the gold standard for lead generation. Every row with isUnclaimed: false carries the seller's real name in sellerName, and every row with isUnclaimed: true does not. It's a clean split with no partial cases, so filtering on that single flag gives you a contact list with no empty rows in it. Broad state sweeps return the most names.
• sellerPhone is best-effort from the listing text. It only appears when the seller typed a 10-digit number into their own write-up, which is about 1 row in 12. Treat sellerName as the reliable owner-identity field and the phone as a bonus.
• ZIP codes are for pinning a neighborhood, not for volume. FSBO inventory is thin per ZIP: even the densest ZIPs carry only around 20 listings and plenty carry none at all. Use a ZIP when you want one exact pocket of a metro, and "Austin, TX" or "TX" when you want a workable sample size.
• Mix startUrls and searchLocations in one run. Paste a few specific listing URLs you already know about alongside broader location sweeps, and they all flow into the same dataset.

Pricing

From $4.25 per 1,000 results — $5.00 undiscounted, still roughly 3x cheaper than the leading FSBO scraper on the Apify Store at $15.00 per 1,000. No compute or time-based charges: you pay per result, plus a small fixed start fee each time a run begins. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less, and the table below shows the total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.50	$0.475	$0.45	$0.425
1,000	$5.00	$4.75	$4.50	$4.25
10,000	$50.00	$47.50	$45.00	$42.50
100,000	$500.00	$475.00	$450.00	$425.00

A "result" is any property row in the output dataset. The per-run start fee and standard platform fees (storage, data transfer) are additional and depend on your Apify plan.
