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 roughly 11,600 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 — flat $5.00 per 1,000 results vs. $15.00 elsewhere on the Apify Store, with at least as many fields per row.
• All 50 US states plus DC, ~11,600 active listings — Florida alone carries ~1,378 properties across ~28 pages, Texas and California at similar scale.
• Multi-location runs in one invocation — mix state names ("Florida"), 2-letter codes ("FL"), city+state ("Austin, TX"), and 5-digit ZIPs ("33629") in a single searchLocations array.
• Direct seller contact on every claimed listing — owner's name in sellerName on the ~5% of listings posted directly by sellers (a field MLS-aggregator scrapers never carry), plus a best-effort sellerPhone extracted from the listing description text.
• 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).
• Derived pricePerSqft and daysOnMarket on every listing — pre-computed so your downstream queries skip the math.
• Inline photo arrays — typically 10 absolute photo URLs per listing, up to ~50 on premium-plan listings, with sort order and primary-photo flags preserved.
• 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", "33629"],
    "propertyType": "single_family",
    "minPrice": 250000,
    "maxPrice": 750000,
    "minBeds": 3,
    "maxResults": 500
}

Cheap Fast Card-Level Run

Skip the per-listing detail fetch when you only need card-level data (price, address, beds/baths/sqft, primary photo, seller name on claimed listings):

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

Paste a URL or Sweep Everything

Paste FSBO.com search or listing URLs directly, or set maxResults to 0 to sweep an entire small-inventory state:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://fsbo.com/buy/fl/miami",
        "https://fsbo.com/listing/example-slug-123"
    ],
    "searchLocations": ["Vermont"],
    "maxResults": 0
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste FSBO.com search or listing URLs directly. 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 ("78701"). 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	Visit each listing's detail page to capture full description, every photo URL, lot size, year built, HOA fee, and seller phone. Disable for faster, cheaper card-level runs.

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 requesting new pages once the cap is reached but keeps the full final page even if it slightly overshoots.

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. States like Vermont and Wyoming often carry fewer than 100 active listings. Set maxResults: 0 to sweep them completely — the run stops cleanly when the catalog ends.
• Toggle includePropertyDetails for speed vs. depth. Turn it off for fast card-level runs (price, address, beds/baths/sqft, primary photo). Turn it on to capture full descriptions, every photo URL, HOA fees, year built, and the regex-extracted seller phone.
• Claimed listings are the gold standard for lead generation. The ~5% of listings with isUnclaimed: false carry the seller's real name in sellerName. Filter your dataset on this flag to build clean direct-owner contact lists.
• sellerPhone is best-effort from description text. It's populated only when the seller embedded a 10-digit number in their listing pitch — expect this to be null on the majority of rows. The contactName source is independent and far more reliable.
• ZIP codes return tight, focused result sets. A single ZIP like "78701" typically returns under 50 listings — perfect for hyper-local market analysis without paginating large state sweeps.
• 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

$5.00 per 1,000 results — flat, pay-per-result pricing roughly 3x cheaper than the leading FSBO scraper on the Apify Store ($15.00 per 1,000). No compute charges — you only pay per result returned.

Results	Estimated Cost
100	$0.50
1,000	$5.00
10,000	$50.00
100,000	$500.00

A "result" is any property row in the output dataset. Platform fees (storage, data transfer) are additional and depend on your Apify plan.
