HUD Home Store Scraper

Pull government-owned foreclosed home listings from HUD Home Store at scale — case numbers, full addresses, list prices, beds and baths, FHA insurability, bid-opening dates, and up to 46 photos per home across all 50 US states. Built for real estate investors, buyer's agents, and FHA owner-occupant buyers who need a clean, structured feed of HUD foreclosures without checking the .gov portal one state at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• All 50 US states plus DC and three territories — 54 HUD jurisdictions (including Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam) selectable from a full-name multi-select, no abbreviations to memorize.
• FHA insurability on every home — each listing is tagged Insured, Insured with Escrow, or Uninsured, so you instantly know whether a property qualifies for an FHA loan as-is or needs repairs first.
• HUD case number as a stable primary key — the official case number (e.g. 495-893204) lands on every row, ready to join against bid systems, broker portals, and your own CRM.
• Three live bid dates per home — list date, bid-open date, and period deadline, all normalized to ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) so you never miss an offer window.
• $100 Down program flag — a dedicated program100Down boolean surfaces homes eligible for HUD's $100-down FHA financing, the single most-asked-about HUD incentive.
• Up to 46 photos per listing — the full Cloudinary photo gallery plus a primary thumbnail, ready for slide decks, valuations, and listing sites.
• Six client-side filters that scope the whole result set — price min/max, bedrooms min/max, bathrooms min, three property types, listing highlight, and FHA financing type, all applied across every search.
• Indoor and outdoor amenities, parking, stories, and eligible bidder categories — the detail HUD shows buyers (Investor, Owner Occupant, Nonprofit, Government Agency) captured as clean arrays on each home.

Input Reference

What to Search

At least one of these is needed.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
states	array (select)	["TX"]	US states to search for HUD homes. Pick one or more. Leave empty if you are searching by city/ZIP terms or pasting listing URLs instead.
searchTerms	array (string)	[]	Search terms such as a city with its state ("Houston, TX"). Each term is searched on its own. For best results use the "City, ST" format — a bare ZIP code on its own often returns no homes, so pair it with a city and state.
startUrls	array (string)	[]	Paste HUD Home Store listing or search-result URLs to scrape them directly. Use this if you already have specific pages in mind.

Filters

Narrow results before they are collected so you do not pay for homes you do not want. Leave a filter empty to ignore it.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
priceMin	integer	(none)	Only return homes listed at or above this price. Leave empty for no minimum.
priceMax	integer	(none)	Only return homes listed at or below this price. Leave empty for no maximum.
bedroomsMin	integer	(none)	Only return homes with at least this many bedrooms. Leave empty for any.
bedroomsMax	integer	(none)	Only return homes with at most this many bedrooms. Leave empty for any.
bathroomsMin	number	(none)	Only return homes with at least this many bathrooms. Half-baths are allowed (e.g. 1.5). Leave empty for any.
propertyTypes	array (select)	[]	Only return these kinds of homes: Single Family Home, Condominium, or Manufactured Home. Leave empty to include all property types.
propertyStatus	select	(none)	Only return homes with a specific listing highlight: New Listing, Price Reduced, or Vacant Lot Commission. Leave empty for all listings.
fhaFinancing	select	(none)	Filter by FHA insurability: FHA Insured, FHA Insured with Escrow, or FHA Uninsured. Insured homes qualify for an FHA loan as-is, Insured with Escrow set aside repair funds, and Uninsured homes need repairs before financing. Leave empty for all.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of homes to return across all searches. Collection stops once this number is reached, so the final page may slightly overshoot the limit. Set to 0 for no limit.

Tips for Best Results

• Use "City, ST", never a bare ZIP — a ZIP code on its own (e.g. 78840) often returns no homes on HUD's search. Pair it with a city and state, like "Del Rio, TX", to get results every time.
• Start with one state and a small maxResults — run 50–100 first to confirm the data fits your needs, then scale up to multiple states.
• Filter on FHA financing to match your strategy — choose FHA Insured for owner-occupant buyers who want move-in-ready financing, or FHA Uninsured for investors targeting repair-and-resell deals.
• Combine state and city searches in one run — list several states in states and add specific cities in searchTerms to widen or pinpoint coverage at the same time.
• Watch bidOpenDate for owner-occupant windows — HUD gives owner-occupants priority before investors; sort by bid-open date to plan submissions inside that window.
• Use propertyStatus: "price_reduced" to surface motivated sellers — price-reduced HUD homes signal listings that have been on the market and may take a lower offer.
• Dedupe is automatic — overlapping state and city searches that return the same home are merged on case number, so you never pay for a duplicate row.
