MyHome.ie Property Details Scraper: Extract Complete Irish Real Estate Data

Understanding MyHome.ie and the Irish Property Market

MyHome.ie dominates Ireland's online property market as the country's most-visited real estate portal. The platform aggregates listings from estate agents, private landlords, and property developers across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, making it the primary resource for understanding Irish property trends, pricing dynamics, and market availability.

The Irish property market has unique characteristics that make this data particularly valuable. Building Energy Rating (BER) certificates are mandatory for all properties advertised for sale or rent, providing standardized energy efficiency data. Irish property classifications include distinctions like pre-1963 buildings (which have different regulations) and new builds eligible for Help-to-Buy schemes. Geographic data is organized by regions, localities, and Eircodes (Irish postcodes), enabling precise location-based analysis.

Manually collecting property data is inefficient when analyzing market trends, conducting valuations, or monitoring inventory across multiple areas. This scraper automates the extraction process, delivering structured data ready for analysis, database integration, or automated property alerts.

What This Scraper Extracts and Who Uses It

The MyHome.ie Property Details Scraper captures complete information from individual property listing pages. Beyond basic details like price and bedrooms, it extracts Irish-specific data including BER ratings, Eircode locations, property classes, viewing schedules, and multiple media formats from photos to 3D virtual tours.

Estate agents and property management companies use this data to conduct competitive market analysis, benchmark their listings against competitors, and identify pricing trends. Property developers track competing developments, analyze feature preferences, and monitor market saturation in target areas. Investment firms and REITs require comprehensive market data for portfolio decisions, valuation models, and identifying acquisition opportunities.

Market researchers gain insights into supply dynamics, price movements by region and property type, and emerging trends like virtual viewing adoption. Proptech companies integrate this data into property search platforms, valuation tools, and recommendation engines. Mortgage brokers and financial advisors use it to provide clients with accurate market context for purchase decisions.

Input Configuration Explained

The scraper accepts URLs from MyHome.ie property detail pages. These are individual listing pages showing complete property information, identifiable by the /residential/brochure/ path followed by property address and ID.

Input Structure:

{
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  },
  "urls": [
    "https://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/27-cedar-avenue-the-gallops-latt-co-cavan/4967702"
  ]
}

Example Screenshot:

Proxy Configuration: Residential proxies prevent detection as automated traffic. While any country works, Irish or UK proxies may provide faster response times and better reliability when accessing Irish websites. The scraper rotates IPs automatically to distribute requests naturally.

URLs Array: Include multiple property URLs to scrape dozens or hundreds of listings in one run. Each URL should be a complete property detail page, not search results or agent profile pages. The scraper processes URLs sequentially, extracting all available data fields from each listing.

Comprehensive Output Fields and Their Applications

The scraper returns JSON objects containing 70+ fields per property. Understanding these fields enables effective data utilization.

Core Property Information:

Property ID and Legacy Identifier uniquely identify each listing for tracking and database management. Display Address and Ordered Display Address show the formatted property location, while Address contains the full structured address. Eircode provides Ireland's postal code for precise geocoding.

Property Type and Property Type ID categorize the property (house, apartment, site, etc.). Property Class ID indicates sale/rent status, while Property Status ID shows availability (sale agreed, under offer, withdrawn). Sale Type ID distinguishes between private treaty sales, auctions, and other transaction types.

Pricing and Size Data:

Price contains the numerical asking price, while Price As String includes formatted currency display. This dual format supports both computational analysis and user presentation. For properties with flexible pricing (POA - Price on Application), these fields capture the display text.

Min Size and Max Size provide square footage/meterage, with Size String Meters offering formatted display. Ranges accommodate properties sold as combined units or with variable layouts. Beds String and Bath String contain bedroom and bathroom counts formatted for display, while Bathrooms, Floors, and Rooms provide structured numerical data.

Energy Efficiency Information:

BER Rating contains the official Building Energy Rating (A1-G scale), mandatory for Irish properties. Min Energy Rating and Max Energy Rating accommodate properties with multiple units having different ratings. Energy Rating Media Path links to the official BER certificate PDF.

This energy data is crucial for Irish buyers as BER ratings significantly impact property values, mortgage eligibility, and running costs. Properties with poor ratings may require retrofit investments, while high ratings command price premiums.

Media and Visual Content:

Main Photo and Main Photo X provide primary listing images. Photos contains an array of all property images, with Photo Count indicating total quantity. Images offers structured image data with URLs and metadata.

Floor Plans provides architectural drawings, essential for spatial planning. PDFs includes brochures, surveys, or additional documentation.

Virtual content has become standard in Irish property marketing. Virtual Tour Eye Spy, Virtual Tour Kuula, Virtual Tour Giraffe 360, and Viewett capture various 3D tour platforms. Matterport provides immersive 3D walkthroughs. Vimeo, Bright Cove, YouTube, and YouTube Rotate contain video URLs, while Video URL serves as a general video field.

Development and Construction Details:

Is New Build flags properties eligible for Help-to-Buy schemes and exempt from certain taxes. Pre 63 identifies older properties subject to different building regulations and potential fire safety certification requirements. Development Logo appears for properties within branded developments.

Property Feature Types lists amenities (garden, parking, heating type, etc.). These features significantly influence value and appeal, making this field valuable for preference analysis and recommendation systems.

Listing Status and Metadata:

Created On Date, Modified On Date, Activated On, and Refreshed On track listing lifecycle. Time-on-market calculations use these timestamps. Refreshed On shows when agents re-promoted listings, indicating potential price flexibility or selling challenges.

Is Premium Ad and Premium Ad Expires On indicate paid promotional status. Is Top Spot flags featured listings. Premium listings receive higher visibility, making this data relevant for understanding market competitiveness and agent investment in particular properties.

Viewing and Contact Information:

Open Viewings and Virtual Viewings contain scheduled viewing times. In the post-pandemic market, virtual viewing availability has become a significant factor for international and relocating buyers.

Brochure Contact Details provides agent information including phone, email, and office details. Negotiator ID identifies specific agents handling the property. This data enables lead generation, agent performance analysis, and direct contact workflows.

Geographic and Market Segmentation:

Region ID and Region Name identify broad areas (Leinster, Munster, Connacht, Ulster). Locality ID and Locality Name provide town or neighborhood specifics. This hierarchical geography supports multi-level market analysis from national trends to hyperlocal pricing.

Is Mapped Accurately indicates geocoding confidence. Properties with precise coordinates enable mapping applications, proximity analysis, and location-based filtering.

Specialized Fields:

Is Private Landlord distinguishes direct landlord listings from agent-managed rentals. Is Transact flags properties marketed through MyHome's transaction platform. Auction List contains auction-specific data for properties sold by tender.

Brochure Content holds the full property description text, rich for natural language processing. Brochure Map provides embedded map data. Custom Data captures non-standard fields specific to certain listings or property types.

Using the Scraper Effectively

Create an Apify account and locate the MyHome.ie Property Details Scraper. Collect property URLs by browsing MyHome.ie or using their search filters to find relevant listings. Copy URLs from individual property pages, ensuring they follow the /residential/brochure/ format.

Configure your input JSON with collected URLs and proxy settings. Residential proxies with appropriate geographic selection provide reliable results. For large-scale scraping, batch URLs into groups of 100-200 for manageable runs and easier error tracking.

Launch the scraper via the Apify console. Processing time scales with URL count, typically handling 50-100 properties in 8-12 minutes. Monitor progress through the execution log and review results in the dataset preview.

Export data in your preferred format. JSON suits database imports and API integration. CSV works for Excel analysis, though complex fields like arrays may require preprocessing. Set up scheduled runs to track new listings, price changes, or market inventory evolution.

Error Handling: The scraper includes retry logic for temporary failures. Persistent errors usually indicate invalid URLs (search pages instead of property pages), removed listings, or rate limiting. The activity log details specific failures for troubleshooting.

Practical Applications Across Real Estate Operations

Market Analysis: Track pricing trends by property type, location, and features. Identify overvalued or undervalued listings by comparing similar properties. Monitor inventory levels to detect supply shortages or surpluses indicating market shifts.

Competitive Intelligence: Estate agents benchmark their listings against competitors' prices, descriptions, and photography quality. Analyze which features and presentation styles correlate with faster sales or higher prices.

Property Valuation: Build automated valuation models (AVMs) using comparable sales data. BER ratings, sizes, and location data enable regression models predicting property values. Time-series analysis of price movements improves forecast accuracy.

Investment Analysis: Identify underpriced properties for flipping or rental portfolios. Calculate rental yields by comparing purchase prices with rental listings in the same area. Geographic clustering analysis reveals emerging investment hotspots.

Lead Generation: Extract agent contact details for B2B prospecting. Identify private landlords for property management services. Monitor new listings matching client criteria for immediate alerts.

Market Research: Analyze adoption rates of virtual tours and premium ads by region. Track new build supply versus resale inventory. Study how BER ratings affect pricing across different property types and locations.

Proptech Integration: Feed data into property recommendation engines, valuation tools, or market analysis dashboards. Combine with mortgage calculators, stamp duty estimators, and affordability tools for comprehensive buyer platforms.

Best Practices for Sustainable Data Collection

Establish regular scraping schedules aligned with market dynamics. Daily scraping captures new listings and price changes immediately. Weekly schedules suit longer-term trend analysis with lower computational costs.

Implement deduplication logic based on Property ID to avoid storing identical records. Track changes by comparing Modified On Date and Refreshed On timestamps. Store historical data to enable time-series analysis of price movements and market trends.

Validate data quality by checking for required fields, reasonable price ranges, and valid BER ratings. Set alerts for anomalies like properties with unusually low prices (potential data errors) or missing critical information.

Enrich scraped data with external sources. Combine MyHome.ie listings with planning permission data, Census demographics, crime statistics, or transport infrastructure developments for comprehensive location intelligence.

Respect MyHome.ie's infrastructure by using appropriate rate limiting. The scraper handles technical aspects of polite scraping, but avoid overwhelming the platform with excessive concurrent requests. This ensures continued access to this valuable data source.

Consider legal compliance for data usage. While scraping publicly available data is generally permissible, ensure your use case complies with GDPR for EU data processing, respects intellectual property in property descriptions and images, and adheres to terms of service for commercial applications.
