US Housing Market Trends — Zillow Home Values & Rents 🏠

Clean home-value and rent market data from Zillow Research — by metro, city, ZIP, county, state or neighborhood. No scraping, no API key, no anti-bot.

Everyone wants "Zillow data," but scraping Zillow's listings site means anti-bot walls, proxies and ToS headaches. This actor uses Zillow Research's public data instead — the same Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) and Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI) economists cite — delivered clean, no scraping.

Get a current snapshot (value + 1-month & 1-year change per region) or the full monthly history back to 2000.

Perfect for real-estate analytics, investors, PropTech, market research, dashboards and reports.

Data comes from Zillow Research public CSVs (research market data, not the listings site) — no key, no login, very low maintenance.

Notes & limitations

• Source: Zillow Research public data (ZHVI/ZORI). Attribution to Zillow is appreciated.
• City / ZIP / neighborhood files cover tens of thousands of regions — use filters and maxResults to scope; large pulls take longer.
• This is market-trend index data, not individual property listings.
• (Redfin Data Center market metrics could be added as a future source.)
