Find motivated home sellers on Craigslist: for-sale-by-owner real estate, scored by how likely the seller is to need help (price cuts, long time on market, owner financing, "must sell" language). Built for investors, wholesalers and agents who want seller leads, not another raw Craigslist dump.

This is the Craigslist sibling of Motivated Seller Leads (ForSaleByOwner). Same output shape, so you can merge the two into one call list.

What you get per lead

Street address, city, price, and the signals that matter:

  • motivationScore (0-100) and motivationReasons
  • isPriceReduced when the ad says the price dropped
  • daysOnMarket from the posting date
  • leaseToOwn (owner financing / rent-to-own)
  • phone when the owner printed a number in the ad body
  • beds, baths, sqft, lot size, photos, description

Rental ads, "investors needed" spam, and wholesale-training posts are dropped so the dataset stays a seller list.

Inputs

InputWhat it does
citiesCraigslist boards: austin, dallas, newyork, sfbay, or Austin, TX.
statesSweep every major board in those states (Texas is austin, dallas, houston, sanantonio, and the rest of the big metros).
propertyTypesOptional: house / condo / townhouse / multi-family / land. Empty = all.
onlyPriceReducedOnly ads that say the price was dropped.
minDaysOnMarketOnly postings sitting at least this many days.
minMotivationScoreOnly leads scoring at least this (0 = all, 40+ = clearly motivated).
enrichDetailsOpen each posting for address, date and phone. On by default.
maxItemsOptional cap. Blank = pull everything matching.

About owner phone

Craigslist hides most numbers behind a "show contact info" button. This actor does not guess. If the owner wrote a phone in the ad text, it is filled; otherwise phone is null and you skip-trace on the street address (the same workflow as the ForSaleByOwner sibling).

How it works

Each selected city board is queried as real-estate by owner (/search/rea?purveyor=owner). The search page is plain HTML (no login). Each posting is then opened for the address, posted date, description and any phone in the body. Listings are scored, filtered, and streamed out as they go.

Use cases

  • Wholesalers / investors building a call list of off-MLS owners.
  • Agents hunting for-sale-by-owner sellers who already cut the price or are offering owner financing.
  • Combining with the ForSaleByOwner motivated-seller actor for the same market.
