Real estate data

Property listing data, delivered to spec

Production-grade listing data: composable, not packaged. Build it yourself on Zyte API, or have it delivered to spec by Zyte Data. Same foundation, your choice of who runs the pipeline.

The basics

What is real estate data?

Real estate data is the structured record of a property as it's listed for sale or rent online: its address, price, specs, media, status and the agent or office behind it. It's collected from public listing pages across portals, brokerage sites, and agent directories, then normalized into a consistent schema. Because the same property can appear differently on every site, and its price and status change constantly, the value is in keeping that record accurate and current, not in the raw page.

The hard part

Why real estate data is hard at scale

The problem is rarely a single listing. It's keeping thousands of them flowing, correctly, while the sites underneath keep changing.

Site changes break parsers overnight

Zyte validates every feed run against your agreed schema.

Price and status render in JavaScript

Zyte renders pages the way a real browser does, so client-side price and status changes are captured reliably — not a stale placeholder.

The same property, priced differently everywhere

Zyte timestamps every price it collects and flags which listing is most current, so a stale syndicated price is never mistaken for today's.

Anti-bot defenses are dynamic

When a request is blocked, Zyte automatically re-routes and retries with a different approach, and persistent blocks escalate to the team running your feed.

Schemas fragment across portals

Zyte resolves each source into one consistent schema, so a listing is a listing no matter how many portals it came from.
The cost of getting it wrong

What poor data quietly costs the business

Bad web data doesn't announce itself — it shows up later, in a valuation or offer made on a number that was already wrong.
Revenue impact
27%
Value a property against week-old comps and roughly a quarter of your estimates are already off.
Analytics integrity
1 in 8
A silent coverage drop hides one in eight listings — dashboards still look complete.
Model reliability

An AVM retrained on a gappy feed drifts for weeks before anyone traces the cause.
Regulatory exposure

Collecting personal agent data or ignoring site terms risks GDPR penalties up to €20M.

Reviews

What our users say

I have been working with Zyte's team for the last few months, and their team is fantastic. I appreciate their development speed and quality, and they run a very robust platform, producing very satisfactory results. I love the ease of the initial setup with Zyte, as they took care of all the development, and we only needed to communicate what data we needed and set up the necessary processes on our end.

Frequently asked questions

How fresh can real estate data be?

Price and status are typically delivered daily or several times a day; full listing attributes are usually re-crawled weekly. Real-time and on-event delivery is available where a use case needs it. We scope frequency per portal to how often that site actually changes.

How do you handle site changes that break extraction?

Every feed run is validated against your agreed schema, so a layout change on the source site surfaces as a coverage alert — not a silent gap in your data.

What about anti-bot measures and blocks?

Zyte's infrastructure re-routes and retries automatically when a request is blocked, adapting to each portal's defenses without you managing proxies or headless browsers.

What formats and delivery methods do you support?

JSON Lines and CSV are standard, with separate files for offices and agents when a project involves directory or roster data. Delivery via S3, GCS, SFTP, or API pull, on the schedule you need.

How do you approach compliance for real estate data?

We collect only what's publicly available, respect site terms, and take particular care with any personal data tied to agents or private sellers. Legal review is available for projects that touch credentials or personal data.

How long does setup take?

Standard-schema feeds from common portals can start within days. Projects with custom fields — agent/co-agent blocks, deed history, MLS-specific attributes — typically take one to a few weeks depending on scope.

What does a real estate data feed cost?

Pricing depends on the number of sources, listing volume, refresh frequency, and how much of the schema is custom. Talk to our data experts for a quote scoped to your markets.

Can I see a sample before committing?

Yes — we can provide a sample JSONL or CSV extract from a portal you care about so you can validate coverage and schema fit before scoping a full feed.
