Real Estate / PropTech

Geography

United States — 50 metropolitan markets

Data Coverage

Property listings, price history, days-on-market, neighborhood comps, agent data

Client Overview

The client is a Y Combinator-backed PropTech startup building an AI-powered single-family rental investment platform. Their data needs span listing aggregation, rental rate intelligence, neighborhood comps, days-on-market, price-cut detection, and agent activity analytics.

Without continuous, multi-source data, real estate investment decisions become guesswork. The client needed near real-time updates from the three dominant US listing sources.

Business Challenges

Heavy Anti-Bot Defenses

Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com aggressively block scrapers with hCaptcha, Cloudflare, and behavioral fingerprinting.

Listing Deduplication

The same property often appeared on all three platforms with different photos, descriptions, and even pricing. Deduplication was essential.

Price-History & Price-Cut Detection

Real-time price drops were buying signals — but neither platform exposed this cleanly via public listings.

Geographic & Polygon Search

Investors needed to search by school district, flood zone, or custom polygons — not just zip codes.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

Aggregate listings from Zillow, Redfin & Realtor.com across 50 US metros
Deduplicate listings via address normalization + photo-hash matching
Track price history, days-on-market, and price-cut signals
Enrich with school ratings, flood zones, and walkability scores
Deliver clean, investor-grade structured data via REST API

Actowiz Solutions Approach

Multi-Layered Anti-Bot Strategy

Residential proxies, browser fingerprint randomization, hCaptcha-solving integration, and adaptive crawl-rate throttling kept success rates above 92%.

Address Normalization Engine

Built a USPS-grade address parser that normalized street addresses across all 3 platforms — enabling 99%+ deduplication accuracy.

Price History Reconstruction

Combined daily price snapshots with platform-exposed history to build a complete price-change timeline per property.

Geographic Enrichment Pipeline

Joined property data with FEMA flood zones, GreatSchools ratings, and Walk Score via APIs to deliver investor-ready datasets.

Delivery via REST API

Sub-second query response, polygon search support, and webhook alerts for new listings matching investor criteria.
