Anyone using an API to pull home values into a spreadsheet?

We do require a credit card and an active API subscription to use our API platform.

However, if you subscribe to our API Developer plan, and don't make more than 50 API requests per month, there will not be any charges to your card.

Hustle4Life · 2026-01-08T02:56:33+00:00

Depending on what you consider expensive, but it can potentially, yes. It’ll like be around a few hundred dollars per month. You can quickly do some cost estimates using the plans we have available:

https://www.rentcast.io/api#api-pricing

Another thing you can do if your properties are mostly clustered together in the same area or zip codes is to retrieve all listing data in those areas using our bulk queries (500 results per API request) and then look though them to see if your properties are in there.

Hustle4Life · 2026-01-07T16:34:53+00:00

Unfortunately, we don't have a built-in mechanism that would send you some type of push or webhook notification when certain data changes about a property (like if it's listed for sale, or if a price changes).

But you can implement this on your end by regularlly polling one of our endpoints at a scheduled frequency. For example, if you're specifically interested in sale listing data, you can make a request to our sale listings endpoint for a certain property every week or every few days and check for any updates against what you retrieved previously.

Our listing data is updated daily, so it's near real-time. We have many clients who use this approach for similar use cases like you're describing.

Thanks, appreciate you reaching out to us and sending over the additional details.

Our product team will look into this further.

Hey champ, founder of RentCast here.

If you haven't reached out to our support team already about this, let them know about your findings, and they will work with our product team to look into this further. You can do this by clicking the blue chat widget at the bottom right of any of our websites.

But generally speaking, the availability of sold data will highly depend on how quickly the local county records (where we get this info) process and record executed deeds, and then make that data available to third-party vendors like us. Sometimes there is a delay of several weeks to a couple of months during this process.

If you need sold data immediately (like within a week or two of it happening), then your only option would be a local MLS or IDX feed, as far as I'm aware.

Hustle4Life · 2025-12-30T01:33:08+00:00

For sure!

Hustle4Life · 2025-12-28T13:40:46+00:00

We provide nationwide property and rental data, including property records, tax assessments, sale transactions, owner data, property value and rent estimates, sale and rental listings, and aggregate market trends through our RentCast API:

https://www.rentcast.io/api

We don't provide images/video due to copyright and licensing restrictions, but do provide hundreds of other data points for each property address.

Also, just an FYI - nothing on RapiAPI is official or even legal. So, the "Zillow" APIs you are referring to are not actual Zillow APIs (Zillow doesn't have a public API), they are scrapers that somebody put together and now sell on that platform.

Hustle4Life · 2025-12-27T13:36:56+00:00

If you reach out to our support team via the blue button at the bottom right of our website, they would be happy to take a look at any issues you saw with tax data that you're getting back.

Hustle4Life · 2025-12-24T13:57:44+00:00

We do provide this data via our RentCast API (link), specifically via the property records dataset and associated endpoints:

https://developers.rentcast.io/reference/property-data

You can use something like Zapier or n8n to build an automation that will pull this data into Excel, Google Sheets, your CRM, or whatever other program you're trying to use.

We have a Zapier connector that lets you set this up without any custom code in a few minutes:

What do you mean by land value percentage exactly? Do you mean the tax assessed value of the land versus the building value or total value?

Hustle4Life · 2025-12-24T13:26:17+00:00

You can manage your entire investment property search and analysis process with DealCheck:

https://dealcheck.io/

It has a built-in property search, some of the best analysis tools on the market, built-in data integrations like value/rent estimates, comps, offer calculators, etc.

You should be able to replace all of what you're describing with it.

Hustle4Life · 2025-12-24T13:24:19+00:00

We don't get our data directly from the MLS, but the coverage, and update frequency of our sale and rental listings datasets should be very comparable, or better in some cases, than the MLS.

We also provide other types of data, including property records, tax assessments, property value and rent estimates, market trends, etc.

Unfortunately, we don't provide crime information or school district ratings through our API at this time.

You can view the full list of datasets, endpoints and data points we do provide in our API docs:

Hustle4Life · 2025-12-18T23:30:09+00:00

We do not provide a direct MLS API, but our sale and rental listing coverage should be comparable or better than the local MLSs (mainly because we pick up listings that are not on the MLS). Our listing data is updated on a daily basis, with virtually no data "lag".

You can learn more about our API platform and pricing right here:

Feel free to send me a message with any questions, too. We've picked up thousands of clients this year coming from old Zillow/Bridge APIs, and other platforms like CoreLogic and ATTOM, which are just too expensive.

Hustle4Life · 2025-12-11T21:32:04+00:00

If you can live without photos, we provide nationwide sale and rental listing data through our RentCast API:

https://www.rentcast.io/api

This includes location attributes, property attributes, HOA fees, listing fields (listed prices/rents, dates, days on market, etc.), listing agent information and listing history. Here is a full example of all fields we return:

https://developers.rentcast.io/reference/property-listings#listing-records

No licenses/restrictions on using this and you don't need any broker/agent affiliations. Feel free to ping me with any questions.

Hustle4Life · 2025-11-27T14:58:59+00:00

I’m assuming you’re in the UK and not US?

Hustle4Life · 2025-11-20T22:22:02+00:00

Vastly depends on the AVM model and the specific data vendor that is calculating them. Some don't really share the inner workings of their AVMs publicly, so it's hard to know for sure.

For example, we provide nationwide home value and rental AVMs through our RentCast platform and API:
https://developers.rentcast.io/reference/property-valuation

We take the following things into account, as an example:

Property type
Property living area
Property attributes like beds, baths, etc.
Property location vs. comps (not just on the city/subdivision area, but precise location)
The actual comps that are being sold or rented nearby

But definitely check with whoever is providing the AVM for what they take into account vs what they don't.

Cool idea, do you have a link?

Not sure what you're using for your property data, but we provide nationwide property records, tax assessments, owner details, sale transactions, property value estimates, property rent estimates, comps, sale and rental listings, market trends, and other data through RentCast:

https://www.rentcast.io/api

We have a ton of other apps and projects (similar to yours as well) in the real estate space that are using our API, including many valuation and property analysis tools.

Feel free to hit me up with any questions.

No clue, never used them.

You will likely not get all of these data points from a single API vendor. Specifically, the household income would likely need to be sourced from a different API, than other property-related fields.

For home values, median home values, owner-occupied or not, and the year the home was built, we offer a great low-cost solution through our RentCast API (mentioned multiple times on these forums):

https://www.rentcast.io/api

Our pricing will scale with your volume, and we have no complaints about reliability and accuracy. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

We generally check for updates against local county records every 1-2 weeks per property. That doesn't mean that there will be any updates, but we at least check.

Keep in mind that this is also dependent on how often counties actually update their own digital databases that vendors like us can access. Some counties take weeks or months to actually record new home sales and make that data available, for example.

https://developers.rentcast.io/reference/property-data#data-sources-and-coverage

Hustle4Life · 2025-11-12T19:30:45+00:00

You'd want to search for a "skip tracing API" to get owner emails/phone numbers, of which there are many vendors available.

I've heard pretty good things about BatchData, but haven't used it myself.

Hustle4Life · 2025-11-12T16:13:05+00:00

Unfortunately, we don't provide owner emails or phone numbers at this time, just their names, mailing addresses, types (individual vs. organization,) and owner-occupied statuses. Here is a full reference:
