Real Estate Data Scraping and Analytical Tool

[Farhan Khan]

I'm looking for some advice on tools or software that can help me scrape real estate websites to gather data such as home values, tax assessed values, and other relevant property information. My goal is to compile this data into an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis.

Ideally, I'm looking for a tool that:

1. Is user-friendly and doesn't require extensive programming knowledge.
2. Can scrape multiple real estate websites reliably.
3. Allows me to easily export the collected data into Excel or a similar format.
4. Provides options for scheduling regular updates to keep the data current.

If anyone has experience with such tools or can recommend any specific software, your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

WebHarvy is pretty user-friendly and doesn’t need extensive programming knowledge. You can scrape data from multiple sites and export it to Excel. Octoparse is another easy-to-use tool that can scrape data from various real estate websites and even schedule regular updates.

There are also browser extensions like Data Miner, which let you scrape data directly from websites and export it to Excel without any coding skills.

Import.io is a cool Google Sheets add-on that can pull data from websites and import it directly into Sheets, which you can then export to Excel.

I have also used Propstream, which is a great tool for finding property information using filters that update every time a new property enters the filtered fields and can automatically generate a report using that data for you. 

Hopefully this gets you started!
