Track Redfin real estate listings with ScrapeOps, Google Sheets, and Slack

Overview

This n8n template automates scraping Redfin property listings on a schedule. Using ScrapeOps Proxy API for reliable page fetching and the ScrapeOps Redfin Parser API for structured data extraction, it saves clean listing rows to Google Sheets and sends an optional Slack summary.

Who is this for?

• Real estate investors monitoring listings in target markets
• Agents and brokers tracking new properties across cities or ZIP codes
• Analysts building property datasets without manual data entry
• Anyone who wants automated, scheduled Redfin data in a spreadsheet

What problem does it solve?

Manually checking Redfin for new listings is slow and inconsistent. This workflow runs on a schedule, scrapes your target search page, parses and filters valid listings, and keeps your Google Sheet updated automatically; no browser or manual copy-paste needed.

How it works

1. A schedule triggers the workflow every 6 hours.
2. ScrapeOps Proxy fetches the Redfin search page with JS rendering and residential proxy support.
3. ScrapeOps Parser API extracts clean structured JSON from the HTML.
4. Search metadata (total listings, region, price range) is lifted and stored.
5. The results array is split into one item per property.
6. Property fields are normalized: address, price, beds, baths, sqft, status, and more.
7. Invalid listings (missing address or price = 0) are filtered out.
8. Valid listings are appended to Google Sheets.
9. An optional Slack message posts a summary with listing count and sheet link.
