Data Center first
Redfin's Data Center offers free, downloadable market data such as median prices, inventory and days on market for many US geographies. If you need trends rather than individual homes, start there.
Investors and agents follow specific homes and neighbourhoods on Redfin: new listings, price cuts, status changes and Redfin Estimates. Before collecting anything, check Redfin's Data Center, which publishes market-level housing data as free downloads. For the listing-level watching that remains, a slow, steady setup works best.

Redfin is a brokerage, and its listing data comes from MLS feeds with licence terms attached. Use listing-level data for your own analysis, not for republishing.
Canadian listings live on redfin.ca and cover selected markets only. Use a Canadian IP for those and a US IP for redfin.com.
Redfin checks for automated traffic. A modest watchlist on a daily schedule causes far fewer interruptions than sweeping searches.
Our recommendation for Redfin, and when the second option is the better choice.
Redfin covers US markets and, through redfin.ca, parts of Canada, which is exactly where static ISP proxies are. A fixed watchlist checked from the same US or Telus Canada IP each day looks like one steady visitor, and unlimited bandwidth absorbs heavy map and listing pages.
Dedicated static IPs registered to US and Canadian ISPs. The address stays the same for as long as you hold it, with unlimited bandwidth and HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 access.
When you sample searches across many US markets, or want to see the site from a particular state or city, rotating residential proxies with state and city targeting spread the requests and add local context.
Residential IPs in 190+ countries with country, state and city targeting. Rotate on every request or hold a sticky session for up to 90 minutes; GB never expire.
Every CleanProxies proxy connects over HTTP(S) with the credentials in your dashboard; ISP and ISP subnet proxies also run SOCKS5. Test them with the free proxy checker and convert lists with the proxy list formatter.
Get the trend data you need from the Redfin Data Center before planning any page checks.
Use one US ISP proxy for redfin.com work and a Telus Canada ISP proxy for redfin.ca.
Save the listing URLs and searches you care about instead of crawling whole metros.
Re-check the watchlist daily at a slow pace and store price, status and date for each home.
Redfin's terms of use restrict automated access, and its listing data is subject to MLS licensing. Use proxies only for slow, internal tracking of public listings, never collect agents' or owners' personal data, and use the Data Center for market statistics. CleanProxies customers must follow our Terms of Service and the laws that apply to them; this page is general guidance, not legal advice.
