Our sources

Rental listings, collected at the source.

We collect listings from property managers’ and owners’ public websites, then bring them into one format for your product.

Where the listings come from.

The Display Feed focuses on US rentals published by the people managing or leasing the property.

  • Property-manager websites

    Available rentals published on managers’ own sites and their hosted listing pages.

  • Community leasing sites

    Apartment communities publishing rental details and availability.

  • Owner websites

    Rental homes and apartments published directly by owners and operators.

The source stays with the record.

Each record retains its source URL and verification timestamps. You can trace a listing back to the page that published it.

Freshness you can inspect.

Coverage figures use listings verified at the source within seven days of the measurement date. The feed is refreshed weekly. A failed source check alone does not establish that a listing has been removed.

How verification works →

Know exactly what’s in your sample.

Coverage is strongest for professionally managed rentals. Individual-landlord listings, rooms and sublets are less represented. Field availability varies by source.

Consumer portal listings are excluded from the Display Feed. The separate Data API is for internal use and does not grant public display rights.

Rights are part of the agreement.

Your Display Feed licence sets the conditions for showing listings, descriptions and photos in your product, including attribution and links back to the source.

HousingFeed is independent of these platforms. Naming a platform does not imply partnership.
