Homes.com

Homes.com is a United States residential real estate portal owned by CoStar Group, which acquired the property in 2021 and folded the Homesnap agent application into it — homesnap.com now issues an HTTP 301 to www.homes.com. It sits on the consumer-facing portal layer of the US housing value chain, alongside Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin: it aggregates for-sale, for-rent, and off-market listings sourced from Multiple Listing Services and broker syndication, and monetises through an agent-first "your listing, your lead" advertising and agent-directory product rather than through data distribution. Its API posture is empty in both directions of the RESO question. Homes.com appears in the RESO organization directory as an active Technology Company (OrganizationUniqueId T00000143), but the Data Dictionary and Web API certification columns for that row are blank — it holds no RESO certification of any version, unlike rival Move/Realtor.com (Data Dictionary 1.7 Passed, Web API Core 2.0.0 Passed) or Zillow's Bridge Interactive (Data Dictionary 1.7 and Web API Core 2.0.0, Certified Legacy). Separately, no developer surface is published at all: developer., developers., api., docs., apis., dev., idx., feeds., and data. subdomains of homes.com do not resolve in DNS, and every path on www.homes.com returns HTTP 403 to non-browser clients behind Akamai bot protection. Listing data moves INTO Homes.com from MLSs and brokers via syndication opt-in, not OUT through any documented API. No OpenAPI, no OData $metadata, no webhooks, no SDK, no Postman collection, and no published authentication scheme were found. The GitHub organizations Homesnap and CoStarGroup contain only archived forks of third-party libraries — including libRETS, which is evidence of consuming MLS feeds rather than publishing them. Third-party "Homes.com APIs" on RapidAPI, Apify, Parse, and RealtyAPI are unofficial scrapers and are not recorded here as provider APIs.

Homes.com is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Real-Estate, United States, Property Listings, MLS, and RESO.

Homes.com’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 24 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime (on an ambiguous tag, where no other regime matched), so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/homes-com: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
