1.1 Workflow description

Title
Average property value estimates from Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com
Workflow name
Average property value estimates from Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com

Who is this for?

Real estate investors, agents, and analysts who want a more reliable property valuation than any single AVM provides. Useful for offer prep, portfolio tracking, comp analysis, and CRM enrichment.

What does it do?

Sends a property address to three independent valuation APIs in parallel — Zillow's Zestimate, Redfin's Estimate, and Realtor.com's estimate — then averages the three values to produce a smoothed, defensible mid-point figure. Each AVM uses different proprietary models that routinely disagree by 10–30%, so averaging cancels out individual model bias.

How it works

  1. Manual Trigger + Edit Fields — set the property address (preset to a sample Atlanta address for testing)
  2. Three parallel API chains all fire simultaneously:
  • Zillow — direct call returns the Zestimate
  • Redfin — search by address → fetch property estimate by ID
  • Realtor.com — autocomplete by address → fetch property detail by ID
  1. Merge combines the three responses by position
  2. Edit Fields1 extracts each estimate value into a clean numeric field
  3. Code node calculates the arithmetic mean and writes it to averageEstimate

Output schema: { address, zestimate, redfinEstimate, realtorEstimate, averageEstimate }

Set up steps

  • Sign up at RapidAPI and subscribe to three APIs (all have free tiers): zillow-com1, redfin-com-data, and realtor-search
  • Create a single Header Auth credential in n8n with your RapidAPI key (header name: x-rapidapi-key)
  • Attach that same credential to all 5 HTTP Request nodes
  • Replace the sample address in Edit Fields with your real property
  • (Optional) Swap the manual trigger for a webhook, schedule, or Google Sheets trigger; add an output node after the Average to send results to Sheets, a database, Slack, or your CRM

Setup time: ~5–10 minutes once the RapidAPI subscriptions are active.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
