Introduction

Datafiniti's property data can be used to generate lead lists for individuals or homes that have just purchased a new home. You can use our advanced query syntax to generate a targeted lists.

Searching for recently sold single-family homes

Many property listings include information on when a property was sold. We will utilize the syntax next to find a list of properties recently sold. 

{
  "query":"country:US AND transactions.buyerFirstName:* AND transactions.saleDate:[2023-01-01 TO *]",
  "num_records":10
}

You may sub out the date range of saleDate to whatever time period that pertains to your use case.

This query is a little complex, so let's explain what's happening:

  • We're using a buyerFirstNamewildcard to guarantee that the home owner is their.
  • Transactions.saleDatewith show us only records with the start date until *. (current date)

Eliminating newly built houses from your search

We can also use the yearBuilt field to find older homes:

{
  "query":"country:US AND transactions.buyerFirstName:* AND transactions.saleDate:[2023-01-01 TO *] AND yearBuilt:[* TO 2018]",
}

By using a range query on yearBuilt, we can find every property that is no older than 2018.

Here is a sample of what this transactional data may look like. 

 "transactions": [
   {
     "saleDate": "2023-01-08T00:00:00.000Z",
     "documentType": "Grant Deed",
     "price": 173000,
     "sellerFirstName": "Seanot",
     "sellerLastName": "Hembree",
     "buyerFirstName": "clif",
     "buyerLastName": "Mccurley",
     "loanType": "Conventional",
     "parcelNumber": "056-670-034-000",
     "contactOwnerMailAddressFull": "18158 OLD WARDS FERRY RD"
   }
 ]

Refine the search by propertyType (multi-family & land)

Now we will and additional modifiers to search for multi-family housing and open land plots. 

{
  "query":"country:US AND transactions.buyerFirstName:* AND propertyType:(\"Multi-Family Dwelling\" OR land) AND transactions.saleDate:[2023-01-01 TO *] AND yearBuilt:[* TO 2018]",
  "num_records":10
}

Finding people data records from property data

A newer feature to Datafiniti is the ability to cross reference people found in the property data with our people data. This can be done using the property data's auto_trace feature. The auto_trace feature is a key generated and linked to a people data record key. Allow for a single API call to pull both property and people data for the homer in one record. 

{
  "query":"country:US AND transactions.buyerFirstName:* AND propertyType:(\"Multi-Family Dwelling\" OR land) AND transactions.saleDate:[2023-01-01 TO *] AND yearBuilt:[* TO 2018] AND people.people_key:*",
  "num_records":10,
  "auto_trace":true,
  "only_traceable":true
}

Which will provide result like this: (note the result here have been condense for viewing)
