Finding the perfect house using open data

Where do you get the house listing data? Do you then geo code the addresses and filter them against your acceptable locations?

(Sorry if I missed reading that part)

Are you referring to real estate listings? In my case, I use Trulia to search the zones after I narrow down the locations. However, if you're referring to the building footprints I have a Make target that pulls GIS data from public sources: https://github.com/caged/portland-atlas

I guess I'm asking how you find only listings in the zones you want?

Does trulia have an API?
