Centris scraping as a managed service

We do the collection; you receive the table. Scope is set in the site's own vocabulary: residential or commercial, for sale or for rent, which regions, municipalities or Montreal boroughs, which property types, and whether you want the English pages, the French ones or both.

A province-wide search on Centris.ca is long and comes in short pages, so we divide it by region, category and price and reassemble it on the Centris No. - which also means the two language versions of a listing land as one record, not two. Anti-bot handling - pacing, proxy rotation, rendering and CAPTCHA handling - is included, as is repair when the layout changes. A free project assessment is the first step; after that, extracts run once or on a daily, weekly or on-demand schedule, and each dataset ships with field documentation.

Centris data we extract from each listing

The Centris No. is the anchor. It closes the listing address after the category and the municipality, and it does not change when the page is switched from English to French, so it joins both language versions and every later run. Around it we collect:

  • Identity - Centris No., English and French URLs, the category line (House for sale, Condo for sale, Condo / Apartment for rent and so on), photo count, the virtual tour marker and the Price drop label on a reduced listing.
  • Asking price - the amount in Canadian dollars, the per-month marker on a rental, and the "+ GST/QST" note on the listings that carry it.
  • Address - street number and street, unit, municipality and, inside Montreal, the borough in brackets.
  • Features - rooms, bedrooms (with the count in the basement), bathrooms and powder rooms, building style, year built, lot area, living or net area, condominium type, parking with garage count, additional features and move-in date.
  • Financial details - on a property for sale: municipal assessment for the lot, the building and the total, with its year; municipal and school taxes per year; condominium fees per month; and the expense lines an income property lists, such as electricity and insurance.
  • Income fields - on a plex: use of property, number of units, residential units, main unit and potential gross revenue.
  • Surroundings - Walk Score, the list of nearby services and the demographic block for the municipality.
  • Broker and agency - the listing broker's name and professional title, and the name of the real estate agency.

Descriptions are written by the broker and often stay in French even on the English page; we deliver the text as published and flag its language. When assessment or taxes read "Not issued", as on a new build, the field says so and is not left blank.

Centris data we extract from each listing
Centris price history, brokers and market statistics

Centris price history, brokers and market statistics

Centris.ca shows a listing as it stands today, with at most a Price drop label on the card. A Centris price history comes from our side: the same Centris No. read on every run, with each asking price and the date it was seen, the day the listing first appeared and the day it stopped appearing. From that follow price cuts and time on the site by municipality.

  • Search coverage - residential and commercial, for sale and for rent, cut by region, property type, plex size from duplex to quintuplex, building style and price, and sorted by recent publications to reach new listings first. The Open houses and Repossession criteria each give a list of their own - the second is where Centris foreclosure listings are found.
  • Commercial - commercial and industrial buildings, lots and businesses for sale by type of business, with available commercial area.
  • Brokers and agencies - the broker directory, searchable by area served: name, title, agency and office address, languages spoken and the broker's current properties. Agencies are companies, so their offices and phone lines belong in the dataset; a broker's social media links are skipped.
  • Market statistics - the statistics tool by province, region and municipality: sales, new listings, active listings and volume, then median price and average days on market for single-family homes, condominiums and plexes, for the quarter and for the last four quarters.

About Centris.ca

Centris.ca is the listings site of Quebec's real estate brokers. The site describes itself as powered by Centris, a company that supplies technology tools to the province's brokers, and what a visitor finds is what those brokers have listed: houses, condos, plexes, cottages, lots and commercial property, for sale and for rent. Each listing names its broker and the agency behind it.

The whole site exists twice, in French and in English, with mirrored addresses - a condo for sale in Verdun is "condo~a-vendre" on one side and "condos~for-sale" on the other, and both end in the same number. Geography follows Quebec's own map: administrative regions, municipalities, and boroughs inside Montreal.

The part of a Centris listing worth building on is the Financial details block. It prints the municipal assessment divided into lot and building, the year the assessment applies to, and the municipal and school taxes charged on the property. Income properties add potential gross revenue and unit counts. Whoever buys the data gets the asking price and two independent yardsticks for it from the same page.

Why scrape Centris listings

The fields Centris prints beside the price turn a list of homes into something you can calculate with.

  • Price against assessment. Asking price divided by total municipal assessment, by municipality and category, shows where sellers ask furthest above assessed value - and which listings sit oddly below it.
  • Carrying cost. Municipal taxes, school taxes and condominium fees add up to the yearly cost of holding a property before any mortgage - a figure lenders and relocation services work from.
  • Plex screening. Potential gross revenue against asking price gives a gross rent multiplier for every duplex, triplex and larger plex on the market, sortable by borough.
  • Land value. The lot share of the assessment, lot area and year built point to properties priced mainly for their land.
  • Agency share. Listings counted by agency and by broker title, region by region, show who holds the market in Montreal, Laval or Quebec City.
  • Rental market. Monthly asking rents by borough and bedroom count, with the furnished and pets-allowed criteria the search offers.

About ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt builds and runs web crawlers as a service and hands over the result as a dataset. For a brokers' listings site such as Centris.ca that means bilingual pages joined on one identifier, financial fields kept as numbers with their year, and broker data limited to the professional details the listing shows. Logins and paywalls are never crossed, personal data falls under GDPR, and contact lists of private people are not for sale here. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

FAQ

Can you get Centris sold data or sold prices?

Centris.ca lists properties that are for sale or for rent, each with an asking price. Repeated runs add what one visit cannot: the last asking price and the date a listing left the site. For the sold side we collect the site's statistics pages, which give sales counts, median prices and average days on market by region and municipality.

Do you deliver Centris listings in French, in English or both?

Both, in one row. The French and English pages of a listing share the Centris No., so labels and category names come in the language you choose while the broker's description is delivered as written, with a language flag. Numeric fields - price, assessment, taxes, areas - are stored once.

Do you offer a Centris API for Quebec listings?

Yes. The ScrapeIt Centris API returns Centris No., category, asking price, address, municipal assessment, school taxes and the listing agency as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. You can also take the data as CSV or JSONLines files, as a JSON feed, or as a load into your database.

How quickly do you pick up new listings on Centris?

On the schedule you set; daily suits lead and pricing work. We sort each search by recent publications, compare the Centris No. list with the previous run and deliver new listings, changed prices and withdrawn listings as separate flags. Montreal alone can run more often than the rest of Quebec if that is where speed matters.

Is it legal to scrape Centris?

Yes. Listings, broker pages and market statistics on Centris.ca are shown to every visitor, signed in or not. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on Centris.ca - and we collect it legally. Brokers appear in their professional role only, and nothing is gathered about private sellers or buyers.

How does it Work?

Step 1 - Make a Request

You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We’ll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.

Step 2 - Configuring Custom Web Crawlers

Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.

Step 3 - Collect and Deliver

Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.

Step 4 - Maintain and Support

Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
