Property listings to Excel, ranked by rental yield

Turn a property search into a spreadsheet — and into an answer: which listings have the lowest price per m² and the best yield once taxes, costs and the mortgage are counted.

Investors and agents compare dozens of listings at a time, and the numbers that matter — price per m², yield, monthly cash flow — are never on the listing itself. ScrapeSheet extracts the search results you are viewing and, in its real-estate mode, calculates them for every listing.

Step by step

  1. Open a search results page on a property website (for sale, with the filters you want).
  2. Open the ScrapeSheet side panel and press Extract this page. Each listing becomes a row with its details (price, surface, rooms, area) and its link. The analysis reads prices and surfaces even when the site splits numbers and units into separate pieces.
  3. Switch from 📊 Data to 📈 Analysis and choose 🏠 Real estate — or 🏢 Commercial property for offices, shops and warehouses.
  4. Check the assumptions, which you only enter once: the country (detected from the website, and you can change it), expected rent per m² for listings that don't state a rent, down payment, interest rate and loan term, plus country-specific costs where relevant (for example transfer tax in Spain, council tax in the UK or HOA fees in the US).
  5. Read the result: headline figures plus a list ranked by net yield, each listing with a verdict. Export the table to Excel, CSV or Google Sheets.

What is calculated

Read the numbers correctly

  • Where a listing has no rent, the rent is your assumption, and the yield is only as good as that figure.
  • Net yield is shown before income tax on rent and without vacancy periods.
  • Tax and cost figures are verified for Spain; for other countries they are marked as estimates. This is a screening tool, not financial or tax advice.
  • Many property portals restrict automated collection in their terms. Use it on the pages you are browsing, for your own analysis, and respect each site's rules.

Use it responsibly

ScrapeSheet is meant for publicly available data. It reads the page you have open in your own browser, at your own pace; it does not get around logins, paywalls, CAPTCHAs or anti-bot protection, and it should not be used to try. Before you extract, check the website's terms of use: if a site forbids automated collection, don't use ScrapeSheet there. If the data includes people (names, emails, phone numbers), privacy law such as the GDPR applies to what you do with it. More in Is web scraping legal?

FAQ

Can I export property listings to Excel?
Yes. Open a property search results page, press Extract this page and export with the Excel button. Each listing becomes a row with its details and its link.

How does ScrapeSheet calculate rental yield?
Gross yield is annual rent divided by the price. Net yield divides the rent after yearly costs by the total cost, including purchase taxes and buying costs for the country you select. Cash flow includes the mortgage you enter.

What if the listing doesn't show a rent?
For homes, ScrapeSheet uses the rent per m² you enter as an assumption and says so in the results. For commercial property it doesn't estimate rent and compares price per m² instead.

Which countries are supported?
The country is detected from the website and can be changed. Spain's figures are verified; other countries' tax and cost figures are shown as estimates.

Is this investment advice?
No. It is a quick screening of the listings on your screen. Check the figures, taxes and the property itself before making any decision.
