Open housing, for-sale, services, or jobs categories in each target city. Check category names, location labels, and listing volumes to avoid combining data from different cities.

Why check the same category in different cities?
Craigslist organizes content by city. Housing, for-sale, or services listings can differ in volume, price range, and update frequency, so a sample from one city should not be applied directly to another.
Should listing dates be recorded separately?
Yes. Posting dates and page status help indicate how recent a listing is. Record the city, category, time, and target URL together when reviewing it.
How can I monitor the same public listing?
Use a static residential IP in a fixed city to revisit the same URL, then record price, image, and status changes over time for comparison.
How can I compare local markets across cities?
Use static residential IPs in selected regions for a fixed egress. Configure and record each region separately, and verify target-site rules and actual connectivity before use.
Can I collect private contact information from listings?
Do not process nonpublic or sensitive information. This page covers only public categories and page-presentation checks, subject to Craigslist's current rules.
Does a listed price represent the final sale price?
No. A public listing shows only the price displayed at that time. It does not establish the actual sale price or support a guarantee of business outcomes.
