Another thing I've had people requesting is the ability to import data from a webpage url. Not everyone uses an MLS and sometimes this is the easiest way to migrate from another website provider where only a few properties are listed.
I already looked into this and it will be a bit tricky. Some sites can't be scraped and each one that can be scraped will need some slightly different rules.
It offers some interesting possibilities though so I will work on it. Eventually if there is enough demand it could be a useful distinguishing feature.
It could even evolve to be a tool for monitoring changes in other listings across the web - particularly the price. Who knows. I'm open to suggestions and ideas.

I've finally had some time to look at this. In the end I decided the functionality for scraping real estate data should be in a standalone project. For this reason I have started this project:

https://github.com/RealEstateWebTools/property_web_scraper

Right now it is quite a barebones project but over the coming weeks I will add support for more websites and improve the UI

Hi @onvos, I'm busy at the moment with a few projects but when I get some time I will have a look to see if I can help.
