pp-redfin
Stingray-backed Redfin CLI with the workflows the website can't do — saved-search diff, sold-price trends, $/sqft ranking, and offline SQL. Trigger phrases: `find homes for sale in <city>`, `watch redfin listings for <area>`, `rank houses by price per square foot`, `pull sold comps for <address>`, `compare these redfin listings`, `use redfin-pp-cli`, `run redfin`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds executable commands for structured Redfin data analysis that aren't available through the website, enabling advanced market insights.
What it needs
Requires go, redfin-pp-cli installed locally. About 10k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-06. 1,890 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Redfin — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the redfin-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: redfin-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer): If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when an agent or human needs structured Redfin data and needs the workflows the website itself doesn't expose: cross-region diffs over time, $/sqft rankings net of HOA, sold-comp recipes for a subject property, market-trends overlays across cities, and digest-style summaries. Reach for it for buyer comparison-shopping, investor screening across multiple zips, relocator city comparisons, and buyer's-agent comp pulls. Skip it for one-off browsing — the redfin.com website is fine for that. When Not to Use This CLI Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. Time-series intelligence watch — Re-run a saved gis search and surface what's NEW, REMOVED, PRICE-CHANGED, or STATUS-CHANGED since the last sync. Pick this when an agent is tracking a buyer's shortlist over time and needs a reproducible 'what changed' digest. …
How to use it
