Homegate Data Parser & API

Homegate is one of Switzerland’s leading property portals — an estimated ~2.6–3.3M monthly visits and ~65–80k active listings — and PropAPIS extracts its for-sale and rental listings through a single REST API. Owned by Swiss Marketplace Group (SMG), Homegate shares its top-tier position with sibling portals ImmoScout24.ch and Flatfox, so one parser strategy can leverage the whole SMG cluster.

Platform Overview

Market Position

Homegate is a top-tier Swiss portal, carrying an estimated ~65–80k active listings against ~2.6–3.3M monthly visits (Mar’26) (Swiss Marketplace Group ). It is owned by Swiss Marketplace Group (SMG), which controls the top tier of the Swiss market through Homegate alongside ImmoScout24.ch and the rental-focused Flatfox. The Swiss listing pool is small but high-value, with strong agent coverage.

• Leading Swiss Portal: One of Switzerland’s top property destinations
• ~2.6–3.3M Monthly Visits: Significant reach in a compact market
• ~65–80k Active Listings: High-value agent-sourced inventory
• SMG Family: PropAPIS covers the wider Swiss Marketplace Group cluster

Swiss Marketplace Group (SMG) Portal Family

Homegate’s owner, Swiss Marketplace Group (SMG), controls the top tier of Swiss real-estate portals that PropAPIS covers as a connected family:

• Homegate: General for-sale and rental portal
• ImmoScout24.ch: SMG’s other flagship Swiss portal (sibling)
• Flatfox: Rental-focused portal (sibling)

Because the SMG portals share infrastructure, a single parser strategy can span much of this cluster.
