Zillow × Airbnb Matcher Skill

This skill finds for-sale properties that already have an active Airbnb listing nearby — using GPS-based geo-matching to cross-reference Zillow and Airbnb data.

Message	What Happens
search airbnb 78704	Search Austin TX zip code

search airbnb 78704 min 3 beds	Filter by bedrooms

How It Works

1. Zillow search — Finds all for-sale properties in the ZIP code (~2 seconds)
2. Airbnb search — Finds all active Airbnb listings in the same area (~3 seconds)
3. Geo-matching — Matches properties within 100-200 meters using GPS coordinates
4. Investment analysis — Calculates cap rate, cash flow, mortgage, and break-even occupancy

⏱️ Total runtime: ~5-10 seconds per search (RapidAPI is fast)

Important Notes

• Revenue estimates are based on nightly rate × 70% occupancy. For precise data, use AirDNA ($100+/mo)
• Geo-matching means the Airbnb may be a neighbor's property, not the exact same house — always verify
• Free tier gives 100 Airbnb + 600 Zillow searches per month (RapidAPI free plan)
• Cost per search: $0 on free plan
