print(f"For sale: {listing_count}, Sold: {sold_count}")

# Filter by property types
listing_count, sold_count = scraper.get_summary(
    location_id="17744",
    item_types=[HemnetItemType.VILLA]
)

Get Sold Properties

homes = scraper.get_sold(
    location_id="17744",
    item_types=[HemnetItemType.VILLA, HemnetItemType.RADHUS]

    print(f"Address: {home['address']}")
    print(f"Final price: {home['final_price']} SEK")
    print(f"Asking price: {home['asking_price']} SEK")
    print(f"Living area: {home['living_area']}")
    print(f"Sold date: {home['sold_at']}")
    print("---")
