Property Tracker Extension

If you would like to support this extension, why not consider becoming a Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/codemwnci

Property Track allows you to track price changes on popular property websites, currently supporting the RightMove website. It allows you to see how properties you are searching for have changed in value since first coming on to the market.

It discreetly adds an image next to the price on search result page, indicating if the price has risen, fallen or stayed the same since first coming on to the market. By hovering the mouse over the icon, you can see details of how the price has changed over time.

This extension collects the price information every time you and other users visit the websites, so the more users, the more accurate the information will be, so share this tool with your friends!

Update: Version 1.1 - Now also shows the price changes on the property page, not just the search list page. Thanks Darren for the suggestion.

Update: Version 1.1.1 - Updated with RightMove site changes. Prices are now shown on single property pages again.

Update: Version 1.1.4 - Google changed some rules, so I had to update to continue to all the extension to work, also made some changes enforced by a few RightMove site changes. Should all work again now.

Update: Version 1.1.5 - RightMove site changes, spotted and patch supplied by Oliver Jowett. Thanks!

Update: Version 1.1.7 - My hosting company became very expensive, so have moved to Amazon Web Services. Have also fixed a few rendering issues in the latest version.

Update: Version 1.1.8 - Fixed a bug where some times the icons and price changes were not showing up.

Update: Version 1.1.9 - Fixed a bug following RightMove's most recent updates. However, this now does require the extension to click on the unauthorised sources (because the extension does not originate from RightMove)

Update: Version 1.1.12 - Moved to HTTPS to fix mixed content warnings.

Update: Version 1.1.15 - A few fixes, plus a trial of a sponsored link.

Update: Version 1.1.16 - Behind the scenes changes to make sure the extension doesn't break when Chrome makes its upcoming changes (Chrome v85 onwards)

Update: Version 1.1.18 - Updated to the new ManifestV3 required later this year by Google. No meaningful changes to PropertyTracker, as property tracker was already compliant with the new stricter rules.

Update: V 1.1.19 - Updated permissions to remove one unneeded permission (tabs).

Igor Popov (ID: 000000302ef22be3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/10/2023 works fine and it's free

Mike (ID: 0000000a0dafabd6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/06/2021 Just moved from a similar tool that started asking for money to see the price history. Seems to be working well. One suggestion, can it also show the prices when browsing on the rightmove.co.uk/user/shortlist.html page? So when looking through saved properties can easily see if there have been movements without having to click on each property

Miles Taylor (ID: 000000aa27a1dcde) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/15/2021 Invaluable tool for Buyers particularly. Maybe you could add the date to the extension version, when you update..?

Tom Hanson (ID: 00000014a2e920fc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/19/2020 Great extension, one small change I'd make though: It looks like you're sending the ID and the current price when making the housetrack request so the reduced date is the whenever someone with the extension views the page. In the jsonModel var the reduced date is actually included so you could also send the date along with the request which would make it a little more accurate. I don't think the extension is open source, but if it was I'd be happy to contribute that change. :)
