I did something similar with Kijiji in Montreal to find a decently priced apartment. It ended up working quite nicely and I found a 3 1/2 lease transfer well located in an older building for 700$. I've since employed it for other items that I kind of want, but not enough to trawl through Kijiji regularly for.

For reference it was easy to set up because Kijiji thankfully still has RSS and getting timely notifications through Huginn https://github.com/huginn/huginn and Pushover was simple.

Facebook classifieds seems to ve eating the market a bit, I haven't tried scraping fb, I imagine there are barriers, is this true?
