hemnet_autocomplete_locationLook up Hemnet location ids for a free-text place name (municipality, district, or area). Returns ranked hits with `location_id`, `full_name`, and `parent_full_name`. Feed a `location_id` into hemnet_search_listings / hemnet_search_sold. Read-only.hemnet_search_listingsSearch active for-sale property listings on hemnet.se by location and optional filters (price band in SEK, rooms, living area in m², property-type groups, keywords). Returns listing summaries with price, fee, m², rooms, price-per-m², and coordinates. Provide `location_ids` (from hemnet_autocomplete_location) or a free-text `location`. Read-only.hemnet_get_listingFetch the full detail of a single active for-sale listing by its Hemnet id or a /bostad/ URL. Returns price, monthly fee, yearly running costs, living/land area in m², rooms, tenure, construction year, energy class, broker, description, status labels, coordinates, and gallery photo URLs. For a SOLD listing use hemnet_get_sold_listing instead. Read-only.hemnet_get_listing_photosReturn the gallery photo URLs for an active for-sale Hemnet listing by id or /bostad/ URL. Read-only.hemnet_search_soldSearch SOLD property listings ("slutpriser") on hemnet.se by location and optional filters. Each result carries the achieved final price, the asking price, and the over/under-asking percentage — the core comps signal for valuation. Provide `location_ids` (from hemnet_autocomplete_location) or a free-text `location`. Read-only.hemnet_get_sold_listingFetch the full detail of a single SOLD listing by its Hemnet id or a /salda/ URL. Returns final price, asking price, price change, m², rooms, tenure, broker, and coordinates. Read-only.hemnet_compare_listingsFetch and normalise multiple active for-sale Hemnet listings at once (by id or /bostad/ URL) for side-by-side comparison. Up to 20 targets; input order preserved; per-row errors captured. Read-only.hemnet_get_by_addressResolve a free-text Swedish street address to a live Hemnet for-sale listing. Give the `address` (street + number) and a `location` (city/area/municipality). Returns the matched listing with a `matched: true`, the match `score`, and `matched_via`, or `{ resolved: false }` when nothing matches. Scans up to 500 listings in the location; a miss with `truncated: true` is not definitive — pass price_min/price_max or a smaller location to narrow it. Read-only.hemnet_get_market_statsAggregate median/average statistics from recent SOLD listings for a location (and optional property-type/size filters): median & average final price, median & average price-per-m², and average over/under-asking percentage. The stats cover the most recent `max_sales` sales (default 200, max 500), not necessarily every match — compare `sampled_sales` with `total_matching_sales`. Provide `location_ids` or a free-text `location`. Read-only.hemnet_calculate_mortgageLocal-only Swedish mortgage calculator (all amounts SEK). Returns the monthly cost broken into interest, mandated amortisation (amorteringskrav from LTV, rules as of 1 April 2026), BRF fee (avgift), and operating cost — with both gross and after-tax (ränteavdrag) totals. Provide `down_payment` OR `down_payment_percent` (defaults to the legal 10% minimum). No network call.hemnet_healthcheckRound-trips a small public www.hemnet.se URL (/graphql) through ContextMint Bridge (your signed-in browser tab) and returns diagnostics: the bridge's role (host/peer/null), port, version, the extension link (linked / pair pending / not attached / never answered), the elapsed round-trip time, and a plain-English hint distinguishing 'bridge never came up' from 'extension not connected' from 'this browser can't serve a capability' from 'real www.hemnet.se-side problem'. Read-only, no auth required. Call this when a real tool fails and you want to know which hop broke.
