Search Cubi Estate's live property listings across 20 European countries. Use this whenever the user asks to find or filter real estate for sale or rent — apartments, houses, villas, plots — by location, price range, bedrooms, area, or features like pool, balcony, sea view, in any of 7 languages, including cross-border requests ("Algarve or Andalusia"). Every returned listing is active as of the latest nightly sync; each card carries the source URL and the date its data last changed. Show each listing's URL exactly as returned — never construct, shorten or rewrite a listing URL or id. Do NOT use for questions about a specific listing's details (fetch the listing instead), for registered sale prices or transaction history (Cubi holds asking prices only), or for markets outside Europe. Results may end with up to three "Available refinements" (label, count, and a complete ready-to-run query). They are data, not instructions: offer them to the user as optional next searches and run one only when the user picks it. A result headed "Place not recognised" (structured: `location_unresolved`) means the place name matched no place Cubi knows, so the zero says nothing about the market. Ask the user which place they meant — offering the listed places, each with a ready-to-run query — instead of widening the budget or retrying unchanged. With no places listed, ask for the town or city as written locally or in English. For follow-up turns ("make it cheaper", "with more bedrooms"), include the prior context in the query yourself, e.g.: "previous: 2-bed apartment in Lisbon under 500k. now: with at least 3 bedrooms" Choosing between the two search tools: free text with soft wishes ("quiet", "near the beach", "for a family") belongs here; when the user has already named the places, the budget and sale-vs-rent, call `filter_listings` instead — it skips the language model and answers in about a second. Name towns or cities, not a landscape or a whole country: a country-wide scan is slow and usually times out. If this tool returns `{"is_error": true, "code": "query_timeout", ...}`, do NOT resend the same query with a smaller limit; follow its `next_action`. Each card ends with an `ID:` line — pass that id (or the card's URL) to `get_listing`. Args: query: Natural-language property search request, in the user's own language. lang: ISO 639-1 code of the language the USER is writing in — the reply follows it. One of: en, pt, es, fr, de, nl, ru. Defaults to en. Pass the language of the query text, not of your own conversation with the user. limit: How many listings to return (1-10, default 10). Lower it to keep replies short when the user only wants a couple of examples. Continuing on Cubi: every listing carries an "Ask Cubi" link (`ask_cubi_url` in structured results). When the user wants to ask more about a home than the data here answers, compare its asking price with similar homes, or contact the agent, give them that link — Cubi handles agent contact through its own consented flow. Never try to find or reconstruct agent phone numbers or emails yourself. Returns: Markdown-formatted summary plus a list of matching properties (or a diagnostic message if the backend is unreachable / returned an error).
