try WebDriverWait and visibility_of_element_located:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By #make sure to add this import 

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

elem = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,'.sc-Xml_house'))).get_attribute("data-to-posting")

# visibility_of_element_located --> waiting until an element is present on the DOM of a page and visible

First identify the element and then get_attribute()

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//div[data-qa="posting house"]').get_attribute("data-to-posting")
