And deep within that thread are links to a couple other scams by the same person for an NYC apartment and a car for sale. What would need to change so that serial scammers like this are arrested rather than allowed to continue preying on people?

You could have some digital technology that allows a person to credibly prove that they own a particular property, that is resistant to hacking techniques. Alternatively you could have a legal rule that requires the seller to turn up in person with ID, and police could search for scam listings and then go arrest the scammers, and fine lazy legitimate sellers who want to break the rule.
