If you’ve spent any time on the internet during the pandemic, odds are you’ve found yourself scrolling through Zillow listings a time or two. And, if you check Zillow listings daily, don’t worry. You’re not alone. According to The New York Times, Zillow usage is up more than 50 percent year-over-year.
But, while looking through the listings, you’ve likely also found yourself saying “what the…” about some of the truly zany homes with million-dollar price tags. They are most certainly fun to look at, and even more fun to laugh at, which is why @ZillowGoneWild is winning the internet right now.

“I had a feeling there’d be interest because a lot of people like to browse Zillow,” Samir Mezrahi, who also runs the popular KaleSalad Instagram account, shared with the New York Post. “[But] I didn’t think it would be this well-received.”
According to Mezrahi, he now receives more than 100 fan submissions a day. Mezrahi added, the account is not meant to poke fun at the homes, but rather to celebrate people’s unique tastes. “People [love to] have fun with their homes,” he added.
Some of the account’s more out there homes include the Mushroom House in Forked River, NJ.
