A woman shares a video of the awkward moment her new boyfriend ends their relationship after catching her looking at an ex’s house on Zillow.
In a video with over 6.5 million views, a TikToker who posts under the account @squiddyclothing stares blankly away from the camera. She nervously fidgets with her sweatshirt.
On-screen text reads, “Actual footage of me getting broken up with.”
In the background, a man says, “I saw your computer. You had a Zillow link of an ex’s house, and to me, that signifies more red flags. I don’t know how much you’re peering into my life.”
He mentions that they’ve only been dating for two weeks and calls it off.
How common is Zillow snooping in a relationship?
Zillow snooping typically involves searching for the address of a partner or an ex to determine the current value of their home and any recent updates they’ve made to the property. According to a 2021 survey by Omni USA, approximately 62% of respondents admitted to using the website to look up the homes of people they know.
In the comments of the TikTok, many viewers say they’ve looked up a current or former partner’s home on Zillow.
“Honey, we would have a Zillow link BEFORE the first date!” one exclaims.
“We all got the Zillow links,” another writes.
“Zillow link is entry level honestly, god forbid a girl do her research. His loss. Your gain,” a third says.
“Wait till he meets a new girl and finds her Zillow link to your house,” a fourth jokes.
Even Zillow’s official account comments, writing, “Just an innocent Zillow scroll.”
Do viewers think she is in the wrong?
Other commenters point out that the TikToker’s boyfriend discovered she was snooping on the real estate marketplace by also peeking at her computer.
“Him snooping in your computer while lecturing you is the biggest [red flag emoji],” one writes.
“Dating for two weeks and you with the Zillow link and him with the snooping on your laptop… matched freaks, what’s the issue?” another asks.
“Girl, him looking at your computer after only two weeks is the bigger red flag than the Zillow link,” a third says.
Some share personal details they found about dates while “researching” online.
“I knew where my husband’s ex-wife lived and the court details of their divorce before our first date,” a commenter admits.
“I figured out where his ex worked and tipped her $20 for a COFFEE! Zillow is barely even a level,” another says.
