The creator of “Zillow Gone Wild” has told Bored Panda that they got the idea for the Instagram page when they saw lots of really strange houses on Zillow. According to the creator, these unusual designs are an outcome of people's tastes and financial situation. They also mentioned that in rural areas, it's easier and cheaper to build unique homes. But they also think that the weirder the house is, the more difficult it might be to sell.

that's because it's in Iowa and I notice they do not show you the bathrooms. So she likely needs a lot of work. Not to mention the hazmat situation--anything older than 1980 has asbestos and lead paint. victorians might even have arsenic if they have original wallpaper anywhere.
As a popular saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" – what one person thinks is nice, another person might find peculiar.
People have different ideas about what makes a home special. Some like classic designs that remind them of the past, while others want to try new and different things. This can lead to homes with unusual shapes or colors that start conversations.

This Historic Somerville, Ma Home Is Perfect. No Notes. $1,475,000
Love the outside. Inside is a bit too much for me. Yet, still better than al of those boring white and greys.
It's definitely eclectic. The inside looks like it was decorated by Barbie's friend, Interior Design Barbie.
Aren't these posts supposed to be cursed. Most of these are so nice!
Pink and green are my favorite colors, so this right here is calling my name! Very first tithings, I’m replacing the worn (wrapping paper?) on the stairs, but otherwise, it largely stays the way it is, though I’ll need a playmate to move in t keep me company (and to play!). I suuure don’t think of Somerville having ANYTHING cool in it, though maybe it’s improved (a LOT) since I was last there?
So, I guess they like color! This would be like living in a cartoon!
Perfect after redecorating. We'll bring Candace in for this one; she'll get a kick out of it.
My living room is this style, people say It remembers a psychedelic trip 😵💫
While I certainly would love it, I couldn't deal with the pink rooms.
I do like a lot of this as pure art, but the idea of living there day after day is not something I could endure.
I'm going to say this diplomatically...the cookie-dough staircase is just kinda on the weird side of eclectic.
I despise this so much. I think I would develop a migraine that would never go away. I wouldn't last five minutes in this place.
I like bright colors, but this is a little bit too much for me🙂. Lovely house tho
Anyone notice the door knocker? Now everyone will go back to see it. Lol.
i love this so much! i hope it will be bought by someone who doesnt change it.
Why would it be a gay friend's house? Why not just a friends house?

How are these cursed homes? I mean, 3-4 have some odd interior design, but that's all it is. Most of these are amazing properties.
I came here to say this but knew in my heart it had already been said

A few less avocado toasts per month and we could all afford one of these places, no problem! I mean all us pandas, put together, could afford one of these places.
My vote is a victorian one. I call the tower room!

Feels like, to me, the majority of these homes are not at all worth what they are priced at. More than half are absolutely heinous, and “historical” doesn’t mean it should be overly expensive. It just means lead paint, asbestos, faulty wiring and plumbing. Meh.
Some of them are outrageously expensive because they're located in parts of the country where, for some inexplicable reason, everyone seems to want to live. What would be a $150K house where I live would cost ten times that in LA. And chill with the asbestos/lead paint paranoia, people. Most of these places have probably been remodeled at least once, and in any case, lead paint won't hurt you if you don't eat it, and asbestos duct insulation is perfectly safe. It's the loose fibers that are a problem.

F**k all of that nonsense. give me four walls and a roof that don't leak that's all I need.
Sometimes I check out homes online that are on the more expensive side and I am often surprised how poor the room lay outs are. Things like having to walk through 2 bedrooms to get to a kitchen or bathrooms with such an awkward design that even though the room itself is big the usability of it is poor.
A lot of these looked very dated. Do people with money never renovate?
As long as the owners like it, who cares what anyone else thinks?

I look at all the open plan, massive ceiling space ones, especially in the colder areas, and think my god the heating bills would be a good percentage of GDP
Most of these aren't homes. They're just ways for rich people to flaunt their wealth.
Anyone who thinks these bizarre has a seriously limited life experience.
I have to wonder how many people have actually lived in these houses for a significant number of years?
Aside from the Frank Lloyd Wright homes, most of these are obscene examples of too much money. No one, I mean NO ONE, needs these kinds of houses.
Considering the high cost of buying even a modest home these things are mixing salt with alcohol and injecting it into a wound with a hypodermic syringe.
A lot would probably look much better with a nice paint job and no clutter.
