Not to be completely nosy--but after spending all day looking up home values for every single person you know, it's pretty clear Zillow.com is a true obsession. Just punch in any address, and click--there's a satellite picture of your ex's house, and a general value of how much it's worth. Granted, it doesn't take into account all the work you put into it before its last reappraisal...the landscaping you planted, the Spanish tile you put down...maybe that's just me.
It's also fun to look up not-so-great neighborhoods that are ripe for development, and see the shocking real estate values--considering the buildings there now are roach-infested slums. For instance, click on the image above: it's the neighborhood around 35th and Biscayne Blvd, right up against the (noisy) highway, where the nicest establishment is a Pollo Tropical. Later we'll all line up later to kick each other, in our angst for not owning any of this land ourselves.
You can also use Zillow to look up the home values for famous TV/movie homes, such as The Osbourne's LA mansion, or the infamous too-good-to-be-true "Monica's loft" in Friends. Price? Yeah, a lot.
