I had a deal under contract for three weeks. Three weeks of smooth sailing. Inspections done, repairs negotiated, appraisal came in perfect, loan was clear to close. We were literally scheduling the final walkthrough when the buyer called me sobbing. Turns out she'd been scrolling Zillow "just for fun" and found a house two streets over that she liked better. Two streets over. She wanted to know if we could just "pause" this deal while she went to look at the other one. I explained that's not how any of this works. The sellers had already packed half their house. The movers were booked. Her rate lock was about to expire. She backed out anyway. Lost her earnest money, didn't care. The other house? She never even made an offer because it "felt smaller in person." The sellers had to relist, missed their window to buy their next place, and I got to explain to everyone involved that yes, this really happened because of recreational Zillow browsing. I've started telling all my buyers to delete the app after going under contract. I'm not joking.
