Can’t stop scrolling on Zillow? You’re not alone.

Many people who visit Zillow aren’t even buying houses — they’re just looking, sharing and daydreaming about their ideal home. The site has such a powerful hold on the market that one real estate company filed a lawsuit this week calling Zillow a monopoly. Elahe Izadi talks with reporter Rachel Kurzius about how we got here and what this house-hunting obsession says about us. Today’s show was produced by Emma Talkoff and Tadeo Ruiz Sandoval. It was edited by Lucy Perkins and mixed by Sean Carter. Subscribe to The Washington Post here . Need a gut check? Find the new season of “Try This” here .
