When you go house shopping on Zillow and see how overpriced regular houses are

This is a 4-panel rage comic meme. In the first panel, a male stick-figure rage character says 'Let's go buy a house', and a female rage character with a hair bow responds excitedly 'OMG, YES!'. The second panel shows the Zillow real estate platform logo with the label 'Checks', indicating the characters are browsing listings on Zillow. The third panel displays two photos of small, old, unremarkable, somewhat run-down suburban houses with large red text overlaid showing a price of $1,200,000. The fourth panel shows both characters with bulging red eyes, screaming in furious, shocked rage, represented by extended strings of the letters F and U. The joke satirizes the extreme inflation of housing prices in North America, where even low-quality, average houses are priced far beyond what most people can afford, leading to frustration for those trying to purchase a home.
