Other types of Lookie loos are those who are intensely curious about the interior of other people's homes and have developed a hobby of touring open houses.
Also Known As: Tire kickers
Examples:
When confronted, Lookie Loos will say, "Oh, I just live down the street." (As if that explains their fascination.)
