The home buyer based his decision to buy because of the window view from the hillside. The 20% of the home's features caused him offer full price on the spot. Such is the power of the 80/20 Rule. In some cases, the 80/20 Rule may help people make a sale without conducting a showing. The house in the following example had languished on the market for months. Unlike the previous home, this place was not unsightly. On the contrary, it was a brand new custom built home. It sat on the market for over seven months without a single offer. The builder hired a real estate agent that knew the importance of finding that special feature. He drove out to give the house a thorough investigation. He discovered what the property had that the others did not. The house had a beautiful 5-acre yard. Other houses being sold in the area were all on 1-2 acre lots. Not only was the yard bigger, but it was also more private than all the other properties. The real estate agent marketed the property highlighting the 5 acres along with a description of the house. Because the house was no longer the main selling point, the interest in the property increased.
