# Someone who is selling his house and his neighbor wants should sell to him if the neighbor will pay the price that the seller could have gotten anyway. If the neighbor has a cap and says that they won't buy it above a certain price then the seller can put the house on the market and see what people are willing to pay for it. He isn't deceiving anyone since they have the chance to buy it if they are willing to pay more than the neighbor is willing to pay. However, if the neighbor doesn't have a cap it isn't right to put it on the market since doing so deceives the buyers into thinking that they have a chance to buy it and they don't.<ref>Pitchei Choshen Geniva ch. 5 fnt. 15</ref>
