Last month, I was helping a friend and two friends of him, to find a single BHK (Bed room, Hall and Kitchen) house in the costlier area of BTM Layout in Bangalore. We took the help of the brokers / middlemen to help us to find out a house in that area within our budget of around 6K per month.
The broker took us to a house that was spacious enough (around 300+ Sq.ft) to be called as a single BHK house. The rent was acceptable around Rs. 5500/- per month and all of us liked it. But then we came to know that it would take another 3-4 days to get the possession of the house, and my friends were so desperate that they required a house immediately.
The broker took us to another house, that was just ready and available for immediate occupation. It was quite smaller (around 200+ Sq.ft) than the previous one, but the rent was around Rs.5000/- per month. Two of three friends were not satisfied with the house and said that they wanted to check some other house.
The broker again took us to another house, that was also available for immediate occupation but was really and relatively smaller (around 100+ Sq.ft!!! In fact, one has to see it to believe that it is 1 BHK house ) and the rent was around Rs. 5700/- per month.
Left with these options, now my friends, immediately wanted to take the second house for rent (around 200+ Sq.ft and a rent of Rs.5000/-) and did it immediately!. This explained me the theory of relativity in real life!, because, if the third house shown by the broker was not relatively smaller and/or costlier, there is no chance, that they would have picked up the second house. Perhaps that broker too would have had an understanding of this psychology!!
