The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Plaintiffs, a young couple who are about to have their first child, resided in a rented apartment. They searched for a home for a considerable period of time, concentrating almost exclusively in three towns located in one area of Long Island, close to both their places of employment and their families and within a school district they considered suitable. On February 5, 1983, some three months after plaintiffs first viewed defendant’s home, and six weeks after defendant first considered selling the property to plaintiffs, they entered into a contract of sale.”
