It's all about honesty. Is it "thrown by the wayside" in matters of auto sales or (especially) real estate. This episode raises those very important questions, yet does so with humor, especially in the final scenes, where the parties agree to stay in their own homes. It is very thoughtful, and should be archived for students of ethics and subjects of truth. I feel it is that significant.
As far as pure entertainment it's also a great episode: very funny. Besides the owner's son spilling the beans about sailing toy boats in the flooded basement of a prospective new house for the Taylors, there is Barney's over the top impression of a zealous real estate agent.
