I wrote about it recently, in one of the threads. In fact, I wrote several posts about it, over a few days, as the matter unfolded (real-time). Anyway I never planned to sell my house. It pretty much sold itself.
Anyway, a very short summary of it:
(1) I was not even at home. I was away on a trip. I manifested for big money to come really quick. I had no idea where the money would come from.
(2) Within a day or two, my wife called to tell me that a property agent had come knocking on our door, out of the blue. He said, "I have a few people interested in buying your property. Would you be interested in selling?"
(3) My wife said "No" because we had no plans to sell the property. However the property agent was a smooth talker and managed to persuade my wife to agree to let "a few people" just come and take a look at the property.
(4) The very next day, the property agent brought, like, four or five families, to view our home, all at one go.
(5) I was still away on my trip (so I definitely took no action).
(6) Four or five days passed. I returned home. On one of those days, some of the previous buyers came for a second viewing.
(7) One of them offered.
(8) I said no.
(9) A day passed. They upped their offer.
(10) I said no again.
(11) Another day passed. They upped their offer once again.
(12) I said, "Ok".
So I checked the government land registry records (they have an online database which allows you to check details of property transactions in the past 12 months) and I found that this price was the highest price that an apartment in this size/age category ever sold in my district.
