Experience of selling and buying a flat: a personal story

The keys to the three-room apartment are in hand, the big winter trip of selling one apartment and buying another is behind us.

We sit drinking champagne, reminiscing about all the apartments we bought and sold. The first was 22 years ago.

I convert prices from rubles to dollars, tracking the real capital growth. My God, even in dollars, it's a growth by tens of times.

There's a very warm and pleasant feeling inside. Met so many people, families, all this crazy hustle, thank goodness without a lie detector)

Planned to spend the winter in warm countries, but got tired of renting, and we tried to put our two-room apartment up for sale. Well, we thought maybe we'd get a call once a month. But the phone was ringing off the hook, bargaining like crazy. We raised the price twice and sold it quite calmly.

Bought an apartment from the executive director of a well-known company, not Yandex of course, about three times smaller. It was overwhelming. Wonderful people, they were buying a 4-room apartment.

Ahead is a huge number of boxes for the move, and I want to open the second bottle.
