You didn't implement anything like this, but congrats on finding a home you're happy with using a different algorithm. You only saw 2 homes -- an arbitrary number not at all tied to how many homes might be on the market. You then instantly chose the first candidate you saw above some arbitrary threshold. I hope you can see this is nothing like the optimal stopping problem outlined in the article.
