If you were working with a realtor, ie were serious in buying/selling, that information is easily available and listed, as is every other price change that property has seen, and much much more.

Why would potential buyers and sellers assume that the property sold at or above asking price? All parties would be prudent in doing market research for the area, similar units, assessed pricing, then determining a price based around all of these factors.
