'او خانهاش را فروخت' (u khāneash rā forukht, 'He/she sold his/her house') shows the possessive enclitic -ash ('his/her') attached directly onto خانه (khāne, 'house') to form khāneash, which then takes را because it's a specific, identifiable house.
Where English speakers slip
Learners sometimes forget that a possessed noun like 'his house' still needs را when it's the direct object — khāneash rā forukht, not just khāneash forukht; they may also confuse forukhtan (sell) with kharidan (buy), since both are common transaction verbs with a similar shape.
