It wasn't much lower, but there's more to the story. A couple of years ago we were in the final stages of buying the house when I had to get a new car. We didn't want to be financially strapped, so we held off on buying the house. During that time, the housing boom took off, and my parents came up with a new price for us... $125,000 MORE than what they originally offered us. You can imagine how we felt. My sister bought a house from them also and did not have to pay anything near that. Anyways, I finally had it. I e-mailed them stating that we paid for all repairs on this house and were never re-imbursed, though we gave them our receipts which they wrote off on their taxes!!! We finally stopped giving them receipts when we weren't getting reimbursed, though my mom continued to ask for receipts!!! I think they finally saw my point and came up with an offer for us.. we'd pay about $7,000 more than what they paid, but they would pay our closing costs.
