"Bought for" or "Purchased for"

"How much was the home bought for ?" is not incorrect, although some people say to not end a sentence with a preposition. Yours is a passive sentence, so it is a little awkward.

Other ways to ask include:

How much did you pay for the house?

What was the purchase price for the house?

Out of curiosity, why the reposting?

To buy is to purchase; to purchase is to buy. They mean the same thing. You can buy a loaf of bread, a car, a plane ticket, a house, a farm, a company, a ship, a fleet of jet planes. You can also purchase these things. The word purchase is more formal and is more likely to be found in business, legal and financial documents such as real estate literature, contracts, accounts, etc.

It is very bad manners to correct someone in that way, even if a mistake has been made. You could try asking your girlfriend why she chose to attack you in that way. You could consider whether someone else might be kinder to you.

FYI, you can do that after you post or at any point in time to the original posting. Also, other members can add that tag (as I just did). Now both posts are in listed in 'Grammar'.

Either one is fine. They mean the same thing. "Purchased" is a bit more formal, I'd say, but not enough so to make any difference. Maybe you should think about getting a new girlfriend and a new girlfriend's mom. These two don't sound like keepers.
