The athlete had hoped to raise at least five million rand ($470,000, 350,000 euros) when he put the small villa in a gated community on the market in March, said estate agent Ansie Louw, who is the wife of Pistorius&rsquo; coach.
The buyer ended up paying 4.5 million rand ($420,000, 310,000 euros) &mdash; significantly less than the price paid for similar properties in the same neighbourhood. &ldquo;This is a fact, but I am not going to comment any further,&rdquo; Louw told AFP. Pistorius shot and killed Reeva Steenkamp claiming he mistook her for an intruder.
