Deductions & credits

Thank you.  We sold a home to our son and his family for their personal residence.  The sale price of the home was market value because we gave him a gift of equity.  Can the gift of equity be an expense of selling the home so that we do not have a gain?  And, of course, we will also fill our the For 709 Gift Return.

And when he sells the home, do you know if his basis be less the gift of equity?
