What should I do?

We had a purchase agreement signed on a home and later found out that the basketball goal on the driveway was not included as it was not listed. I had assumed that since the basketball post was bolted to the baseplate and foundation, there was no question about it not being a part of the house. Please advice.

Don is correct anything attached to the property part of the sale UNLESS excluded. MLS review posting for any exclusions, and contract. Most likely not enough to sue over better replace with new goal. Sorry to hear what took place.

FIRST ANSWER

Talk to your Realtor. An item bolted down generally is defined as a "fixture," which should convey with the property. However, interpretations may differ.
