The story of Avraham buying the cave of Machpelah is principly mentioned in Parshat Chayei Sarah Bereshit 23:3-20.

If so, why does the Torah stress again and again that Avraham bought the cave from Efron HaChiti in Bereshit 49:29-32 and Bereshit 50:13?

Not an answer but it is worth noting that this is the first kinyan of "Klal Yisroel" in "Eretz Yisroel". – Avrohom Yitzchok Dec 30 '12 at 17:57
