Realtor pushing for an offer that is not contingent

To an extreme. Property in question is current on the market for $440,000. It had a $10,000 a price cut about a week ago. Open house Sunday. No other offers to date, but reportedly showings coming up still.

We put in an offer at $430k, contingent on selling our condo after much debate with the realtor. Realtor does not think that the seller will accept our offer due to the contingency issue. Our place is not currently on the market.

Any thoughts on this? I dont want to put my place up without an accepted offer as I need a place to live... And I dont want to put it up and then have to buy a house within a specific time frame (looking in only 1 relatively small town and have no reason to move ASAP).

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
