Seller trying to break contract?

I’m 6 business days to closing. Closing is contingent on a new roof being put on (included in the contract) which when I made the original offer of what they were asking I added the cost of the roof (they already had an estimate) to what they were asking. The entire process so far has been smooth as damn butter. I’m almost out of underwriting, was supposed to get the CD today or tomorrow. The roof is supposed to go on Monday. I chose the color (agreed through text several times between agents and seller). The sellers are now disagreeing on the color and state I can’t choose that roof. It’s in the line that I was given, it’s costs the same, they don’t like the color. It’s holding up the roofing process now because now we didn’t order the color on time. The seller is extremely condescending because I’m a woman (I was forwarded a text he told them to send to me) that I don’t know what I’m talking about and he gets to pick the roof and maybe he’ll take into consideration the one I want.

I’m at a loss. My agent is at a loss. I’m already financially invested in this house for the appraisal and inspections and this all really sucks.

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...
