IL - Accepted seller's counter offer & signed updated contracts...are we at risk of losing the house to other offers?

We saw the house yesterday, and I really want this house & I'm hoping someone can help me understand where we stand.

  • *My agent *submitted an offer this morning.

  • The selling agent countered via email (about 10k higher).

  • My agent countered, we'd go up 8k if they left the patio furniture

  • Selling agent said they'd except our offer but no on the patio furniture. They bought it 2 weeks ago for $2,400 & don't want to part with it.

  • My agent said okay, then we'll go up 6k.

  • *Selling agent *said they'd meet in the middle & agree if we go up 7k. (Sent via email)

All of this to say... We immediately sent them an updated signed offer. They haven't signed it yet. I'm afraid they had more showings today (and some scheduled for tomorrow?) and could get another offer.

Can the seller back out now since we've delivered the signed offer they agreed to via email?

Any info is GREATLY appreciated!!

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...
