Is it "Rude" to inquire to a neighbor who is selling (Same layout as mine) what their home appraises for?

So a neighbor about 4 doors down from my home has their home on the market, they clearly put a lot of work into it and in less than 4 days its already under contract. Here is where my curiosity comes in, they have it listed practically double what we paid for our home.

I have already touched base with the owner to compliment them on the work they had done to the place and passed along my well wishes that it goes through at or higher then ask price. But now I am curious would it be rude of me to ask what the appraisal came in at?

If this isnt one of those "Faux Paux" like how much money do you make I am considering waiting until I see the house has sold just in case they are stressing over the appraisal screwing things up.

Thanks for the insight!

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...
