How do I classify my second purchase

Current situation - California.

With estimated numbers.

Let’s say my primary residence is worth 1m. And the mortgage was paid off last week.

I want to buy a property let’s say 500k to an area 45 miles by car away without doing anything to the first property. I plan to sell it next year and claim the 250k home sale exclusion. (Reaches 2 years in June next year)

How do I classify the second purchase to the bank/underwriting ? Do they report to the IRS where my primary residence is ?

My work is closer to the primary home. (Now remote until next year)

Since it is 45 miles away, what reason can i use if I want to buy that as a second home ?

Let’s say according to google maps, there are different ways to get there. 45 miles and 65 miles (through hills) is that ok if they ever mention the less than 50 miles ?

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...
