Seller Disclosure Mentioned Repairs To 2nd Floor Water Leaks That Were Fixed / Remediated.. But I’m Still Worried??

Closing in in 1 week and the seller disclosures mentioned 2 water leaks on the 2nd floor that left stains on 1st floor kitchen ceiling.. the first being a toilet Leak that was replaced with receipts provided, the second being the 2nd floor washer water line leak (inside the wall) that was fixed, remediated, and baseboard replaced but seller supposedly can’t find receipts. We had an inspection done, and the inspector used his moisture detector on the ceiling and couldn’t find any moisture anywhere, but did note that there seems to be potential cover ups for prior moisture damage on 2nd floor. He wasn’t able to fully inspect the upstairs laundry room as the washer and dryer were blocking the wall with the plumbing. I can’t tell if this is “inspector speak” or not. If no moisture was detected , should I be fine?

Perhaps the paranoia is kicking in, but im worried about having a massive leak / mold issue on the 2nd floor the first month of moving in..

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...
