What are my chances?[NC]

So a month ago, in very hot market in NC, my wife and I found the house of our dreams. It's a sellers market so it was overpriced and also had very little comps. The comps we did find showed the house could be overpriced by about 20-35k. The listing agent said there was interest and we did not want to be in a bidding war. Anyway, I was hesitant to pull the trigger and it slipped away.

Flash forward to yesterday, the house was supposed to close but did not. My agent reached out to the listing agent and he (LA) believes its just a lender delay but unsure. My wife and I being major creeps, learned the sellers drove back for the close, meaning it was more than likely unexpected. I know there are so many scenarios for this, some which would benefit us and it very well may just close. NC contracts permit a 14-day window to close so I guess all we can do is wait. However, those with experience please chime in, is there any amount of hope given this seems to be unexpected/last minute??? TIA

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...
