New Construction Condo Purchase NYC

Hi all, I am 29 years old that has built up a nest egg of 50k in liquid assets. My father wants to gift me a down payment on a real estate venture. He has also said he would be able to pay cash and me pay him back to avoid financing. I have my eye on 610 square feet new construction condo with brilliant amenities in the perfect location for me. Asking price is 700k. The sales team advised half of the building has already been bought and all at the ask, so negotiating seems futile. Neighborhood comps seem to reveal this offering is in line in price per square feet. Through my profession (litigation compliance) I have connections to trust and estate, tax, and real estate attorneys, yet I am totally clueless and want to be prepared for some conversations that I’m setting up in the near future. What should I be asking them? What kind of research should I have at the ready when going into talks with my attorneys and CPA? And should I line up a buyer’s broker? A friend recommended me to a broker which said the seller covers his fee, which he mentioned he can split with me. Sorry if these are naive questions and many thanks for your time in reading this.

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...
