Just listed our house today [CA]

Feeling very excited but also nervous. We have never sold a house before but we have a great agent who was actually my maid of honor so we have 100% trust in her.

We were back and forth on the listing price, three weeks ago we thought $600k, then last week we decided on $610K based off of comps, then today we saw that the same exact model of our house was being listed for $630K. Theirs has a third car garage and their lot is 500SF bigger than ours, but the finishes are not as nice as ours, the house is 3 years older than ours, and the neighborhood isn’t quite as nice as ours so we decided to come in $15K lower than them for a listing price of $615K. I’m feeling pretty confident about where we sit price wise, but I’m sure I’ll be anxious tomorrow if my agents phone isn’t ringing off the hooks(we have a very aesthetically pleasing house) as we’re expecting a lot of lookers. We’re in a town of 75,000 people an hour east of the east bay and there are only 3 houses for sale in that price range including ours so we’re hoping it’s busy.

With all that being said IF we do get multiple offers how do we choose, our agent has briefly talked about it with us as we have not gotten to that point yet, but I honestly just want to go with whoever offers is the most money. Reading through this sub I see there are many other factors to include in this decision. What would be a main factor that could deter us from choosing the person with the highest offer?

Also, if we do two offers for the same amount can the bid it up and submit a higher offer, or do we just choose between the two?

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...
