New Home purchase (TX). My home seems to being built to a lesser standard than all others (by the same builder). More thermoply is being used than other homes. What can I do?

I went to visit the house and noticed that my home is being built with thermo ply on the sides and back of the house. OSB is being used in the front.

On all other houses that i drove by, there was OSB in the front and back with thermo ply on the sides.

I signed the contract agreement several months ago and got it for a much lower price than what they are going for now.

Im not sure which other houses may have signed before me but from what i could tell, mine was the only house like this...I think there may have been 1 other one that also a set up like mine (and i think was also an early signer).

At first I thought maybe it was an elevation issue (some houses are stucco) but all the houses i drove by seemed to have OSB in the back.

I know lumber is at a high right now but it doesn't seem right that they are building my house with less quality.

I even drove by their other subdivision they are building and the homes there are the same (OSB in front and back).

This is a bit higher end builder and from what i've seen, thermoply is mainly used by the lower end builders).

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...
