How to tell my realtor I want to rescind my offer?

I’ll start by saying that I’m a very non-confrontational person. My (20M) husband and I (20F) are in the process of buying our first house. However, he’s stationed in another country and we’re moving 8 hours away from where I live, so we’re relying on our realtor quite a bit when it comes to seeing houses. We kind of jumped the gun and put in an offer on a house that we aren’t too crazy about. We got scared because the market is crazy right now, so we settled. However, the more we look at the house, the more we HATE it. We want to tell the realtor that we want to rescind the offer, but I’m really nervous about it. I feel like I have made him run around a lot, and I don’t want to make it worse. My husband says that it isn’t a big deal and that we haven’t run him ragged because he’s only viewed 3 houses for us, but I’m still really nervous about telling him we want to rescind the offer. Can someone help me figure out what to say to him?

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...
