We’re being ignored by the seller agent. Help! Is this legal?

Hello. We have been searching for a home for a year and finally found one we love. We placed an offer WELL over listing price with no contingencies other than normal inspection to hopefully ensure that we will get the home.

The sellers agent sent over what was included with the home for us to sign, and seeing as how there were no other offers, we saw this as a sign that they were about to accept our offer.

72 hours have passed, we have had to resubmit the offer again and we have no idea what is happening. When my agent asked about offers, we find out there are none… they will not give us any update on our offer or how long they plan on stringing us out for an answer. I find it incredibly odd that they have no offers and act like our offer is trash and ignore us.

Here’s where it gets sketchy. The realtor used to live in the home and is heavily emotionally attached via his Facebook post. (Yes, I began sleuthing at this point) He had a friend of the family say they are interested. At this point I feel like this home is not available to purchase. It’s like they are ignoring us to keep an offer on the table while trying to figure out if a family friend will buy it? Why even list it then? Really frustrating and more so because we are on a timeline to vacate our current home. Thoughts?

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...
