USPS Delivery Issues with new purchase

Just purchased an existing SFH in a suburb community. I am now just finding out that the USPS has been refusing to deliver mail to my mail box because the carrier received complaints from my neighbor for damage to his lawn. This is a suburb community where the carrier drives up to each mailbox to deliver mail, and he is not able to park and walk to deliver letters. Our mailboxes sit about 5 feet away from the curb, and apparently in the past he would drive up to my mailbox, deliver mail, then drive off crossing my neighbors lawn. The neighbor complained and USPS is now refusing to deliver mail to my mailbox due to it's location, and USPS states the only options are for me to move the mailbox or to pick up my mail at their office.

This is a rather expensive brick-built mailbox, so rebuilding one is costly. My main question: Was the seller of my property required to disclose this issue with the nieghbor and the fact that the USPS has not been delivering mail to the property given the placement of the mail box? None of this was disclosed and we found out after closing when we noticed mail not arriving. Property is in Florida.

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...
