Am I being played by my sales agent?

So my elderly mother and I are selling riverfront property in our area, which is somewhat coveted. We have an old house which will have to be torn down or dramatically renovated. Most of what we are selling is for the land and the view. So we signed a contract with a realtor who suggested we list at $250k. We signed. Three days later she called and said we had drastically overpriced and should list closer to $200k. There was no new information she had learned or gained between the two calls. She made have had a casual conversation with a neighbor but it wasn't listed yet or anything. Is she just trying to get this off her books asap or something? We would rather wait and list and see what kind of offers we get after listing at the original price she suggested. Again, she suggested the original listing price, not us. Something feels off here. Any 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...
