Real estate website put me in touch with this realtor...

When I was looking to buy a house recently, I applied on a popular real estate website to see a house. The agent they put me in touch with asked if we could talk on the phone. Conversation went like this:

Agent: Yes, this home remains available and qualifies for the No Down Payment Program.

Questions?

Me: I'd like to visit it. Tomorrow, if possible, but most mornings this week work

Agent: Working with any agents?

Me: I am not. I was under the impression that the website would put me in contact with an available agent. If you're not available, that's ok! It emailed me two agents

Agent: I was simply asking a question due to ethics. You're not looking for quality with the biggest investment of your life. The average REALTOR sells 6 houses a year and most are part time. All the best OP!

At the time I was incredibly confused and chalked it up to him being incredibly rude, but now I'm wondering... did I do something wrong?

Eta: I responded with "I'm extremely confused. I just thought you were saying you were unavailable and I was trying to convey that that was fine." And he ignored me. Someone else from his company with the same last name emailed me later and asked if I was free to see the house, which I found odd, and turned down.

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...
