Assumable VA loan condo seller changed his mind a week before closing

We found a great deal for a condo with an assignable VA loan at 2.23% which is unheard of. We have been under contract with it for over 3 months and have done everything we needed to. We are at underwriting now and should close within a week or two. The problem is the contract stipulates the deal has to close by June 20th. Assuming a VA loan takes forever so we needed the time. We did everting as fast as possible as far as providing documentation etc to the loan officer.

So as of yesterday our realtor informed us the seller just now realized by us assuming his VA loan would mean he loses his benefits. He claims he did not know that and we are taking advantage of him not knowing and we are going to cost him tons of money if we don’t back out. He also refuses to sign an extension which is a big problem because I have a feeling we will need another few days past the 20th to close. It’s been over 3 full months and we need an extra 5 days and now he changed his mind and the deal might fall through. How could this guy not know what happens with VA assumable loans?? And the audacity for him to claim we are bad people if we go through with the deal despite him changing his mind at the last minute.

Edit: just got an email and the contract has officially been canceled. 3 months and $1200 wasted because this moron didn’t know about assuming VA loans. Just had to rant I guess

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...
