Offer expires before the next viewing, what is best to do?

We have been trying to sell our house in a small town for the past 3 weeks. We had around 7 viewings and two offers. One was too low and they didn't want to negotiate and the other one is 5% below asking price. But the offer expires 2h before another booked viewing.

The price they offered is the lowest we would feel OK accepting (not the happiest for sure), but because there is someone else interest in seeing the house, it makes me wonder if we would get a better offer.

The house is small with a large yard, we did major renovations in the last few years, but the basement is unfinished. There are no other houses in a similar price range as ours, and it's probably a starter home.

I know we are the only ones being able to decide what is best to do. But it's our first time selling a house and still not so sure what is the best course of action to take.

Because we have only received 2 offers in 3 weeks, is it better to just accept this offer, try to give a counteroffer or try to extend/inquire if the other people seeing the house are serious about it?

I would appreciate any thoughts or experiences people have had in the past.

Thank you

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...
