Unpermitted Remodel in Peoria AZ

I’m under contract buying a house and the seller is a roofer company and they disclosed remodeling the kitchen, bathroom and floors and replaced the roof. When I asked for permits they said they did not get permits for the work, and my realtor is down playing it as permits are not needed for “cosmetic work”. The seller also is proving CLUE history for the one month the past 2 months only which is how long they’ve had the house for and refuse to provide CLUE report for past 5 years. The seller is a roofer company and they bought the house for $300k in June. My instincts are telling there was fire in the house which is why the first owner sold it for only $300k and the current investor seller who flipped it wants $440k and I’m under contract for that amount, but I’m considering backing away because of no permits and no CLUE history for past 5 years, but my realtor says that’s fine. Nobody gets permits here for remodel. It’s not California. I don’t know if I believe her. What would you do if you were in my situation?

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...
