How much is a realistic cash price for my house?

Hello! So here´s my situation: I bought a house about 1 year ago, last July 2024. Initially, it was my dream home BUT, after spending a year in it, I realized that as a single guy living all alone in a big house, it is A LOT of upkeep and work. Fast forward to now, and by one of those shockingly unexpected moments, I was able to get a European passport due to ancestry and i REALLY love Europe. Anyway I wont bore you with details about my personal preferences, but here's the situation: the house is worth about 285k on the market. I am selling it for that price but its been over a month and sadly, not a single offer. I REALLY want to get rid of the mortgage at this point...and desperate to sell, so id even be willing to sell it for my loan amount which is 240k.

It's an American foursquare home, 4 bedrooms, 2000 sq feet, LIVABLE, except it does have knob and tube wiring and the original windows, which means some dont open. realistically, could I get at least 230-240k for my home? I know I've read cash buyers offer 70% of the house but that's I think when the home is not livable or needs extensive repairs? Mine does not, except for the wiring issue, but the kitchen is newly wired. Anyway, realistically, would a cash buyer company offer at least in the 200ks? It's also got brand new vinyl siding.

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...
