Sell condo at loss or risk renting?

Hello, I bought a condo in Atlanta several years ago and recently have begun the process of relocating back home. I have picked the worst time in the world to do this apparently :’) The place has been on the market for 2 months with only one showing. My current options in this market are either drop the price to where I would have to bring $7k to closing, rent it out at about a $200-300 loss, or just try and wait it out another year. My partner has already relocated ahead of me, so waiting long enough for the market to bounce back isn’t very feasible, but my job is remote so technically possible. I don’t want to drain my savings just to get this place off my hands and prevent myself from being able to buy again in a couple years, but I’m also terrified about the risks of renting past just the initial monthly loss (tenants not paying, maintenance costs, potential future vacancy). Any thoughts on best way to approach this without making a decision I’ll kick myself for down the line?

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...
