Undisclosed total loss fire

I bought a home in NC about 4 months ago. I just discovered the entire original home that was here originally completely burnt down. About 2 years after that, the new current house was built. This was with the same owner that I bought the house from, as in they were the owners of the house that burnt down and the one I’m now living in so they of course know of this.

There was no mention of this in the property disclosures, and I was never officially informed of this. This seems like way too big of a thing to not disclose and certainly can't be legal. All of the property disclosures were answered based on the current rebuilt home.

I'm not sure what the value in me knowing would've been but I certainly would've liked to know this during the DD phase to ask more questions and make sure that everything was a complete rebuild and ensure that nothing was re used, but their failure to disclose that led to me not having that opportunity.

Anyone else dealt with something like this? Yes I’m talking to my agent and will plan to ask my closing attorney.

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...
