Do house's really sell in hours?

I am an inheriter on an estate. We have been trying to sell a house for about a year now. 3 sales have fallen through. We have 5 inheriters. The main one is sketchy but we just want to sell it and be done.

The question is: should we really only have 24 hours or less to accept the offer to sell the house? Its always less than 16 hours and they always blow our phones up to drop everything and sign the papers within 2 to 16.

I am wondering if this is realistic. With 3 previous offers myself and my 2 siblings dropped things (no matter the inconvenience) and signed paperwork. At the time, I was day shift at flexible job, one sibling had graduated school and was doing deliveries working toward opening their own business, and the last sibling was a security guard for a private company. Now all of careers are much more involved and have taken off very well in the last 2-4 months. All 3 of us nearly got fired for the lengths these people went through to get ahold of us to day when my mother told them we were all at work and able to answer and they were not kind when we did not sign the deal by 2000 and we lost the sale.

I just don't think that is how it really works but I know I can be wrong and want to figure out how to verify. Any help is appreciated.

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...
