House on Market for 7 months - this has ruined my life

I have had my house on the market for almost 7 months in Florida. It went on the market in June. We decided to sell it since we have been renting it out due to having jobs and life in another state, and we did not think we wanted to go back there. My renter moved out in June, so I have been paying rent and mortgage for 7 months now. After the 3rd month I was getting nervous. When it came to the second week of November I was slightly panicking, and now we are are in a world of trouble due to debt from paying double rent/mortgage, and I was not in good shape financially when this started. I have had no offers, besides a ridiculously low invested offer that was kinda spam, I have reduced the price by 85k, and there is just no movement. As of the end of this month we are going to have to upend our lives and move back into the house. My partner is going to either quit his job, or we are going to have to live separately until the house is not stale real estate anymore. We are just sick about this. Two other people I know in real estate blame my realtor. He has been a friend, and sold my last house and found me renters when we had to move, but people say it seems like he didn’t hustle enough for this house in a challenging market. I am probably going to have to declare bankruptcy, and we don’t even have the money to move due to the double expenses for so long. This has been a nightmare. I know I am blessed to have property, and understand that many are struggling, but I never thought that this house would be the thing that ruined our lives. Anyone else had similar situations and have some creative solutions?

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...
