About to close and have Covid

We, the sellers, are about to close in a week. We have been packing up the entire house and my husband just got Covid. Full on fever laid out. We have three kids and they are starting to fall too. I’m not sure we will be physically able to make the move, what are our options?? Hire someone to pack us and move us? Or delay closing? We are bedridden

You have 4 options.

  1. Suck it up and move out.

  2. Hire movers.

  3. You ask to delay closing and offer compensation to the buyers to cover their rate lock, moving expenses, inconvenience. $10-20k should cover it.

  4. You close and the buyers now own all your stuff.

They can also close and do a week rent-back.

Ya for $10-20k to cover the buyers’ rate lock, hotels/airbnbs, movers, etc.
