"Sorry 😳 at least you’re prepared " No, not really. I'm in one of the worst possible positions. I sold my house in Sacramento and moved back to my home town (3 sisters). I have been in a hotel since. Each of my sisters has circumstances that preclude my consideration of staying with any of them, from a 91 year old mother, and one having a heart attack, the other a series of strokes and a heart attack. I won't put any risk on them. I've made full price offers on 9 different houses and haven't been able to get anything through escrow. All my sh!t is in storage, to include firearms, 90 miles away. But I have one now that is likely to close by the end of the month. However, now the county recorders office is closed, the mortgage broker's funders are in Santa Clara under full lockdown. And now the escrow office is closed. WTH? I am buying frozen stuff, juice, nuts etc. from the local Save Mart and keeping it the 1/2 fridge. Going out every 2 days. And now my old hometown is going on lockdown and the hotel says I can't stay more than 30 days without checking out for at least 2 and returning. So NO, I am not prepared at all.

“So NO, I am not prepared at all.”
Damn. Just based on what you said, I think I’d cancel everything and get in an extended stay executive hotel. Asset deflation is going to be the norm. A wait of 3 to 4 months may cut 25% off the price of that new house. Maybe more.
Hopefully the extended stay place will be planning on staying open.

The hotel should wave that length of stay due to Corona. The state may issue some edicts. Hotels along the gulf coast wave all kinds of things after a cane rolls through.

Bummmmmmer!!! Sorry to hear that.
I like the idea of the extended stay hotel.
Either that, or maybe have your realtor look for a short term rental?

People are going to start selling their toys about now. Buy a cab-over camper truck for a grand or two and park it at Walmart, even if it has to be towed there. Gotta be cheaper (and safer) than a hotel, unless you’re really into the Hilton :) You can always donate it to ‘cars for kids’ and write it off in your relocation expenses (the running joke in our house is, how many cars do that darn kids need?)
