This happens all the time.
There are several options, all of them somewhat uncomfortable.
Ask the new owners of your present house if they'll rent it to you, prorated to a daily rate, until you take possession of your own new house nine days after closing.
Rent storage space and a motel room.
Rent storage space and a weekly apartment.
Rent storage space and stay with friends.
Congratulations on the new house. A few weeks after you've settled in, you'll forget about the awful week in between.

The buyers of your house might be OK with not getting possession at closing. You might be able to rent back the house you sold for a per diem. I did that once. Have your lawyer call their lawyer.
If not, you will have to have the moving company store your stuff on the truck while you live in a motel for a few days.

I would think that you will be using storage with a long term move . I would just get an extended place hotel. bid on priceline for one. maybe they will have a pool that the kids will enjoy . it's a hassle, but i would close on time and get your money out in this market. the only other option is to ask to close on time and ask for a lease for the couple weeks , if the couple has no plans to move asap, they might not mind. no harm in asking.
either way, close , and get your money out. do not give the buyer an oppty to change mind . it's hard to get a good deal/buy in this market.
good luck to you.

Ask the buyer if you can maintain possession of the house for the extra days. You will be expected to pay them rent for the days you are in the house past closing.
If they refuse, you are going to have to find a place to stay in the meantime. A hotel like Extended Stay has kitchenettes.

I would look for a house for rent in the area. Tell the owner that you bought a house and need two weeks, but that you will pay for a month. If the owner has not been able to fill his house you have a good chance that they would say yes. good luck

I agree with Maryn. Whatever you choose, I would try to work something out so you don't lose the buyer. It will be somewhat stressful for a couple of weeks, but you'll forget about it once you get into the new home.

You'll need to find a short term rental. Not sure where you are buying, but look on the internet for extended stay hotel/motels.
