Sellers refusing to go through with possession of house

Context: Metro Vancouver Area

Apologies if we've posted to the wrong subreddit but hoping we can get guidance on a very stressful situation we are currently in. We're supposed to take possession of our new home tomorrow but today we were informed by our realtors that our sellers are refusing to hand over the keys for possession tomorrow. We've already closed on the property and it is / will be legally ours.

We sold our current home and the new buyers are supposed to be given possession of our place two days after we were supposed to move in. We will still be showing up with our realtor at possession time tomorrow very well prepared with the possibility they won't handover the keys at which point we will be going directly to lawyers.

Has anyone dealt with something similar or know how lawyers proceed in these situations? This is extremely stressful as we now have to arrange storage and seeking accommodation in a hotel. I really hope no one has to ever deal with a stressful situation like this let alone for the biggest purchase of their lives. Any insights or experiences or guidance is appreciated. Regardless, looking forward to seeing a lawyer tomorrow.

Thanks in advance!

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...
