Our house is up for sale for 5 months, but hasn’t sold yet and we’re due our second baby in June. We have just reduced the price, can’t reduce down any lower without loosing money.
We live in a beautiful 2 bed house that we’re very comfortable in but just want the kids to have their own room.
Option A) leave it on the market with the hope it sells. Potentially could mean moving with a newborn and a toddler but then the kids shouldn’t have to share a room and once we’ve moved we’ll be settled for 10+ years
Option B) take it off the market, gives us time to nest/get ready for our daughters arrival and adapt as a family of 4. Kids can share a room once she is 6 months old (oldest will be 2 years) as the second bedroom is a large double. Get a conservatory which will create more space downstairs as we can move the dining room table. Relist the property approx January 2027 then hopefully find our next long term home afterwards

Don’t get a conservatory. I hate ours and a lot of people are put off buying a house with a conservatory.
