We’ve put our house on the market over the weekend and are looking to move over the next couple of months. We’ve viewed one house that we really liked and put an offer. The vendor is also looking for a house and has put our offer on hold until we can find a buyer which I completely understand. There is a risk whereby we could find a potential buyer but the house we offered could be off the market or the vendor might still not have a house to buy. There aren’t many new properties ticking our boxes in the new area so I’m wondering:
Can we withdraw our house from the market should we not find anything in the next month as the market will be worse in Christmas? We don’t want to be rushed as this is likely to be our long term home .
I’ve been flexible with the wider area but as we have 2 DCs we have to consider primary and secondary catchments which narrows down our options considerably.
I’m also worried about not finding a buyer for our house as it appears demand might have slowed down? We’re based in SE London for context.
I’ll be grateful if if you could share your experiences?
