Working out timeline

[Mumto21234]

Can someone help me work out what is best to do next...
Split from husband 2 months ago due to cheating, currently pregnant and due soon.
We need to sell house, and I would like to get all pictures etc taken before baby comes just to save the clutter. But can't decide whether to put it up for sale around a month after I am due baby so its up before winter time or hold off till december/January?
Left making all the decisions and cannot figure out what the right thing to do is.
Plan to stay here for first couple of months of baby being born then move in with family for a short period of time whilst I buy my own place.

Personally I would just wait until after Christmas, not only does it then mean the house is fresh on the market for the new year buyers but it also gives you a chance to recover from birth & settle into motherhood a little bit- I couldn’t think of anything worse 4 weeks postpartum than having to clean and tidy the entire house and have strangers walking around!

I would wait until you’ve had the baby. Once you’ve moved in with family, not only will the baby paraphernalia go with you, but (if local enough) maybe one of them can have the baby for a couple of hours here and there while you go back to the house and get it ready, room by room. I’ve sold a few properties and have always had to sign the EA contract before photos are taken then it’s immediately on the market. Also top tip - don’t be afraid to ask for help. I’m not usually one to, but I had to sell the family home with terrible timing and my friends were amazing. I have fond memories of that and it’s really helped move on to the new chapter.

Thanks everyone. Think you are all right, in that waiting until after baby is here is going to be easier. I think part of me is just desperate to get ball rolling and start process of this new chapter if my life, but would probably be more stressful straight after having had a baby!
