Home on the market - now I feel sad!

[Bedtime91]

It's the right thing to do - we've grown out of it, it's a two bedroom house for me, DP, toddler, baby and dog

Now the reality of seeing it listed online for sale just makes me feel so sad about leaving it!

It's been our first proper home, I've put so much effort into making it a lovely place for us to live, DD2 was born in the front room!!

I'm sure it's a normal feeling, just having a vent and wondering if others felt the same way

Normal- I'm feeling the same. I feel like I've betrayed it!!

I thought I would feel sad, but I focused my mind on feeling proud of how nice the photos looked, all the improvements we'd made over the years, and the hope that our lovely family home would soon have another family in it, excited to make it their own. It's worked out just that way. :)

Yes totally felt like that when we moved. It went away more or less as soon as we moved into our new house though!

I feel you. I am having the same feelings about our house which we have put on the market recently. DH and I have talked about moving near the sea for as long as we have been together. With our eldest daughter already moved out and our youngest DD off to Uni in a few weeks, we have put the house on the market. I was fine about it going on, after all we have talked about this for years, but now its happened I feel somewhat sad.

I love this house. I raised my daughters here, there are wonderful memories in every corner of this house and garden and it has served us well. But it is the end of an era and I feel my DH and are ready for the next chapter but I definitely underestimated how difficult it would be to leave this house. Not only the house but the village where we live and the wonderful neighbours and friends we have here.

I know its the right move for us, but it doesn't stop me feeling a little sad at the end of an era. But its time for another lovely family to move here now and make their own memories here.

I will shed some tears as we go but ultimately feel excited for what is to come next. Life is full of new adventures and its time to move on. xxx

We are in the same position as you, although I had my house by myself before I was married so it's mine. It's absolutely perfect for my personality and I'm gutted to be leaving it, although we desperately need to move as we are overcrowded. I keep having a little cry although my mind tells me it's for the best.
