Should we relist now or wait until autumn to sell?

Put house on market in March, just as everything went very quiet with Iran/Us war.

It's a typical 3 bed in an area full of typical 3 beds. Estate agent had been confident of a sale. Had several price estimates which were very similar.

Had almost no viewings in March/April but things have picked up but no offers. I can see other houses locally are selling. We have dropped the price a little. I think that our house is lacking a couple of things (e.g boarded loft, kitchen -diner knock through), which means there is always something else more popular. It is priced lower to account for this.

We have to consider school applications and really wanted to move by end of Jan 2027. However accepting this might not happen.

Trying to decide whether to relist in July with a different agent (possible slight price drop), to try and get some interest and possibly managing to still move by Christmas. But worried July and Aug are traditionally quiet times and will be obvious to many buyers we have just relisted.

Or, take off the market, relist in autumn with a different agent and hope we look ' new' to buyers and it is busy again. But won't be able to move for school deadline.

Have asked some EA, but they are just saying what I want to hear to get me to go with them.

Generally have no knowledge about this sort of thing, so any insights?

I'm not sure it matters much. I'm looking to move and won't stop looking over the summer. If you are only moving agent so it shows as a new listing speak to your current agent as I think if they remove it for say 8 weeks it shows as a new listing when it goes live and that might save you the bother.
