Well I’ve made a HUGE mistake. I found out I was pregnant with baby #2 and we rushed to find a new home to accommodate our growing family. Due to the limited market this fall we settled on a home that was actually 50k under what we were going to pay but it needs a little work, which we knew.
Well, we put in an offer and I immediately began regretting the decision. I hate the super steep driveway, the neighborhood and now everything seems to be replaced...we already replaced the stove, dishwasher and now we have new windows coming for downstairs. I hate the outside of the house, the lay out, the small bedrooms, etc. I told my husband what I was thinking during the buying process when we were in due diligence and I even wanted to back out a week before and he told me a was being crazy or hormonal.
This house was not the house I wanted or envisioned being our 2nd home but we were going to have a slightly lower mortgage and we took out money to pay off all our credit card debt. Financially is was a great move however I should known myself better and we should have spent more to get what I really wanted in a home that would have lasted 10+ years.
Now I am stuck. Being pregnant, working from home and covid having me stuck at home more... I can’t help but manifest on it every freaking day for the last 4 months of being here. It’s weighing on my marriage as well because I can’t help but mention to my husband how much this house sucks. I wish he would have listened to me or I would have listened to myself more but now I am literally counting down to when we can move again which I am hoping is the end of the year but my husband is telling me we need to wait 2-3 years.
Has anyone else experienced this? What is the fastest you can sell without a huge loss? How can I make it better without pouring more money into? I am almost on the verge of tears because of this house which could also be because I am 7 months preggo...any advice is welcome.
