Ladies I need opinions 😶😩😶😩😶😩

This is gonna be kinda long

I've posted before that hubby and I are in the process of buying a house. We wanted to have a place that was just ours to bring our daughter home too 🏡🏡🏡

Well we started trying to get one house in particular back in early May. We were told they accepted our offer back on early June. Well now it's mid September and still nothing. No contract no paperwork no keys nothing. They called us back wanting more money than what they originally accepted or no deal just 2 weekish ago. We said we would consider since we still think it's worth it if they could give us a deadline for when we could have the keys. Never heard back. Called today and we're told they don't feel done negotiating! 😧😠😧😠It's a great place buy I feel like there just gonna keep dragging this out and it's gonna be another 6 months before I'm even close to in that house. That means living with my daughter and husband at my abusive mothers house for an indefinite amount of time 😫😭

I already feel like I'm at my breaking point here. So I talked to my dad and his idea was look at other properties in the meantime and if I find a good one then I can retract my offer on the first house. Since I've signed no contract or anything I'm not penalized and they have to return my money already deposited (says my dad. he's been in real estate since before I was born, my personal knowledge is minimal)

It makes me sad to think after all this waiting I won't get this house I was so sure is perfect for my family but I did start looking and being completely honest I think I found a suitable replacement. Hubby and I are going to go look at it in person and if it fits us my dad is going to check it then I will offer on it. But I don't want to make the wrong choice 😯😯 I'm gonna post a description of each house (the one I've been waiting for and the one I'm considering) and I'm hoping you ladies can tell me what you think or would do? I'm due in 12 days so I think unfortunately either way I'll be moving with a newborn.

I'll post pictures of the new house in the comments but I don't have pictures of the original.

😸

So the original house is in a neighborhood I love. Very close to my favorite parts of town. But closer to my family than I'd like I do worry they would always be over. It's a 3 bedroom house with 1 bathroom and an unfinished basement. it's kinda small honestly I think only like 800 sq ft. My dad was going to put in a second bathroom in the basement. Has a 1 car detached garage and a small fenced in yard. It did need some work. The entire kitchen needs to be gutted. All carpets need replacing. The walls all need painting. And the basement needs finished. But I really thought it could work for us. The neighborhood is hands down the nicest neighborhood I've ever had a chance to live in. 🆕🆕🆕🆕🆕

This new home I don't know as much about. The website I viewed it on said it's a 2 bedroom then later said it's a 3 idk which. It has 1 bathroom. It's bigger. It's about 1200 sq ft. And the yard is bigger but I don't think it's fenced in. It's in a different neighborhood farther from my family (but still reachable in about 15 to 20 minutes) and is closer to hubby's family too so both sides could see our daughter. It's got a 2 car attached garage. A fireplace and a pretty back patio. It's in a good neighborhood too. A wealthy neighborhood without much crime. It's a quiet area.

I'm just not sure. I see good in both but I don't have to wait forever for the second. But I don't know what work the second needs.

I'm gonna post pictures but gimme a few min my phone is slow today.

Sorry this is so long I just really don't know what is best for my daughter
