The Blom family from Een huis vol has bought a new home: 'Finally a success'

The search for a new, larger home was a challenging one. "After eleven viewings and nine offers, we finally found it! We bought a house," the family reports.

Maarten and Gerdine will unfortunately have to leave Bodegraven behind. "It turns out house prices are considerably lower ten kilometers away, so we're going to Waddinxveen," the large family reveals.

The house is much bigger, but there's still a lot to do. That's quite a challenge now that Gerdine is pregnant. "It's a bit of a tight schedule because of the arrival of our baby (I'm due in early September, and thankfully everything is going well)." They'll get the keys to their new home in early October.

"At the same time, it's nice that we're going to renovate and move during my leave period, so I don't have to go to work and we can fully focus on our family and our new home," the mater familias writes.

Their house in Bodegraven will be on the market in September. "It's a lovely home in a fantastic location, but we're all just growing out of it..."

Gerdine and Maarten are expecting their ninth child. After a miscarriage, the pregnancy feels like a "blessing from God." You can learn more about it in the video below.
