Jill and Derick Dillard Settle Into New Home Ahead of Baby #3’s Arrival
Jill Dillard and Derick Dillard announced plans to move their family so Derick could accept a job offer last month. Now, the former reality TV stars are sharing their new digs with their followers, and it looks like they’ll be settling into their new home just before baby number 3 arrives. So, where are Jill and Derick setting down roots? According to reports, they’ll be living in a small town on the border of Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Jill and Derick have officially purchased a new home
Jill and Derick have made it official; they have a brand-new home. On May 23, Jill took to Instagram to share photos of their recently renovated new house. The four-bedroom house appears to be substantially larger than the couple’s starter home. It has an open concept kitchen, a large living space, and several bedrooms. Jill hasn’t shared a complete home tour just yet.
According to the U.S. Sun, the couple purchased their new home base for $385,000. It is located in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. The couple’s new town is about 30 minutes from Derick’s rumored new job in Stilwell, Oklahoma. It’s about 40 minutes from the family’s former town and about 25 minutes from the Duggar family’s Tontitown, Arkansas compound.
Jill and Derick made a tidy profit on their recent home sale
The couple’s new house is quite a bit larger than their starter home in Lowell, Arkansas. The sale of that home seems to have made this all possible. The couple managed to turn a pretty hefty profit on the home they purchased in 2019.
According to property records, Jill and Derick bought the four-bedroom, 2-bathroom, new construction abode for $187,729. They sold the home in May 2022 for $305,000. The house sold after less than a month on the market. The property was originally listed for $279,000. The more than $100,000 profit surely helped offset the couple’s moving and renovation costs.
Jill Dillard is due with her third child in July
The move couldn’t have happened soon enough for Jill and Derick. The couple has experienced a lot of changes in recent months, and it looks like they are ready for one more. In February, Jill and Derick announced that they were, once again, expecting. They revealed that their third child is a boy a few weeks later. The new addition is due sometime in July.
Jill and Derick are already the parents of two boys. Israel Dillard, 7, was born in 2015. Samuel Dillard was born in 2017. He will turn 5 in July. Jill and Derick have opted to do things much differently than Jill’s own parents. The couple sends their children to public school and is planning their family size. Jill remains largely estranged from her parents, although her biggest gripe appears to be with her father, Jim Bob Duggar, whom she called “verbally abusive” in a recent court testimony.
