And getting an apt again for adults to rotate and kids will stay in the former marital home. Plan to nest 2.5 years and then consider separate houses again IF they are close. It does not work if they are not close. Kids will be older then. 10 more years of coparenting. Nesting feels like work travel. Better for us.

Neither parent is considering remarriage or serious relationships (46/50).

So, you are going to sell your home, likely for a loss (good luck selling), and share a home with your exdh-instead of just ignoring a few texts and possibly buying a few school supplies? Sounds great!

Yes. House will sell in days. It is not a few texts: I am literally managing two houses in regard to kids stuff in both. It is too much. And too much coordination and talking; Kids need to stay put. Both houses will be sold in 3 years anyway. Our kids are in a different school now and we are driving 30 min each way. Far easier with kids in one place. We did not speak in the house when we were married. I did everything and easier to ignore each other. When we rotate, it is like ships in the night and we don’t talk. It is better.
