<<<There is a 3rd obvious one... sell. I can't see getting this one past the wife (with child coming) and inlaws.>>

That is my problem too. I would move in an instant to a rental but my wife won't let me. :-)
I have been thinking about selling the house with a 5 year lease clause in it. Live here 5 yrs, pay reasonable lease rate, then move out at the end. Don't know if this is a viable option as who would buy a single family house and not live in immediately.
regards

Why not option the current price of the home, or do a reverse mortgage at current value.???
The bad part of this is that if Realestate continues to increase over the next 5 years, you have sold the option of future value. If you do a reverse mortgage ,set up with a bank or Real estate investment firm, you must be prepared to move at the specified time.JMHO.
Check with a good Tax consultant, or your bank.
