The sale would imply the family of five is finally ready to start their life at their dream abode.
The pair demolished the existing home in 2017, then completed excavation works to prepare the site for a brand new, five-level mansion complete with a gym and pool.
The construction on the $4million block of land was originally estimated to cost the couple a further $4.2million to develop - however it appears that budget has now been blown out.
A new Development Application to Randwick council was lodged in February 2020, which requested amendments to the original plans.

According to a report published by News Corp in 2018, construction of the Warners' property had 'infuriated neighbours' at the time.
One neighbour was quoted as saying: 'Trucks have been coming and going for months, but then we don't see anything for a couple of weeks. We expected this to be built by now — he bought the place ages ago and it's not pretty to look at.'
Some neighbours had previously complained about the noise, and works had also led to limited street access and 'restricted parking' at times.
Discussing the build with Daily Mail Australia that same year, Elvis Mardini, the owner of Mardini Constructions, said that locals had been 'calling the council every day'.
'The neighbours think it's going to take away from their view but it won't. I think they've got an issue with David and Candice, but they don't know them,' he said at the time.
At the time, Mardini predicted the property would be finished by December 2019, two years after construction first began in 2017.
David and Candice, who married in 2015, are parents to daughters Ivy, six, Indi, five, and Isla, one.
