It reminds me of the "breakfeast committment" scenario: The Chicken has an "interest" in your breakfeast, while the Pig is "Committed" to your breakfeast.
When you rent, your "interested" in the housing prices, when you own, your on the committment side of the equation.
I say sell if you can, who the hell knows whats going to happen as Bugs say's….I would not be too committed to anything that I dont have a good feel for the positive outcome.
