As an appraiser, I agree. SELL SELL SELL. Rent in the meantime if you'd like to stay put. The economics make more sense.

The liquidity of these markets is vastly lower than that of equities. Also remember Keynes: "The market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent" or in this case longer than the contract durations offered.
