You are welcome, sir.
It is easy to form attachments to real property, which tend to give us a sense of permanence and stability. But the reality is that we are all on this earth for a relatively short time - make the most of it! - and nothing lasts forever.
Too, virtually all possessions are fungible. If you decide to sell, it is unlikely that you would be able to buy the same property back at some later date; but that doesn't mean that you couldn't find another one equally good, or even better. Most locations and houses have both pros and cons.
You know all of the facts, and we only know a few; so do whatever you feel is right for you. I did not mean to suggest that you would be crazy to keep the second property, merely that rigid thinking is undesirable.
