I'd consult a tax consultant to check on the implications of a loss. It might take _some_ of the sting out of the loss.

How is your income this year? If you take a loss on the house, I think you'll be able to write that against income. If you can, take the loss over a few years to only reduce your income in the top income tax bracket, to maximize the deductibility.
