When siblings disagree about inherited property during midlife transitions

My sister and I inherited our parents' house two years ago and we can't decide what to do with it because we're both in this phase of life where we're trying to figure out what matters to us and what we want to carry forward from our family. She wants to sell and move on, and I keep thinking about renovating it as a retreat space, but really we're both processing what it means to be the generation in charge now and we haven't talked about that part.
