When siblings disagree about inherited family property

My brother and I inherited our parents' house and we both have strong feelings about what to do with it — he wants to sell it and split the money but I feel like we should keep it in the family. Neither of us can afford to buy the other out and every conversation about it ends with one of us feeling like the other doesn't understand what this place means.
