Its with great regret

Does this makes sense? How does a native write?

It is with great regret that I'm selling this. I'm selling it because I have to not because I want to

Hi,
It is with great regret that I'm selling this. -- Fine.
I'm selling it because I have to, not because I want to. -- Fine as corrected (somewhat informal).

Regards
