What effect accident has on future car value

My 2021 M340i was rear ended last month and it is currently in the shop being repaired. The car has 20k miles and is in excellent condition, and repairs are being done by a Mercedes Benz dealer body shop. I expect it to be a quality repair.

Since this repair will always show up on carfax, I wonder if I should plan to do something other than keep my car for another 2-3 years. My logic is that selling it in the next year while a vehicle like this is hard to find might get more out of it than waiting until later when the supply chain issues are resolved. It’s a well-optioned Black Sapphire / Oyster x-drive that would do well on the used market if someone isn’t scared off by the accident repair.
