At Cornerstone Cohousing, we *do* have the right of first refusal — meaning 
that by master deed, we are entitled to cut to the front of the line in any 
unit purchase and sale, and take over a third party’s legitimate offer for the 
same terms.  But we’ve never exercised this right because (1) we don’t have any 
money set aside for the purpose, and (2) the sellers (meaning, our friends and 
neighbors) typically do not want us to “interfere” in what is already a 
challenging and anxiety-fraught process.  Legally, I do not know if the rules 
of foreclosure supersede our somnambulant ROFR.
