Cohousing-L Mailing List: Home prices for cohousing

[Rick Mockler (rick]

The 10-15% premimum for cohousing that Becky refers to is accounted for
by several factors, only one of which is the generous common facilities.


The small scale of cohousing projects also makes a difference.
Homebuilders today achieve economies by designing and building hundreds
of homes at a time.  A third factor is the green features, which usually
aren't included in mainstream residential developments.  They save money
down the road, but they cost more up front.
