Cohousing-L Mailing List: economics of resale

[Lou Lieb (louislieb]

Being new to this, and interested in purchasing an existing unit, how should I 
understand the resale value? For example, how would an appraiser go about 
finding "comparables", since co-housing is very different and attracts a fairly 
small group of interested people? If the "comparable" non-cohousing unit 
doesn't have common facilities, how do you add in something for the common 
elements? 
Is co-housing running higher (price-wise) than comparable condominiums or 
townhouses?
