Cohousing-L Mailing List: Experience with Co-Buying / Co-Purchasing?

[Stuart Bush (stuartgbush]

Dear Cohousing Friends - Rachel Carson EcoVillage, a multigenerational, 
welcoming community, is under construction 10 miles north of Pittsburgh and has 
26 of 35 units committed. As we are selling our final units, we are encouraging 
co-buying (alongside other strategies) among some of our potential residents to 
help with affordability. 

Request: As we work to better support potential co-buyers, we are interested in 
hearing of successes by other co-housing communities. Do you have co-buying 
success stories you can share with us? What advice can you share about your 
success?

If you are interested in learning about co-buying, I recommend Sarah Well’s 
CohoUS talk: 
https://cohousinginstitute.org/product/innovations-community-housing/. Sarah is 
a principal with Live Work Denver https://liveworkdenver.com/ which is a leader 
in promoting co-buying in Colorado. Live Work Denver offers an online course 
about principles of co-buying.

Thank you!
