Cohousing-L Mailing List: pricing units

[Tom Lent (tlent]

Newcomer to the list here so excuse me if this topic has been 
discussed before (just point me to where in archives).

I am from the Berkeley Cohousing group. We are in a strange 
financial netherworld having bought our property as a tenancy in 
common in February of 94 and are slowly working our way to a decision 
on long term financial structure (anyone want to give me their two 
cents worth on why go co-op or why go condo?). We are also slowly 
making our way toward designs to add 2 to 4 units to our current 10 
units. When it is all over we will have new financing, new ownership 
structures and new prices on al of the living units. What a lot of 
fun decisions to make!

My question today is does anyone out there have advice for us on how
you set unit pricing? A specific question I am grappling with is how
to value the amenity of the common house and split it between units
of different sizes?

Thanks, 

Tom
