Cohousing-L Mailing List: Speed (or lack thereof) of Cohousing Units

[Diane Simpson (dqs]

Hi Everyone!
I'm trying to collect some information on the speed (or lack of speed) of
cohousing unit sales. I'm not talking about the lot-development model, in
which  everyone designs and builds their own house. I'm talking about the
build-from scratch model in the time period after the design has been
finalized and you've gone out to recruit the last few members. How long a
time period was that for you? What were real estate conditions like in the
surrounding area? Were you in a rural, suburban or urban area? Did you run
into any stiff competition from other housing developments? What were they?
What would you have done differently?

Any help will be greatly appreciated--replies to the list, or off the list,
whatever you feel like.

Thanks!
