We are in an urban area so it makes a difference but we just had heavy 
competition for a three bedroom with a den and basement that I think 
finally sold for $425,000.00.

We have a waiting list for anything we are willing to sell -- mostly 
people who are waiting for cohousing. The homes are fairly standard 
condominium design, although on the small side to make the commonhouse 
more desirable.
