Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Home prices for cohousing

[Becky Weaver (beckyweaver]

Thanks everybody for your input. To re-phrase my question, in case it got lost 
in the shuffle - there a price "premium" on new cohousing homes, due to 
cohousing development costs, over other new homes in the area. 
 
Thinking back to when your community sold its brand-new homes for the first 
time around, what was that premium? I saw 21 - 27% for one community, which had 
22 homes. Would you say that 25% is more realistic than 10%, for the purposes 
of setting expectations in a new development? 
 
I am especially interested in feedback from communities in the 34 - 38 unit 
range.
 
Thanks,
