Cohousing-L Mailing List: re-sale-ability of cohousing units

[Erika Lockhart (fiatgirl]

Hello, all!

I received thoughtful and informative responses to my previous message about
women cooperating in a small co-housing group (3-4 retiring women), and want
to say thank you to those who responded, and to the list organizer who made
it possible, as well as to the many posters from whom I have learned much.

Almost as soon as I posted, I received an inquiry from someone seeking to
sell their co-housing spot to someone.  This seems to be a very important
issue that we must address as we put together our plan - can anyone comment
on their experiences in selling or buying into an existing co-housing
situation?  Are there any contract considerations, such as requirements of
length of residency in terms of vesting in the "HOA fund"?  Is there an
internet market for such transactions?  I've so far been unable to find any
venues aside from the websites of individual organizations.
