Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: House for sale at Roberts Creek Cohousing

[Joanie Connors (jvcphd]

According to an online money converter, $485K Canadian = $456,298.60 US.

But then, there's another assumption to consider, which is that
possibly the Canadian housing market is not so stressed now like the
US market is. Perhaps there is more faith in their economy...?
