Thank you, Fred, for posting the notice about Prairie Hill in today’s cohousing listserv. I notice it says we have 2 units for sale which is true, but the 800 SF one is NOT for sale, but instead a 964 SF unit is for sale at $369k. The 1290 SF one at $410k is correctly shown. Once we get details about both available units (with photos), we’ll post again. It’s up to each owner to be providing that information so we’ll be waiting on them. Also, thank you for the very useful email you sent me yesterday about posting on the listserv. Stay in touch!
