Is there a monetary incentive to joining a cohousing group ?


No


You shouldn't think of buying a home as a financial investment.

And you shouldn't think of buying a home in cohousing as a financial investment.


Same way sneakers , labubus , and individual stocks have been bought and sold for a profit from time to time but you shouldn't buy them for the purpose of making money


You can end up saving money by staying put in the same house for long periods of time ( close to 20 years ) but timing the market to sell a single home for profit shouldn't be a goal. You can save a bit more money through shared resources and neighborly care that tends to happen living in cohousing but timing the market to sell shouldn't be a reason to join.


you should buy a home because you want a place to live and you should buy a home in cohousing because you want custom housing with a community of intentional people.


That's all for now
