Homeownership has always been pitched as a solo act. You buy a single-family home or a condo, you carry the whole price, and you do it alone. We built reSpace to offer another way. Co-homeownership turns a single home in a premier Seattle neighborhood into a small community of individual owners, so people can own for about what they pay to rent a one-bedroom.
Let us walk you through what co-homeownership actually is, and how we make it work for you.
What is co-homeownership?
Co-homeownership is a new way to own a home. Instead of buying an entire house, several buyers each own an individual suite inside one shared property.
Each owner holds a membership interest in a single-purpose LLC, tied to exclusive-use rights to a private suite. That is your space: a bedroom suite or attached unit that belongs to you. The beautiful parts everyone shares, the common-area kitchen, the living rooms, the outdoor spaces, are designed for the whole household.
It is not just a place to live. It is a lifestyle that pairs private ownership with real community.
Co-homeownership with reSpace: a smarter way to own
We design and manage every property for this model, so privacy and shared living are balanced from the start. Here is what sets it apart.
Your own space
Each owner holds a membership interest in a single-purpose LLC, tied to exclusive-use rights to a private suite. You hold full ownership rights, including the ability to sell or transfer your portion independently.
Shared amenities
The common areas do the heavy lifting on lifestyle: generous kitchens, modern living rooms, and beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces, all part of the home you share.
Premium locations
Our properties sit in the Seattle neighborhoods people actually want to live in. Co-homeownership opens the door to markets where buying a whole house on your own may not be within reach.
An attainable way in
By sharing the cost of the property and its expenses, co-homeownership makes premier living reachable without trading away quality or privacy.
How is this different from traditional ownership?
Traditional homeownership tends to be solitary. You own a single-family home or a condo, and you shoulder every cost and responsibility yourself. Co-homeownership shifts that.
Individual ownership
This is not a co-signed mortgage. Each buyer owns their private suite, with their own membership interest in the LLC.
Community-oriented living
Shared common areas create connection and lower individual expenses at the same time.
Freedom to sell
Each owner can sell their portion independently, so the home adapts as your life changes. It is a more collaborative way to own, with privacy and connection in the same place.
How do buyers finance a reSpace suite?
Financing a suite looks a lot like a traditional home purchase, with a few differences.
Mortgage or cash
Buyers can pay cash or secure a mortgage for their individual suite.
Emerging lending support
Some lenders are beginning to recognize co-homeownership as a viable path, though policies vary. We work to connect buyers with lenders who understand the model.
Cost sharing
Shared property expenses, such as maintenance and utilities, make the cost of living more manageable. We encourage buyers to explore several financing options and work with lenders familiar with the co-homeownership structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly do I own with reSpace co-homeownership?
You own a membership interest in a single-purpose LLC that holds the home, tied to exclusive-use rights to your own private suite. That suite is yours alone. The common areas, like the kitchen, living rooms, and outdoor spaces, are shared by the household. You hold full ownership rights, including the freedom to sell or transfer your portion independently.
How much does co-homeownership cost compared to renting in Seattle?
reSpace is built so you can own a private suite in a premier Seattle neighborhood for roughly what you would pay to rent a one-bedroom in the same area. You share the cost of the property and ongoing expenses like maintenance and utilities with the other owners, which keeps premier living reachable without trading away quality or privacy.
Who is co-homeownership a good fit for?
It fits buyers who keep getting priced out of competitive Seattle markets but still want to own in a neighborhood they love. It suits people who value privacy in their own suite while enjoying connection and shared common areas. If owning a whole house on your own feels out of reach, co-homeownership offers a practical, attainable path into premier locations.
Can I finance a reSpace suite with a mortgage?
Yes. Financing a suite looks a lot like a traditional home purchase. Buyers can pay cash or secure a mortgage for their individual suite. Some lenders are beginning to recognize co-homeownership as a viable path, though policies vary. We work to connect buyers with lenders who understand the structure so the process is as smooth as possible.
How is this different from a co-signed mortgage or joint title?
It is not a co-signed mortgage. Each buyer owns their private suite through their own membership interest in the LLC, so you are not jointly liable for someone else's loan. Your portion is yours to keep, sell, or transfer independently. The model balances individual ownership with community-oriented living from the very first design choice.
