Ultimately, the space lives the same way. But in a condo, you're purchasing the actual space whereas in a co-op, you're buying shares of the corporation.

Cooperatives owners can vote to let others buy in or not. It is a bit exclusive.

A coop is not real property. It is buying shares in a privately held entity. This question has been posed more times than I can think. Lots of good previous answers in AR.

When buying a coop, you receive a proprietary lease and are purchasing a specific number of shares. In the coops I have sold, there is no financing...must be cash and you must get board approval.

A cooperative is personal property, a share of the ownership, and not real estate.

Selling is the same; it's the legal structure of the ownership's that's different.

Only the second one is the sale of Real Estate, the first is a stock certificate and a lease.

As an agent, not so much different. It is a different type of ownership and the buyer needs to understand the ownership position.

Shares in a corporation versus fee simple title in real estate. One is easy to finance and one not so much! One is easier to sell!

Heather Zollinger A coop is owned by a corporation where tenants purchase shares in the corporation. A condo is owned fee simple by the purchaser. Should a coop default every tenant in the building is at risk. Should a condo default only the condo owner is at risk.

There be challenges at resale when the new buyer needs to be approved by the Cooperative, where selling a condo does not allow any input from the residences. I often see higher HOA fees, in part due to many in my area including utilities.
