TL;DR — CoBuy-Suitable homes are properties scored and featured under the CoBuy Suitability Score for their fitness for co-ownership. The classification dates to 2018.
CoBuy-Suitable™ homes are properties that have been scored and featured under the CoBuy Suitability Score™ for how well they can host co-ownership. The classification identifies the rare American homes genuinely built for shared ownership: places where two friends, a couple plus one, or two households can each have real privacy and space. CoBuy has classified and featured homes this way since 2018.

What makes a home CoBuy-Suitable
A CoBuy-Suitable home earns a strong grade because its layout resolves into genuinely livable zones, from a private bedroom up to a fully independent, legally rentable unit. Separate entrances, more than one real kitchen, bedrooms with their own baths, and permitted separate units all push a home up the scale. Because only verified capabilities count toward the Score, a home labeled CoBuy-Suitable has had its qualifying features confirmed, not merely advertised.
Why it matters for co-owners
Most homes on the market were designed for a single household and cannot comfortably host co-owners. Identifying the ones that can saves a group from discovering the hard way that a house cannot give everyone privacy. A CoBuy-Suitable classification is shorthand for a property worth a closer look from a co-buying group.
