Right of first refusal is a method boards can use instead of setting floor prices. It is generally used by Condos and is included in their bylaws. For a Co-op board to acquire this power it must be voted on by a majority of its shareholders, as an amendment to its documents. If you are so sure that an apartment is worth more than it is selling for the board can buy it and sell it for a higher price, that is assuming they will get a higher price. In other words put your money where your mouth is. What I am interested in, is hearing from Board members that have instituted floor pricing and finding out if it worked for their Co-ops. Did the value of their shares stay at a desired level, go up, or are apartments languishing on the market looking for buyers as I have read in many articles? Thanks.
