What Is A Timeshare?
Time Share Rentals

A timeshare is a form of vacation property ownership. With timeshares, the use and costs of running the resort are shared among the owners. While the majority[citation needed] of timeshares are condominiums or cooperatives at vacation destinations, developers have applied the timeshare model to: houseboats, yachts, campgrounds, motor homes, cruises and private jets.

The notion of a timeshare was originally created in Europe in the 1960s. A ski resort developer in the French Alps innovatively marketed his resort by encouraging guests to "stop renting a room" and instead "buy the hotel". The developer was successful in increasing occupancy and the idea spread worldwide. While a useful tool for many, the timeshare industry has also become a magnet for attracting illegal and barely legal methods for the sale and resale of property.

Whether you're a current vacation property owner who is looking to sell your timeshare, or a potential buyer looking to obtain a vacation home of your own, there are a few things about the timeshare resale industry that you should know to help you make the best decisions in your respective buying and selling endeavors.

Years go by and the timeshare sits unused while maintenance fees must still be paid. If this sounds like you, consider selling your timeshare resale.

It's a Buyer's Market

With the ever-increasing prices on the temporary lodging market (like motels and hotels) we're currently in the midst of a significant period of growth in the timeshare buyer's market. Travelers are looking for a long-term solution to their accommodation needs. They're sick of throwing their money away at temporary accommodation and they know that timeshares can afford them with convenient and cost-effective lodging. Therefore, if you've priced your property appropriately, you shouldn't have any difficulty selling timeshare to prospective buyers.
