If I decide to buy a timeshare, should I buy “new” from the developer or “used” as a resale?

All factors being equal, a resale from a previous owner or a resale company, will probably cost considerably less than buying direct from the developer. Deep discounts of 50% and more are not uncommon. There are instances where buying from a developer may be your only choice. Lack of a unit with the amenities, location or “extra” added programs like the Marriott point program might be a consideration to buy from a developer. Again, research your decision BEFORE you buy to secure the best deal for you. Where should you begin this research? I think you know the answer. Think “Timeshare Locators”!

Buy a Timeshare you will use!

Most people who own Vacation properties agree that the best timeshares to own are timeshares that you are going to use. While the exchange programs such as RCI and Interval International , and all the independent ones, are great, buying a timeshare to exchange isn’t always the most cost effective way of using timeshares to vacation.
So the best bet is to buy a timeshare that you will want to visit. Related to that tip is the idea that you should buy a timeshare that’s within a day’s drive of your own home. I think you should plan on an eight hour drive at most. Even that is a long day for most people, but with breaks at is quite manageable and safe.

The reason other owners recommend that the best timeshare to own is within an eight hour drive is so that you still have a way to take a vacation even if airfares go up.

Also, you are just more likely to use a timeshare close to home and it is a great way to force yourself to take a vacation every year if you are the Type A kinda personality that things all work and no play is an okay way to live. It isn’t! Everyone needs a break and some time for themselves and their family and timeshares offer a great way to provide that for yourself. While timeshares are not a financial investment, they are an investment in your leisure time and I think its worth it, especially when you can pick up a great deal on the resale market!

Reasons for Buying a Timeshare Haven’t Changed

Some things have changed in the world … others, not so much.

Take the way most people shop and plan their lives, for instance. We have generally become very comfortable buying goods and services online.

Thick, yellow phone books are nearly a thing of the past, as most of us access the internet from our computers, our phones, our laptops and our ebook readers, when we need information.

We have pretty much abandoned maps, unless they appear online. Instead, we let our cars, our phones, and our other smart devices tell us how to reach our destinations.

And we certainly have less time for vacationing than ever before, and in many cases, less money. Overall, we are less certain about the future, the economy, or the path we should follow.

But despite all this, some things never change.

Our children still grow up all too quickly. Their minds, their feet, and their personalities grow and change… almost before our eyes.

The number of days we have to spend with those we love always has and always will seem too few. Opportunities to make memories remain priceless, no matter the state of the world’s economy or the condition of our own personal budgets.

Timeshares for Making Lasting Memories
If you have never vacationed in a timeshare, you may be in for a big surprise. Timeshare, or vacation ownership as it is also called, is neither complex nor problematic, even though some naysayers would like you to believe it is.

Timeshares, either purchased as value-priced resales, or enjoyed as rentals, are a simple, affordable way to plan a vacation. In most cases, they are surprisingly flexible. They allow you to plan far in advance or schedule last minute.

You can search for a timeshare resale or a timeshare rental by location, price, size, resort brand, or even just by the types of activities you want to enjoy. You can work with Timeshare Locators and let us handle the details for you when you are ready to buy a timeshare.

The opportunities of timeshare have changed, and continue to change, to better serve your needs and the way you like to run your life. Yet the many ways timeshare helps you vacation better and capture more time with those you love remain reliably constant.
