Four Reasons to Buy Resale Timeshares

Reason One: You Save Thousands

The average price of a 2-bedroom timeshare when bought from the developer is about $18,000. From Holiday Group, it’s about $4,000. If you’ve been through a timeshare pitch, you know that the “rent vs. own” pitch holds some water . . . if you reach “break-even” within a few years. Compare that point using an $18,000 timeshare vs. a $4,000 timeshare.

Reason Two: You Aren’t Bribed

My #1 pet peeve about the timeshare industry. If the product is so good (and it can be), why do the developers continually bribe consumers? If anyone else or any other industry did this, they’d suffer the same horrid consequences–an average 10% closing rate.

Reason Three: There Are No Fake Prices

When you buy resale, the price listed is the price you pay. There’s no insulting “For you, we can drop the price by $_____” shtick, or stupid “The price is only good today” line. The price is clearly listed. The guy next to you didn’t just pay $2,000 less.

Reason Four: It’s A Timeshare Store

I don’t buy the whole “timeshare is not a sought-after product” line that everyone keeps repeating. The truth is the traditional timeshare developers go out of their way to make it as difficult as possible to buy this product. Just go ahead and call a timeshare to get a price. They won’t give you one. Call any store or any service provider or any Realtor and you’ll get a price. Go to the Holiday “store” and take a look. It’s all there for you to see and make smart choices.
