Should Americans Sell Their Timeshares?

Should Americans Sell Their Timeshares?

By:




As the editor of multiple timeshare based websites, I have gotten quite a few messages asking if selling timeshares is a bright idea. The reasons for desiring the sale of a timeshare can range from financial hardship to not being able to use the timeshare. However, all the messages seem to be asking the same question, Should I sell my timeshare?. The only person that can answer this question is the person that is asking it. With that said, I will go over the facts of selling timeshares and you can decide if selling a timeshare makes sense to you.

The first thing that consumers think about when deciding to sell their timeshares is financial relief. With maintenance fees consistently rising and mortgage payments to make, many consumers are interested in selling their timeshares simply to get rid of the monthly payments it takes to keep the timeshare. But, when Americans sell their timeshares, do they usually realize this relief. Unfortunately, for reasons that will be explained later in this article, this is not usually the case. As a matter of fact, even after selling their timeshares, many Americans find that they still owe a few thousands of dollars for the mortgage on the timeshare.

OK, so do you want to know the reason that consumers don't usually make money when selling timeshares? It's simply the law of supply and demand. When there is an overwhelming supply of a product or service that consumers have little demand for, it becomes extremely hard to sell that product for a desirable price. I know you may be thinking, I was willing to pay this price for this timeshare, why wouldn't someone else?. In all reality however, if you are one of the people asking this question then you most likely purchased your timeshare years ago.

As a matter of fact, over the past couple decades, many timeshare developers have made a name for themselves due to exponential growth. Selling timeshares at an extreme rate, timeshare developers have nothing left to do but grow. However, due to the world wide economic recession that started just a few years ago, this growth has stopped and person demand for timeshares has followed. With that said, if you are looking to sell your timeshare, you have to be willing to take a little bit of a loss.

So, what should consumers do to get rid of the burden associated with a timeshare in time of hardship? Unfortunately, there is no simple one size fits all answer to this question. In most cases however, I would personally suggest timeshare cancellation. Timeshare cancellation is the process of deeding a timeshare back to the developer based on discrepancies in the sales process and contract associated with the timeshare. Although, not everyone will qualify for timeshare cancellation, for those who do qualify, this process provides a great deal of relief!
