The Shackles of Timeshare Ownership – Avoid Buying One

Before the worldwide credit and housing crisis, timeshare sales were boasting robust growth. In 2007, timeshare sales totaled a whopping $10.6 billion, with close to 5 million households in the US alone owning one or more timeshare units (or equivalents). Even as sales of timeshares boomed, so did the number of timeshare owners trying to resell their units. These owners have by and large expressed interest in helping others avoid their mistakes and share the hard lessons they have learned. Five of the top arguments against buying a timeshare are listed below.


Selling Timeshare Options Are Gone – What’s Left?

Given the current situation with regards to the global economy, selling a timeshare is no easy task. If you are a timeshare owner looking for timeshare relief, you are certainly not alone. Admittedly, under more favorable conditions one may have more viable options but in the current climate, these options have been drastically reduced. Therefore, if you are serious, your best bet is to go for a solution which has the highest chance of success.


The Illusion of a Timeshares – What Are They REALLY?

When you financially strip down timeshares, they certainly are not as attractive or as sexy at first blush. If you take away all the trappings like the exotic locales, the seemingly low cost per vacation and the over-friendly salespeople, you potentially take on a growing financial burden that may last your entire life. Even if you are considering a resale timeshare for a low upfront fee, be sure to figure out how much it may cost you in the future.
