Timeshare Price Levels
Are your best friend if you're buying a timeshare.  You see, a timeshare loses between 60 and 90% of its retail value when you someone buys it.  Why?  Those costs are used to cover commissions, legal fees, sales and marketing promotions costs.  They don't add any real value to a timeshare.  Just like a new car depreciates the first minute you drive it off the lot, so too do timeshares depreciate.  And they hopefully don't even go anywhere!

That's why the resale market for timeshares is so good lately.  We've got people contacting us all the time about new units and old, so we know the market is very much alive right now.

What to look for in a timeshare
