How to Save Big When Buying Timeshares
Summary
Purchasing a timeshare can be a smart financial move, but it’s crucial to understand your options to save potentially thousands of dollars. Here, we explore three common methods of buying timeshares, each with its own advantages and considerations.
Traditional Timeshare Presentations
Most timeshares are sold through presentations at resorts. These often come with enticing offers of free vacation weekends to attract potential buyers. However, be cautious?"salespeople earn commissions and may pressure you into buying. Keep in mind, the sales commission and other staff costs are built into the price you pay.
Timeshare Resellers
Another popular option is buying through timeshare resellers. These brokers connect property sellers and buyers but come with additional fees. You need to be aware of various charges, such as title fees, state transfer taxes, special resort assessments, and unpaid maintenance fees. Also, confirm when you can actually use the property, as sometimes access is delayed if the current year’s usage is already taken.
Buying Directly from Owners
The most affordable route may be purchasing directly from the owner. Websites like eBay list timeshares for sale by owner, often at a significant discount. For instance, you might find a timeshare selling for $14,000 less than the resort's price. Although this method offers great savings, you’ll still need to account for the same additional fees as with resellers.
Conclusion
No matter which method you choose, it’s essential to research and understand the potential pitfalls. Buying directly from an owner can lead to incredible savings, as illustrated by the example above?"with a potential $14,000 savings, not including interest. Always do your homework to ensure a smart and informed purchase.
