Over and over the news is that timeshare sales continue at a fast pace.  A recent story published at www.inman.com indicated that over $8 billion was spent on timeshares in the US last year.  The slump in the housing market seems to be having only slight effect on the luxury resort - timeshare - market.  Resales prices in some regions are climbing as well.  Hawaii and the Caribbean seem to fare the best according to this timeshare resales study.

Now is the time to buy or sell your timeshare.  Buyers of timeshare can still get a good discount when buying from an owner.  Sellers can still benefit from the growing interest in timeshare properties.  Tom Kelly (inman.com) stated in his article "A growing number of entrepreneurs with an exceptional grasp of timeshare purchasing, closing and selling have begun to acquire inexpensive weeks at upscale resorts via resale channels..."

A timeshare broker with knowledge of the international market would be the best bet for negotiating for the best deal, making sure you are getting what you pay for, and following through the transaction to ensure all rights are transferred. Affordable luxury vacation condos are still a possibility for those who buy resale, not retail.

Using a timeshare resales broker is also a wise choice for those who want to sell timeshare. It just makes sense to use the services of a professional.
