Timeshare Sales By Owner?

Timeshare sales by owner on the resale market are the best value for the money of any timeshare purchase – simply because of the cost savings passed on to the consumer from the existing owner.

You see, the way timeshare sales are conducted through the resorts are what sets up resales as such a bargain. When a timeshare is sold as a “new” sale through the resort, it has sales commissions and marketing costs baked into the sale price, all of which is absorbed by the buyer at the resort. On the resale market, that doesn’t exist.

Such commissions and marketing costs can be 50 percent or more of the overall price of a timeshare at the resort. Resale timeshare sales, on the other hand, take place directly between an owner and the purchaser, so there are no sales commissions or marketing costs included in the price. That’s money directly back into the pocket of the buyer, since the resale timeshare is bought at such a reduced rate.

How This Affects Sellers

It’s important that sellers understand this principle as well when selling a timeshare. Much like a new car that loses value once it is driven off the lot, a timeshare loses value after the initial purchase because of all the overhead costs that are part of the initial sales price. However, that doesn’t mean sellers can’t still get a good price for a timeshare.
