More Resale Tips Do not necessarily expect to receive the same amount that you originally paid for your timeshare, particularly if you have owned for less than five years and the interest is not in a well-known resort location.
Many factors influence the resale price including season, location, unit size and age.
A timeshare should be considered a vacation, rather than a traditional real estate investment, although it is most often legally a purchase of real estate. If so, ask for the statistics on past resales. Check with other owners at your resort. Those who own the weeks before or after you may wish to purchase more time. If you find one, expect commissions to be in the 10 to 25 percent range.
