Many individuals and families who are interested in timeshares just don’t know where to begin. There are thousands of great locations to find timeshares, each with their own pushy and over-the-top sales pitches. There is a way to avoid the pushy salesman AND save a considerable amount of money on your timeshare purchase - secondary markets.

Secondary markets offer a channel for existing timeshare owners to sell properties, often for prices even lower than they paid to begin with. There are several places to browse online for timeshare properties listed by existing owners.

Buyer beware

Of course, this method of buying a timeshare comes with risks associated with purchasing any timeshare property.

  • Be sure you fully understand the terms and conditions of the timeshare purchase
  • Know the type of timeshare you are getting
  • Visit the timeshare location, if possible
  • Understand the ongoing fees associated with the timeshare unit. Previous owners sometimes find hidden expenses to be a driving factor in unloading the timeshare.
  • If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Check unbelievable deals out very closely.
