How to Sell My Timeshare

What is My Timeshare Worth? – a Simple Way to Figure It Out

If you're trying to figure out what your timeshare is worth, then pull up a chair and listen closely.  Figuring out what your timeshare is worth is not very difficult when you know what you are doing.  In fact, there are even proven ways that you can cut corners and save time.  But first, let's talk about the initial steps you can take if you want to do this the hard way.

The first thing that most smart timeshare owners do is to take a look at the resale market in their area.  Listing services are a great place to look for this information.  What are you looking for exactly?  You're looking for timeshares that are comparable to your own so that you can get an idea of how much your timeshare might sell for.  Yes.  Doing this is common sense for a lot of timeshare owners, but I figured that I would cover this just in case.

The second thing you can do is a bit of a what I call a down to earth knowledge-check.  Read upon timeshare reselling and you'll find a cold, but very real truth of selling your timeshare.  What is it?  Well... I'm not sure if you realize this, but your timeshare is not going to sell for as much as you paid for it.

If you don't believe me, then take a look at ebay and you will see a lot of desperate timeshare owners trying to ditch their timeshares for as little as $1.00.  That's right, I didn't misplace a decimal there - one dollar!

Don't let this cold hard fact make you lose hope until you figure out the actual value of your timeshare.  Jump over to a resource site (I recommend using www.timesharesecrets.com) and figure out the value of your timeshare.  Ask a lot of questions, get a grasp for value, and then try to sell.

Whatever you do, don't go into this without completing this essential first step.
