What You Need To Know About Buying Timeshare


 
Travel & Tourism
People within the US do not take enough time to relax. Their parents' advice to "take time to stop and smell the coffee" usually ends at a hurried stop at Starbucks on their way to the office for yet another day of stress in corporate America. This is one of many reasons that buying a timeshare can look like a very attractive opportunity at a reasonable price, where the couple usually will make promises to take 2-3 vacations per year so that they can actually enjoy their timeshare purchase.

But purchasing a timeshare is not nearly the same as purchasing a house or even a condo. Some things are very similar but there are distinct differences that you need to be aware of, and you need to make sure that you have all the necessary details in front of you before you make any kind of go/nogo decision.

For example, when someone purchases a timeshare, as opposed to buying a house, they are NOT buying the structure and the property it sits on. Owning the timeshare means that the person have the ability to use the timeshare for a defined and very specific period of time each year. They do NOT have access to it at their leisure or whim 52 weeks a year, because OTHER people "own" the timeshare during those other weeks. That is basically where the name "timeshare" comes from, because you only own a SHARE of the unit.

That should not turn you off, that is the way all timeshares work but it is different than buying a house and you need to understand that huge difference. When buying a timeshare unit, you need to know that the owner has the responsibility to pay their share of the unit. If you are buying from a contractor or developer, they can usually provide some attractive financing options, but if you are buying from the previous owner, the normal expectation is that you will pay in cash.

It is also important for you to know that as part owner of the timeshare, you are expected to pay your share of the associated expenses, which would typically include the property taxes, the maintenance fees, and perhaps utilities as well such as water, electricity, sewer, trash pickup, and maybe even DSL or cable. Even if you currently live locally or within easy driving distance of the timeshare unit, you are likely to need to also pay your share of the management fees, which is assessed for the company that looks after the property on a day to day basis.

Although this might all sound negative, the right timeshare in the right location can be a great deal. It can provide you with a guaranteed place to take a vacation every year. If you purchase through a timeshare agency, there is also the possibility that you could swap your assigned week at this timeshare for a week at a different timeshare somewhere else in the world. This is in fact what most timeshare owners do, allowing them to experience different parts of the country and the world.
