I recently posted and quoted an article/study which described that while timeshare occupancy was up in certain areas for the 1st half of the year overall visitation was down. The basic gist of the article was that timeshare owners and their guests/renters were still able to vacation in these uncertain economic times and that buying resale timeshare at big time savings versus new, resort-direct pricing may be a wise move to ensure continued vacationing for many families.

In another recent article featured at Bloomberg.com the discussion was about new, timeshare sales dropping at a record pace as Americans tighten their budgets and how this affected the timeshare industry.

Little mention was made of the timeshare resale market and how people could save thousands when compared to what timeshare resorts charge when buying resort-direct, paying through the nose at developer prices and that perhaps sellers could take advantage of this resort sales decline. Savings abound on the resale market for the exact same product that's being sold by the timeshare resort/developer in most every case and if buyers are pursuing the savings the timeshare resale market offers then sellers have the necessary demand to find resale success. I think this point was missed in it's entirety and should be mentioned.

TimeShare Adventures was even mentioned for a few available prices, but without citing us as being a resale market hot-spot for bringing timeshare resale market buyers, renters and sellers together and with out this being a mutually beneficial boon for buyers and sellers!
