If you’re looking to get out of your timeshare, you might be considering putting your timeshare for sale on the resale market. Many owners hope to recover some of their initial investment by finding a buyer. However, selling a timeshare is far more difficult than most realize. Before you invest time and money into resale attempts, it’s important to understand the challenges of selling a timeshare and why a professional exit strategy might be the better solution.
The Harsh Reality of Selling a Timeshare
Unlike traditional real estate, timeshares depreciate in value the moment they are purchased. The resale market is oversaturated, making it nearly impossible to sell a timeshare for anything close to its original price. Here’s why listing your timeshare for sale may not work:
- Low Market Demand: Most buyers are not actively looking for timeshares, making it difficult to find a legitimate buyer.
- Drastic Price Drops: Many timeshares listed for resale sell for as little as $1 just to transfer ownership and escape maintenance fees.
- Scam Risks: Many fraudulent companies prey on desperate sellers, charging upfront fees without ever delivering results.
- Ongoing Financial Obligations: While waiting to sell, you’re still responsible for rising maintenance fees and special assessments.
How to List a Timeshare for Sale (If You Still Want to Try)
If you’re determined to try the resale market before seeking a permanent exit, here are some options:
- List on Reputable Websites – Platforms like RedWeek, Timeshare Users Group (TUG), and eBay allow you to post your timeshare for sale. Be prepared to price it far below what you originally paid.
- Contact Your Resort – Some developers offer resale programs, but they often favor new sales over reselling existing contracts.
- Work With a Licensed Timeshare Resale Broker – A legitimate broker can help market your timeshare, but commissions and fees can be costly.
However, many timeshare owners find that their listings sit for months or even years without any serious buyers—all while maintenance fees continue to accumulate.
