Book Your Timeshare Week Early for Maximum Value

When you purchase a timeshare from the resort developer, they do a great job of explaining the amenities and features of your unit. What they don’t teach you is how best to use your timeshare. Don’t worry; your friends at Paradise Timeshare Resale are here to help you! You may call one of our timeshare experts toll free at 1-800-996-2001 for the answer to any question on how to best use your timeshare.

When it comes to getting the most value for your timeshare week, the first step is simple: Follow the rules for your resort and you will be a happy timeshare owner. The most important way to get maximum value for your timeshare investment is to book your week early! If you snooze, you lose. Know the very first day you are eligible to reserve for the next year. Mark your calendar and do whatever it takes to remind yourself. Reserve the week in your season that has the highest demand or select a week that you know for sure you will use. If your plans change, you can always bank the week.

Even if your intention is to exchange your timeshare week, it pays to book early. Reserving the highest demand week in your season will also increase the trading value. Both RCI and II recommend that you deposit your resort week as early as possible, up to one year before it starts or two years if your resort participates in the Early Deposit program. An early deposit improves your chances of a favorable match.

Buying Tips To Maximize Your Exchange Value

Here are some tips on how to buy a timeshare that will maximize your exchange value. First, buy in a high demand resort area. Location, location, location! The old real estate adage is also true in the timeshare market. Lake Tahoe and Hawaii are always in high demand because of their one-of-a-kind locations.

Our next tip is to buy prime season. This way, you can reserve any time of the year at most resorts or for your exchange. A swing season timeshare will cost less but it has a low trading value and is difficult to resell at many resorts. Five-star and Gold Crown resorts are an exception. Lake Tahoe is a unique market because it has two prime seasons: winter and summer.

Finally, buy the largest unit you can afford. For example, a two-bedroom lock-off unit gives you the option of doubling your time with two great weeks of vacation. A larger unit will also give you more flexibility to exchange.
