The laws that govern timeshares are specific to the state where the property is located. The sales staff may tell you that a timeshare is a solid financial asset, but the value of a timeshare is in its use as a vacation destination, not as an investment.

Depending on the language in your contract, there are usually three routes to go to get rid of your timeshare. The first is to try to sell your timeshare to somebody else, although this is almost guaranteed to be a financial loss if you bought your timeshare new. The second is to try and negotiate with the timeshare company to break the contract. but this may come with costs and fees. Finally, if your contract has a "cooling-off" or rescission period and you are still in it, you can often return your contract without penalty. You may need to hire a lawyer specialized in timeshares to go over your contract terms. If all else fails, you can try to gift your timeshare to a friend or family member who is willing to pick up the ongoing maintenance costs."}},"@type": "Question","name": "How Do You Sell a Timeshare?","acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer","text": "If you own a timeshare and want to sell it, there are now several websites that you can use to list yours.

A timeshare is a shared ownership model of vacation real estate in which multiple purchasers own allotments of usage, typically in one-week increments, in the same property. The timeshare model can be applied to many different types of properties, such as vacation resorts, condominiums, apartments, and campgrounds.

According to ARDA, over 205,000 timeshare units were sold in the United States in 2020. The industry generated $4.9 billion of sales from its 1,570 U.S. resorts with 7 million total nights rented during the year.

Timeshares will have values that depend on several factors such as size and amenities, location, and how easy it is to swap or exchange your location for others. Your timeshare's value is then determined by comparing the offered prices of similar timeshares being advertised for sale and rent on various online platforms.

Buying a "second-hand" timeshare will typically be the most cost-effective route. Be sure to pay attention to ongoing fees and costs such as maintenance and change fees in addition to the purchase price.

If you simply stop paying your timeshare fees and charges, they can report this delinquency to credit agencies and you can see a ding to your credit score. If you can no longer afford the timeshare, you should sell it or renegotiate your contract with the timeshare company in order to preserve your credit.
