Hello Very Smart Resale People: my husband and I survived two sales pitches from the developer both at Park Soleil (we stayed at Tuscany/Orlando) - one in 2011 and one in 2012 - whew. We loved it there and love the Hilton brand but $38,000 was a bit too steep
I have read alot here and think I have a good handle on this BUT before we buy resale I have a few questions:
(1) is it hard to find 7000 points EOY? I was thinking that would be the best/affordable way to go but have not seen ANY EOY at 7000 - just a few with 5000 points or less. Why is that? Are they more favorable so not sold often?
(2) Is there a downside to EOY - I am trying to talk myself into 5000 EOY but we would like the better seasons/Hawaii/2 bedrooms. We have two young children and want one vacation a year...thoughts?
(3) Should I have any concerns about a person selling their own timeshare here on this marketplace site? Everything seems legit and the company she would close through also seems legit and fully capable of handling it without a broker.
(4) I have been told that $1.50 is good per point for resale now - it seems as though the timeshares that are 7000 pts and higher sell for that or more (i.e. $10,000+) And those that are 5000 pts or less go for alot less than that (i.e. $1000-3000) - is that just b/c 7000 pts is so much more desirable?
(5) I am looking at 7000 at Seaworld for $9500 with 2013 MF/closing costs/transfer fees all paid by seller with 2013 pts available - it sounds pretty good to me - thoughts? Do you think it will pass ROFR?
(6) Sounds like there has not been alot of ROFR activity lately -does anyone know otherwise?
Any other comments or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks alot.
