We timeshared years ago, but gave our units away when we moved to the TN Smoky Mtns, for several reasons. We are now 55 and looking to begin again, so we will have some units thru retirement. We are open to weeks and/or points. Looking to buy several weeks/points over the next few years.
1) Where do you want your home resort to be? We travel to either Destin, FL, Emerald Isle, NC, or Charleston, SC every year, one of those would be preferable, and if points, would even be fine with every other year for home resort. Other units would be primarily traded and would be preferable annually.
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time? Yes, at least half the time.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations? Coastal CA/OR, Disney area, CO mountains, DC area, NYC area
4) How many people do you usually travel with? There would be 2-3 of us
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?Anytime
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance? Most of the time
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time? Yes
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars? 3-5
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing? $2000 per unit/week, would go up to $3000 per unit for exceptional purchase
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year? Can afford more, but prefer to stay at $600ish as a high per unit, or average of all
11) Are you a detail oriented planner? Absolutely
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do? Yes
Thank you in advance for any input. I really appreciate it!
