Hi, new here. Glad I found this place though!! Also stumbled onto Kal's Information Center (http://www.bywindkal.com/HVC.htm), another great resource.
Wife and I fell in love with Maui on our "honeymoon" and promised each other to go back as often as possible with the kids, so I dived in and bought.
Since this TS is so new, there is no resale market as of yet. Possibly in a few years I suspect. I paid $43K for a 1 BR / 1 BA direct ocean view, $1680 annual MF, fixed week, diamond season (just wanted to throw everything out there, sorry if TMI). Also got a week at any RC resort free (some limitations) and 75K of Hyatt Gold points.
From reviewing the Marketplace, I think I can rent something similar for ~$2500. Not much savings there I guess. My intent is to at least go back every other year, possibly every year if I can find cheap flights from LAX to OGG for a family of four. My kids are still very young, so I would think they're willing to go with us till around high school age or older which isn't for another 10 years or so.
I don't see much fixed week TS on Maui Kaanapali Beach so I can't evaluate true value of something similar. Anyone with any leads on how I can compare what I paid now and what value it may be in a few years when some of these units hit the resale market?
OR should I just RESCIND and save my money??
TIA
