I'm not surprised about Sheraton Vistana - they recently had a huge special assessment announced.

 

[x3 skier]

If you really want to spend a lot more time, you could list by percentage of units/shares. Might give a different picture, e.g. 10% of resort A vs 50% of resort B even though resort A has more units listed for sale.

In any event, I encourage you to keep the lists current.

Cheers

Very Interesting

What I find most revealing is that the US West (meaning, primarily, California) and Florida are at the top of the list for TS for Sale. No coincidence that Florida and California rank #1 and #2 in the country for bank foreclosures on subprime mortgages. I wonder how many timeshares were purchased in the first half of this decade from home equity loans on those homes purchased with subprime loans.

Thanks for your research!

 

[tinkerbell2]

This is great info and the idea of keeping it updated would interest many, I am sure, me to start with !

 

[TUGBrian]

one item to note is that when we release v 2.0 of the TUG member only section....you will be able to view the classified ad history of every resort right on the resort review page.

itll show the info of the for sale or for rent ad, the price..and if it sold or not!

I wonder how many timeshares were purchased in the first half of this decade from home equity loans on those homes purchased with subprime loans.

Thanks for your research!

Doesn't it just correlate to which states have the most timeshare units in the system?

If someone takes a subprime loan, how do they get home equity? Don't they by definition put very little money down and therefore have almost no home equity? I guess it would be possible for subprime loans taken in 2000-2003 for some of those homes to increase in value and then those owners take the equity out by re-financing or getting a home equity loan.

What could also have happened is that timeshare purchasers simply took home equity loans and financed their purchases with HELOCs early in the decade. Not necessarily sub prime, but spent equity that really wasn't there. That could very well be.

How do these figures correlate to TUG Membership?

Yes, I know, I need to join sometime. Maybe after I get through this "heck"acious weekend that follows a previous one that followed not having power for four days........................................

BTW, I'm not asking for sympathy, these things happen to everyone.

I am interested in BocaBum's suggestion and how the figures correlate to TUG Membership.

 

[buceo]

From my experience the Royals rent very well. For us the weeks we don't use I rent out instead of exchanging or depositing. In other words the Royals have cash value. This year we're going to Belize instead and so I did some searching and it looked better for us to rent out all our weeks and pay cash in Belize. I think another interesting number would be number of weeks deposited per year for a resort as compared to the number listed to rent.

not quite sure what you mean Bwolf?

These are just the stats from the marketplace as of the end of the year, the only link they would have to TUG membership, is that every ad posted in the marketplace is done so by a TUG member.

Sorry about that.

Is there a way to tell if the TUG member is from a certain part of the country and the timeshare located elsewhere?

That is somewhat different from BocaBum's suggestion that the figures correlate to which states have the most timeshare units in the system.

Also, it seems not too many members of TUG own at Pollard Brook, Sanibel Beach Club I, or Cape Winds. So, I think the figures are likely to represent the membership of TUG, which may be overloaded with owners at Royal Sands, Royal Caribbean, etc. while other resorts are underrepresented.

 

[TUGBrian]

ahha...ok that makes sense.

and while im sure there is a way to correlate the two, the amount of time and effort required to massage all that data would be tremendous.

Also its important to note that less than half of the registered TUGBBS users, are paying TUG members.

conversely, there are a good number of TUG members who dont participate on the forums. So its not unreasonable to assume that we have a very wide selection fo owners from all resorts listed in the marketplace.

only a fraction of a % of tug members are considered brokers. and less than 5% of the ads posted, are posted by brokers. This leaves the vast majority of the ads that are posted, are posted by the owners of said resorts.

[buceo]

Whew! Thanks. That's what I was hoping that the top ts's with rental listings are also tops with successful rentals. Thanks for posting.

 

[MuranoJo]

Brian,
Just curious, how do you know if it was rented from an ad on TUG? I removed mine after it rented (from another website), but I didn't see any place to specify where it was rented when I removed it from the listings.
Thx.

 

[TUGBrian]

they are just completed ads, just like any other site there is no way to tell if the rental was obtained through the site or not.
