Royal Sands Resale Purchase

[azdave]

Hi Friends. Would like some opinions on whether this price is the going rate. Beachfront unit during week 15 or 16 for $6,000. This is the full 2 bedroom lockoff. Thanks in advance for the replies.

Suggest you check out the history of sales on eBay.

Of course, everything is negotiable

I would think that is a little high. If it were more of a spring break week it would probably be good, but I think it is about 3-5 weeks late.

Per the II demand chart, demand drops after week 14 and again at week 17, so 15,16 are in between. I can't comment on the $6k figure, but what works for a lot of people is own the week and the unit that you want. The MFs at $1,000+ per week play a bigger roll than the upfront resale price. We own there and love it, others would love to be able to dump theirs.

I that an every year price? Royals were ( and possibly still are) selling every other year. Just make sure you know what you are buying.

No sales history for ocean front units.

I don't plan on trading. We will use the week each year. Was just curious about the price. I know how much the developer purchase would cost so 6k seems like a good price. Thanks for info.

No sales history for ocean front units.

But reviewing the scores of eBay sales, although not beachfront, didn't help provide a rough idea of what these are selling for?

Yes its a annual contract

I was able to find one ocean front that sold on ebay for 5200 week 45.

Week 45 has a lower demand index than your 15/16. Nine steps lower on a scale of 20. Also to note week 40 is when it is closed for maintenance all week. That is the off season. Also what floor the units are on make a difference in their value.

Thanks for the info. I singed the contract for week 15. I think its a good deal. Unit is on the 6th floor

Super ! Happy vacationing. We go pretty soon ourselves, but down to the Haciendas this year.

We picked out the 6th floor ourselves from all of them (we bought from the developer). Not ocean front though, phase II. Great spot.

Our Unit is I5625. Seems like a super central spot.

Technically then I think you are closest to the palapa bar. Attached our view of it.

"I" building is excellent

We have I5326 and I think the I building is the best oceanfront location at the Royal Sands. Right out your door go west towards the front of the resort to the elevator that comes out right at the market. If you go up in that elevator, it is glass and looks out at the lagoon. Out your front door you can see phase 2 pool area or go the other way and see phase 1 pool area. You will love it.

Congratulations. We own F5617 weeks 14 and 15, so we will see you in April.

I think that 6K is a reasonable amount if that is the week that you want.
