Timeshare Resale Vacation Buying Trends:  A 2003-2007 Study

About the Study

This study uses timeshare resale vacation sales data for a five-year period from 2003 through the end of 2007.  The intent here is to provide a trend analysis of timeshare resales to consumers, timeshare sellers, industry personnel and other interested parties.  In this Study, the resale data are based on those individual sellers that utilized Stroman Realty, Inc., a timeshare resale broker. A timeshare resale is a sale by an individual owner to another consumer. It does not include sales by resorts.

About the Author

As of this writing the authors know of no such work product study, or any similar type of document that uses actual timeshare resale data. The few prior references to resales in other studies were extremely limited. Further, sample sizes were small as to not be statistically significant.

Resort Inventory International, Rii®, is a division of Stroman Realty, Inc. Now celebrating its 29th anniversary, Rii® has conducted this internal timeshare vacations study using thousands of in-house timeshare resale transactions.

Stroman Realty has sold timeshare properties located in 25 countries with buyers and sellers in 94 countries in over 1331 different timeshare resorts. We also sell timeshares by marketing on the Internet to those interested in timeshare vacations as a form of second home ownership. The internet has significantly enhanced marketing efforts nationally and worldwide.

A significant portion of our marketing is domestic direct mail to buyers and sellers who are residents of the United States. We believe study results were influenced by this fact.
