Re: Maintenance Fees (by KC):
cassandrac12 has stated : >> Everyone is saying that the maintenance fee's are too high. I actually purchased a package recently and the fee's are very reasonable.<< ====================================== There really is NO universal pattern to changes in maintenance fees. In Florida, for one specific example, skyrocketing insurance costs and rising property taxes are getting passed on directly to timeshare users there. So, maintenance fees there are headed nowhere but UP for the foreseeable future. Yet, on the other hand, you can buy a "points" ownerhip in "Birdbath", Texas for "short" money and low maintenance fees (many owners don't want to even see the place --- they are just buying for the annual "points" to then use elsewhere). Low usage, decreased "wear and tear" in such instances translates into lower maintenance fees.
Just pointing out that there is no "one size fits all" all-inclusive statement about maintenance fees. Geography and usage level also play a part.......
