Many of these companies are building 2 and 3 bedroom units and the prices are sky high! I just went to the Marriott presentation to see the 2 and 3 bedroom units. I posted the pricing on the conversions and new units on the Marriott discussion group. These companies are going to run out of people at some point to buy the larger units! I know from buying my Westin Villa on the open market that it would be difficult for me to buy another week at the Westin today! I also did a tour of the Westin North Villa and didn't even get to the look at a 2 or 3 bedroom. Pricing was way to high for my budget! You have to watch out for the sales people. I look at these phone call I get as a free vacation or airline ticket! :)
I know what you mean. I've been seeing timeshares selling in the 50-60K range lately. I cannot imagine in my wildest dreams paying that much for one week of timeshare. I can't imagine what the people are thinking that actually pay that much for one week of timeshare. The highest amount we ever paid for a timeshare was 11K (only developer one we bought and it was in a very sought after location in a very popular gold crown resort) and I thought that was ridiculously high.
