Harbourside Atlantis Resale - value and need closing company (by Tracey S.):

The range is also dependent on the float season you own. It's confusing because they use to call the weeks platinum (winter 1-17 and 50-52), gold (summer 18-34 and 47-49), and silver ( fall 35-46). They upgraded the names to platinum plus, platinum, and gold but kept all the same point values. Traditionally platinum would be the most valuable time period but because of the weather and kid friendly nature of the resort- summer resales and reservations are the hardest to get and the most valuable other than week 51 and 52. Summer weeks have some value but the transfer cost is around $2000 so even summer 1 br units don't have a lot of resale value. Winter float would be slightly worse. Unfortunately the fall weeks have $0 resale value and you may even have to pay all or part of the transfer cost plus in some cases all or part of the following year mf to find someone to take the week. Rentals during this period often go for less than the cost of mf. To give yourself the best shot you will want to reserve the best possible week in your float season. No one wants to have to pay $1600 for the following year mf and not even get a good week because they are all taken. Harborside is not an effective trader in the SVN network because of the low star options given compared to mf.
