Buying, Renting, and Selling Timeshares

I have listed.....now what?

Jan 19, 2013

I got my week listed. I am not sure if I asked to much for the week, as there was not much to compare to. I listed the week of 4th of July in Orlando, so I think it is a good week and should rent. If I did list it to high, how do I know it is time to lower the price? On average, how long does it take to rent? Should I also list elsewhere, if so, where?

Thanks, Beth

It's usually a good idea to list it on several reputable sites. Besides RedWeek, there's Timeshare Users Group (tug2.net; $15), My Resort Network ($25), Craigslist (free but be prepared for a lot of spam and scam attempts), and VRBO.

Have you checked those sites to see if any owners are listing a similar week for rent and for how much?

It's time to lower the price after you get zero replies to your ad, however since it's a July 4th week I'd wait closer to summer to lower it. Most people don't plan vacations in Jan that they're going to take in July. Remember that Orlando has the most timeshare resorts (per capita) that any other area in the entire world along with hundreds of other types of accommodations (ie: homes, hotels/motels, apartments etc), so you'll have plenty of competition. Whatever you do be reasonable in your asking price.
