What would be better for you: a new timeshare or a resale timeshare?

In order to decide, you have to compare the two.

Calculate the costs of the long-run expenditures on a new timeshare compared to your expenditures on your annual vacations. Divide the total expenditures by the years you plan to own your timeshare.

If the total is equal or less than the amount you would pay for vacations, then a new timeshare would be advantageous for you. If the total is greater, then you should consider other vacation options—like a resale timeshare.

Resale units are typically cheaper than new units and allow you to own the timeshare for a predetermined amount of time (depending on your arrangement).

You can isolate the two options to dimes and dollars, but in the end, the costs are still unpredictable.

Just research before you make your decisions and stay true to your budget.
