Use RedWeek\u2019s \u201cWhat\u2019s My Timeshare Worth\u201d Tool<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re planning to sell or rent your timeshare, knowing what it\u2019s worth is essential. And we\u2019ve got a tool for that. RedWeek\u2019s \u201cWhat\u2019s My Timeshare Worth Tool<\/a>\u201d is easy to use and will show you rental and resale prices for units at your resort. Just enter your resort name and you\u2019ll get the dollars and cents info you\u2019re looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this tool might seem more like something to use for resale, it\u2019s great for owners who want to book and post a rental, too. The tool lets you check out historical and active rental prices for any resort, so that you can see the most popular (and expensive) times for each resort over time. It\u2019s a great way to decide the best times to choose your dates. Get more details on how to use the <\/em>What\u2019s My Timeshare Worth Tool<\/em><\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exchanging vs. Renting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As an owner, you may have discovered the timeshare exchange program, which allows you to trade your timeshare for another one either in the U.S., or internationally. It\u2019s a great option, giving you a wide array of resorts and destinations to choose from. But you also might want to consider renting rather than exchanging. That way, you can find a great deal on RedWeek.com, and then rent out your own week, instead of using an exchange company and ending up with a resort you don\u2019t like. RedWeek has already done the heavy lifting for you when it comes to finding deals \u2014 browse our Bargain Timeshare Rental page<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Be Aware of New Policies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Resort companies are always changing the rules, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Owners should always be on the lookout for anything that is presented as a benefit when it\u2019s actually imposing new limits on their ownership rights. For example, Wyndham Club recently expanded its Guest Certificate Policy<\/a> to include most weekends and holidays through 2022 in many popular resorts. Now, regardless of ownership tiers, owners can\u2019t apply for more than two guest certificates for any of these blackout dates. The idea is that owners will have maximum availability during certain high-traffic time periods; but it also means that owners won\u2019t be able to take advantage of those high-traffic time periods through rentals. Stay tuned for more details from RedWeek on how to deal with this new policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
