Starwood Timeshares Still Strong on the Resale Market March 28, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, General, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel , add a commentExperts predict a dreary year to come for Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. This is a bad bit of news for a successful lodging company that has witnessed strong international growth despite troubles in the U.S economy and stunted consumer spending.
The timeshare resale market place is helping, with steady sales of Starwood and Sheraton properties adding value to vacation properties that would otherwise sit unused and neglected. As unemployment piles up, Starwood has felt the crunch as travel sales have declined steadily over 2008 and 2009. Depreciating their stock to a small amount of dollars
With top-shelf accommodations, properties like Sheraton’s Vistana Resort in Orlando, Florida and Sheraton’s Broadway Plantation in Myrtle Beach for example, are becoming increasingly popular on the resale market, offering world class luxury to even the most humble of budgets.
Experts predict that since 43 percent of Starwood’s rooms and 37 percent of the revenue lay outside North America, international growth may be where Starwood focuses its efforts next. When today’s the recession began with the evaporation of the credit market and asset backed securities began to lose their value. Starwood halted new timeshare developments and cut staff and sales offices as quickly as possible.
Worsening market conditions may continue to hinder the hotelier, but BuyATimeshare.com is seeing consistent Starwood and Sheraton timeshares being sold on the resale market.

Timeshare Resales and Rentals Under Scrutiny in Florida March 18, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Customer Comments, General, News & Events, RCI , 1 comment so farA new legislation in Florida would not only protect the comfort of timeshare owners, but the resort developers too. Though the legislation would mandate a bed tax on all timeshares rented out as a hotel room, it would exempt many other transactions from taxes.
Promotional night-stay packages and rentals made through an exchange company like RCI or Interval International are just some of the various exceptions covered under the bill. It has already seen overwhelming victory in two Florida House Committees and one in the Senate so far.
“It is important to our industry to have that in law. It provides comfort to our owners,†explains Jason Gamel, the vice president of state government affairs for the American Resort Development Association. Alongside individual timeshare companies, ARDA is backing this bill with great zeal.
Florida State Rep. Steve Precourt is sponsoring the legislation in the Florida House to protect the state by not discouraging tourism with unnecessary taxes placed on the consumer. “With the importance of keeping tourism flowing into our state, we do not want our owners to pay any more tax.â€
The legislation would ensure that timeshare units rented trough exchange companies are not subject to bed taxes, as long as the guest is not paying any money to that unit’s owner. It would also ensure that taxes are not collected on the annual membership fees, which ARDA representatives say are approximately $100 a year.
Marriott Ads to the Resale Market March 13, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Marriott Timeshares, News & Events, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized , add a commentMarriott International Inc. sold $205million in timeshare loans earlier this month. Who know how much the sum of those notes was, or what company bought them? This gain has fueled the opening of another Marriott resort in the timeshare sector once again. An endeavor like this is a good illustration of the strength and resilience of timeshares and the promise the concept has for the future.
Opening the first phase of Crystal Shores on Marco Island off the southwest coast of Florida, this will be Marriott’s first property to reach the Gulf of Mexico. With 71, 2 and 3 bedroom suites that can accommodate up to 10 guests, the plan is to build up to 219 units. All suites will be greater than 1,100 square feet, with 2 pools and of course the bar attached.
At BuyATimeshare.com we sell more Marriott than any other brand. The hotelier has seen adversity over the past fiscal year, with stock trading from $11.88 to $37.89. Their properties are still selling worldwide, with the resale market becoming the household means of securing an inexpensive vacation property from anywhere across 6 continents.
