How important is our annual Top 25 Timeshare Resort Report?  According to our research, more than 50% of the total resale market dollar volume takes place at the Top 25 resorts!

Of the more than 1,400 resorts reporting sales in the Sharket database, only seven earned a perfect 10 Saleability Score™ and six are Disney Vacation Club resorts. The other resort with a perfect 10 on the 2016 list is Marriott’s Grande Vista resort.

“Disney Vacation Club timeshares continue to enjoy a high number of sales and high median prices compared to almost any other resort,” says Bob Schmidt, Sharket’s Chief Data Officer. “Disney resorts are not actually the priciest timeshares – in the Top 25 that honor again goes to Starwood’s Westin Ka’anapali in Hawaii – but the Disney resorts have a much higher number of resales. Disney’s Saratoga Springs for example chalks up an incredible 1,021 resales on an annualized basis, more resales per year than any other resort, and the number of Saratoga Springs’ resale transactions represents an increase of 20 percent compared to the data for last year’s ranking,” Schmidt says.

Resales Are Higher and So Are Prices

“The number of resales is higher at every one of the Top 25 resorts,” Schmidt says. “Many resorts saw resale price gains as well. In fact, 15 of the Top 25 saw typical prices increase compared to last year,” Schmidt adds.

Some highlights regarding the Top 25 list include:

Only One Independent Resort in the Top 25

The only timeshare resort on Sharket’s Top 25 that is not affiliated with a major brand is St. James Place resort located in Beaver Creek, Colorado with a ranking of 21.

Resale Volume is Up Compared to the 2015 Ranking

The Top 25 resorts comprise a total of 5,656 average annual resale transactions and $75 million in average annual resale volume compared to 4,762 resales and $58 million in volume in the 2015 rankings.

“The Top 25 represent 21 percent of all timeshare resales based on transactions and a whopping 55 percent of the total dollar amount of a resale transactions tracked by Sharket. Comparable figures based on 2015’s list are 16 percent and 49 percent, respectively,” Schmidt adds.
