It is true that resale is a near impossible proposition for a large majority of timeshare owners.

A large portion of the ones on the market though are not on the desired resale hot lists. <br><br>A timeshare from the big names resells very well...example Marriott, Hilton, Disney, Hyatt, etc...<br>A timeshare in a hard to get place sells well....example Manhattan Club, most Hawaii locations, premier beaches...<br><br>Maintenance fees are zero profit for the developer. They are controlled by the resort (not the developer) and the home owners association (the owners). The developer sets the maintenance fee when they first create the property, and after a set portion of inventory is sold they turn it over to the association. They make their money only from the initial sale. The clients who stay on the property are solicited for purchase or upgrades, and that is how they make additional money. Once a property is sold, the developer walks away from the actual property to build sell another. There is tremendous wealth in the sale of timeshares, they don't need a residual. <br><br>Also, when a developer sells the property, they receive construction loans to build and sell the resort. They are charged for inventory like car dealers are charged with cars on the lot.

I have owned for 9 years and have paid $3600 so far over that time in maint. Your number is assuming a $1950 per year average, presumable taking inflation into account. I know I will never pay that over 40 years, and I am quite sure that the majority of owners never will as well. Though you might want to take the law of every ten years into account. Start back 40 years ago and look at the price of a car $2400, motel $8, Home $7900, etc...and double it every ten years. You will see how it is exactly what we would expect to pay for that product that decade. So if the maint fee's did go up, it will be relative to the current cost of everything....
