Reasons for Timeshare Maintenance Fee Increases

Bay Tree i was wondering why my maintance fee went from $450 to $735 in one year? If you could help me understand this i would appreciate it.

Thank You,

Hi Mary,

There are a number of possible explanations for the increase in your timeshare's maintenance fees: inflation, renovations, the cost of insurance, higher property taxes.

No one likes to pay more, but your maintenance fees are still in line with a typical timeshare - providing the figure you gave us includes property taxes.

The best advice we can give any timeshare owner who's concerned about maintenance fees is to get involved with the Home Owners Association (HOA) at your resort. By attending meetings, casting your proxy ballots, and staying in touch with other owners, you can work to keep the costs down. In resorts with a proactive HOA, maintenance fees tend to stay low.

If the new fees are outside your budget, you may want to sell your timeshare. If so, use the contact form, and we'll do a quick market analysis of your timeshare resale value - free of charge. Thanks.
