In many cases, yes, you are able to sell it. However, a word of caution is in order here. Do not expect to make money by selling your timeshare. Although many timeshares are in fact real estate, it should not be thought of as "Donald Trump-type real estate." Just because you purchase a timeshare today for $13,000 (the average in the United States) doesnīt mean you can turn around and sell it in five years for $20,000. In fact, itīs very unlikely. Although you can in many cases sell your timeshare, you should compare your possible ROI (return on investment) to any money that you could make by selling your hotel and motel receipts after 10 years, which is none.
