These numbers are down in comparison to April 2008 sales by about 58%.

Vail, CO is a high-worth destination market that will never be fully affected by the economic hardships that metropolitan areas are currently facing. There will always be word-class properties and high spenders to utilize them. Vail Ski Vacations.com would like to extend to each and every one of our clients beneficial information about an easy and affordable investment option called fractional ownership.

Fractional ownership is the newer, easier, and smarter version of owning a timeshare. Vail Ski Vacations.com—soon to be Rocky Mountain Vacation Rentals.com—is a third party vacation rental company with a real estate division that specializes in fractional ownership. Owning a fraction of a whole property is an affordable way to invest without a super, over-the-top second mortgage. It allows you to enjoy your residence without the headache of keeping up with the property’s utility management. Fractional ownership is a smart investment—specifically in a short-term vacation rental market like Vail— because you will continually collect payments from the lodging provider who’s supplying your property to consumers within the rental market. Because fractional properties are typically luxury rentals, you will collect a certain amount of rental income on a yearly basis.

Fractional ownership is different from timeshares in many ways. Firstly, the value of your property can appreciate. Secondly, the property is a deeded interest, so you can will it down to family members, versus only being able to have it for 30 years (with no included property restoration). The hotel, condo association, or property management company that rents out the fraction of your ownership keep up with the property in the most prestigious fashion so down the road, those fractional properties will continue to sell and resell.

What you will typically find in timeshares is that property management companies don’t put any money into the restoration of the property so at the end of a long period the timeshare property essentially depreciates in value, thus losing its market of renters.

Fractional ownership is a smarter investment for all of our clients because the price point is much more affordable, while still allowing for growth potential in the investment area. Vail is the number one ski resort in North America, and resort towns like Vail are never going to go out of business. The ski lifts are always going to run. Winter enthusiasts will always make time and effort to ski Vail and other Colorado ski resorts. And real estate companies and rental providers will always see a return on their investments.

April’s real estate numbers indicate monetary exchange and growth within the real estate market, especially those properties averaging between $500,000 and $1,000,000 (33%). These percentages denote the perfect time to invest in a Fractional and/or Private Residence club, as it is best for buyers to purchase these residences during the earlier phases, before prices increase as the project reaches sell out.
