Saratoga Springs again leads Sharket resale rankings
Sharket tracks timeshare ownership transfers and calculates a proprietary 'Saleability Score' based upon factors which include demand for the property and average selling price. Resorts are assigned a score of 0-10 with a 10 suggesting that owners looking to sell their timeshare interest can anticipate that it will "sell quickly and for a higher than average price."
After compiling data over a 2-year period ending December 2015, Sharket assigned perfect 10 ratings to seven timeshares, with six of those seven being Disney Vacation Club properties. Among the properties receiving a Saleability Score of 10 are:
- Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
- Disney’s Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas
- Disney’s Old Key West Resort
- Disney’s Boardwalk Villas
- Disney’s Beach Club Villas
- Marriott's Grande Vista
Other DVC resorts fell short of earning a perfect score but still placed highly in the Sharket rankings. The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge (8th highest rank overall) Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa (9th) and Disney's Vero Beach Resort (13th) all received Saleability Scores of 9.
The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa (22nd) and Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa (23rd) scored an 8 out of 10 for their saleability.
Grand Californian resales were singled out for making significant gains compared to the prior year's rankings wile Grand Floridian and Aulani resales showed a decline in price.
