There are some factors to consider whether a specific timeshare property is suited for what you need, not just what you like.  First off, you have to decide where you want to vacation.  And then ask yourself again if you want to go to the same place every year at the same time of year or you like to go vacation during different seasons of the year.  Look for good buys in timeshare properties by checking out the points programs or timeshare programs that have lots of properties and let you use all of them.  You should also consider price ranges to buy timeshare.  The timeshare that is going to be a good buy for you is one that fits your travel criteria and sells for the right price.Another criterion for a good buy timeshares is if you start planning your vacation well in advance of your travel dates.  Most timeshares today are offered as floating weeks or ownership is based upon points and as an owner you will have a priority booking window for your reservation, but then at some point that priority is opened up to all of other timeshare owners as well.  So if you tend to be a spur of the moment vacationer, timeshares are probably not going to be a good buy for you at any price.
