Fractional Share Ownership vs. Timeshare in Haywood County, NC.

Time Share HomeWe enjoy a healthy vacation/second home market here in Haywood County because of the mountains, change of seasons, location, log homes, creeks, lakes and nature in abundance. Outright ownership of vacation and second homes is an option, as are Fractional Shares and Timeshares.

Pat Kitano of Transparent Real Estate just posted an excellent bullet-point list, as explained by Sarah Scafford of International Listings, of the differences between Fractional Share Ownership and Timeshares here.

Beautiful Maggie Valley Log Home, Spectacular Views, REDUCED $101,000.

Quite a log home

The views from this ‘oversized log home’ in Maggie Valley were so beautiful, and truly breath-taking, that I didn’t want to leave when we finished our cookie cutter ‘realtors on caravan’ tour a couple of months ago. Selling my soul to stay up there came to mind. (No, it is not my listing, darn it.)

Talk about views!The price of this home was reduced on June 16th by $101,000 to $899,000 (MLS #413357). The [winter] photos posted for the listing do the home no justice (sorry, but that’s my opinion). This home is in Country Club Cove Estates in Maggie Valley, at 4200′ on a level ridge lot, and guest quarters that sleep 16… or your spouse!

There are more spectacular luxury homes for sale hidden here in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and with the overabundance of inventory here and almost everywhere, price reductions and deals are ripe for the picking. If only I had a trust fund…
