What about the timeshare market?

[verdoux]

This may or may not apply as actual "real estate" per se, but I'm curious how others have seen the timeshare market affected by the housing problems and economic down-turn.

With deeded properties you have a lot of people trying to break free from contracts. A friend (well, a colleague...) of mine is actually trying to capitalize on this and go into the "Timeshare Relief" industry, you know -- the people you hire to get out a contract you can no longer afford. I don't know, though...the resort market seems different to me from the housing market. Most of the people I know with timeshares aren't ready to sell them QUITE yet, they've had them for so long.

Anyway, to put it another way, what IS the timeshare market? Real estate, luxury, etc?
