Unit rental

Nov 24, 2013

I listed my unit for rent on RedWeek. I just wanted to see how it looks on here. I am not able to find it. So, naturally I was wondering how others look for rental property if they are interested in renting.

Hi, This is Raja; I have also posted one of my Unit for rent on Redwwek.com Can you give me TIPS how to rent my unit faster? and how is your experience with Redweek for their rental services? What about the Ad we post on Redweek....does this need any special words or tuning & renatl demand for the Colonies Williamsburg. Wait for your response.

Best regards.....Raja

Personally I think you are priced way too high. Although week 51 and week 52 have a bump over fall and Jan-March weeks, there is a lot of inventory in Williamsburg and it only really fills up in the summer. Williamsburg is a bit cold to go for the whole week at this time, so many of the visitors are drive to visitors who may stay only for part of the week. In fact Interval list week 51 and 52 in Williamsburg as slightly below average on their travel demand index so it is more equivalent to an April through early June week. Week 51 and 52 are great weeks for ski resorts, warm weather resorts and places like Orlando that might not be the warmest but it is not really cold and Disney and Universal have a lot more pool than Christmas town at the more northern theme parks.

Also my personal experience is that Redweek works better for high end properties or hotel branded resorts like Hyatt, Marriott, Starwood, Hilton, and Wyndham. Craigslist which is free but does have the potential for more scammer replies probably has way more foot traffic then someone clicking on a lesser known resort in an area with more than a dozen properties to choose from.

Since you already paid to advertise you can let me know if your experience is different than mine.

When I posted my timeshares for sale I included photos of the resort and inside of the units. It depends on the supply and demand of the resort and your time owned there as to how well it will rent ... going by the calendar below it looks like you own in high and prime time, but as the previous posted stated there's a lot timeshare inventory in that area and it's so close to your rental timeframe that you may need to drop your price.

Seasons: Timeshare Calendar in Williamsburg VA Quiet = Weeks 1-8 Value = Weeks 9-11 High = Weeks 12-22, 35-50, 52 Prime = Weeks 23-34, 51
