What to trade? 

In trading your timeshare, you should remember all of the information you learned in question #1: What to buy?  As long as you have purchased in those conditions, what to trade will be an easy proposition.  Start with the end in mind.  

If you want to go to Atlantis in the Bahamas and you also want a week in Central Florida, then remember to compare.  If you own a very high demand 5 star red week and you also own a different medium demand 4 star yellow week, then you trade the red week property for Atlantis and trade the other week for Orlando.  This will give you the highest value for what you are trading.

Trade your best for the best you want, trade your lesser weeks for the lesser weeks you want.  Ideally you have purchased all of your weeks in a 5 star, red week, very high demand property.  That way, you don’t have to worry about how low you’ll have to settle for.

There are a limited number of resorts that can trade for excess of a one-to-one trade.  For instance if you have a week that thousands want and you want two weeks where thousands of extra weeks may be available, the trading organization may just give you a two-for-one trade.  After all, this allows them to keep more customers happy.

Most importantly, remember that for well over 90% of timeshare owners trading is a very key factor.  When you buy your timeshare look to see how it will trade first.  There have been owners that have purchased 4 star 1 bedroom timeshares out of season in an area where very few people want to go to, and then later find out they could have had a 5 star 2 bedroom in a high demand area for less money.
