Perusing Real Estate in Santa Fe and came across this
« on: May 16, 2014, 08:02:21 PM »
So looking around on Realtor.com as I often do , I spotted this incredibly wonderful small house in Santa Fe very near downtown (desirable location.) $150,000! Whoah! or so I thought.

But as I look at this closer, guess what I'd be buying: a quarter share in the house. I'd own 13 weeks there.

Good god, is this a norm now?

Time shares aren't a new thing. Santa Fe is a tourist destination, so it's not too surprising to see that kind of thing there.

Oh I know that timeshares are old, I just haven't seen them on Realtor.com so you can see how I was sucked in my the cuteness.
