Buying a Timeshare in Virginia Beach
How does buying a Virginia Beach timeshare resale work?

Are Virginia Beach timeshares deeded or points-based?
Most Virginia Beach timeshares are deeded ownerships that grant you usage of a specific week each year. Some Hilton and Vacatia-managed resorts also offer points-based systems that provide more flexible travel dates.
What is the average cost of a Virginia Beach timeshare resale?
Prices vary by resort, unit size, and season, but most resales range between $500 and $12,000. Oceanfront summer weeks are the most valuable, while off-season weeks offer budget-friendly options.
Are there closing costs when buying a timeshare resale?
Yes. Typical closing costs range from $400 to $600 and cover title transfer, recording fees, and escrow processing. All costs are clearly disclosed before purchase.
Do I have to attend a timeshare presentation to buy a resale?
No. Resales are purchased directly through verified owners or licensed resellers like Virginia Beach Timeshare, Inc., so there are no presentations or developer tours required.
