San Jose residents Robert and Maureen Bindi, who own a one-eighth fraction of a 5,800-square-foot Northstar-at-Tahoe property, were able to spend last week in a two-level penthouse a block from Union Square in San Francisco.

2009-01-16T02:00:08Z <p>Fractional ownership is the fastest growing segment of the luxury vacation home industry. Purchasing a deeded share of a vacation home is, quite simply, the most sensible way to own a second home while foregoing the maintenance responsibilities and intense capital requirements of whole ownership. Luxury shared residences are especially desirable now as the attractive price points (oftentimes less than a typical down payment) make for an easy decision in a weaker real estate market. Conversely, in a booming real estate market, shared ownership emerges as a premium choice by reducing the trepidation of buying at a market's &quot;peak&quot;. The secret to successful second home ownership, regardless of the real estate climate, is fractional ownership.</p> <p>Resort Equities, a boutique, shared ownership organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area, is one of the leaders in this emerging market. With a portfolio of properties in sought-after destinations such as Maui, San Francisco, Tuscany and Lake Tahoe, Resort Equities embodies the finest of fractional offerings. The highlights of which include exclusive properties, meticulous maintenance and high-touch service. Each reservation is booked by an Owners Liaison; each experience is managed by a proficient, local team; each vacation is a memorable, effortless retreat.</p> <p>Recent press points to shared ownership as an emerging and ideal second home ownership choice:<br /> Shared, or fractional, ownership is &quot;the biggest news in real estate&quot; according to Conde Nast Traveler. &quot;It's not hard to see the appeal of this new generation of second homes. When you consider that the average vacation home buyer uses the property just three to four weeks a year, well, a fractional begins to seem not only practical but downright preferable.&quot; The Wall Street Journal agrees that it is &quot;the sensible way to own and enjoy luxury assets&quot;.</p> <p>According to the San Francisco Chronicle &quot;&hellip; fractional ownership is often an alternative to a second home, but it also can be an addition to a second home. You see people who have a pied-a-terre in San Francisco, a cabin in Tahoe; they're looking for ways to supplement their vacation travel. Fractional presents an alternative. Rather than own a whole unit, make smarter use of your money: buy a fraction.&quot;</p> <p>And, the New York Times illustrates, &quot;Many buyers purchase fractionals not as an investment but as a vacation alternative &hellip; Such properties appeal to buyers who want exclusive getaways but who may be unwilling or unable to purchase a second home they will use for only a few weeks a year&hellip;The younger generation of buyers is viewing it as an alternative to full ownership because of the ease. You're not paying for when the property is vacant, it's become a convenient way to own a second home without all of the problems.&quot;</p> <p>To learn more about Resort Equities and their unique properties and shared ownership programs, visit: <a href="../../../">www.resortequities.com</a></p> 2009-01-13T21:48:44Z 2008-06-01 Insiders Secret to Successful Second Home Ownership 5 Hemispheres Magazine
