Buy a Hilton Timeshare at a Lower Cost
According to ARDA’s state of industry research, the average timeshare cost of a timeshare was $23,940 in 2022. While that may seem like a steep price, you are paying for a lifetime of vacations upfront. Although you can save a substantial about of money when you buy a timeshare on the resale market. For example, we have 7,580 points for sale at Hgv Club Seaworld International Center for $3,500, and 13,920 points for sale at Hgv Club At Kings’ Land for $7,000.
