In the world of luxury vacation homes, the traditional timeshare model is facing competition from a new and innovative concept: co-ownership. As vacationers seek more personalized and financially rewarding options, Ember co-ownership is changing the game with its refreshing approach.
Timeshares are finding their way to the backburner of vacation home options as co-ownership becomes an appealing new way to vacation. Here are a few reasons why timeshares are not for everyone, and why Ember is a good choice for anyone looking for a vacation residence.
Limited approach to ownership
Perhaps the biggest flaw in timeshares is the lack of true ownership. While timeshare owners have access to a range of properties, they do not have the tangible ownership rights that come with owning a property outright.
This might be a fine choice for those who just want access to vacation property, but it does not come with the benefits of true property ownership.
Lack of equity
Timeshares don't have that same model set up. In fact, they're a lot like renting. You pay to stay in a place for a week or two a year, and when you're ready to exit your timeshare, you leave with nothing. Your monthly dues didn't contribute to any equity in the homes you stayed in.
Scheduling hassles
Scheduling vacations through timeshares can be a cumbersome process, often involving coordination with numerous other owners. This can lead to frustration and limited availability during peak times.
Feeling like a rental or hotel
Traditional timeshares often lack the personal touch of a true home. They can feel sterile and impersonal, resembling more of a hotel experience than a comfortable getaway. The furnishings are often generic and inexpensive, making you feel like a guest in your own vacation residence.
Ember co-ownership: A modern solution to vacation home ownership
Unlike traditional timeshares, Ember vacation homes offer you value and ease from the moment you find the right place.
True ownership
Ember flips the script by offering true ownership. Co-owners actually have a share in the property, providing them with the same ownership rights as any other real estate asset. Once you close, you have 100% ownership of your share of the property.
Equity and appreciation
A major advantage of Ember's co-ownership model is the ability to sell the property and gain equity and appreciation. Ember co-owners enjoy the opportunity to create memories in an unforgettable home and take advantage of any market appreciation.
Effortless scheduling
Ember's mobile app streamlines the scheduling process, making it easy and convenient. Co-owners can coordinate with as few as one other family and as many as seven other families, ensuring a smooth and flexible vacation experience.
Ownership in a home that feels like home
Ember takes pride in offering co-owners a specific, professionally designed home. This creates a sense of ownership, allowing families to establish traditions and memories in a place that genuinely feels like home.
Not only does it feel like home, but it will feel like your home the moment you step inside. Ember takes care of cleanings in between owners' stays, making it feel like home from day one.
Ember ensures that the properties remain in impeccable condition year-round.
