The words home buying and affordable rarely appear in the same sentence anymore.
For many, the idea of owning a vacation home, let alone a first home, feels out of reach.
But savvy buyers are finding a smarter, more accessible path to real estate ownership, even at the luxury level: co-ownership.

Instead of footing the bill for a $1 million property alone, co-ownership allows you to split the cost with a small group of like-minded buyers.
For example, with 10 owners, your share could cost just $100,000.
When you use a professionally managed platform like Fraxioned, you enjoy all the benefits of homeownership without the burden of maintenance, scheduling, or upkeep.
Once you see what's possible, and how seamless the experience can be, you may wonder why you didn't consider it sooner. Here are seven reasons co-ownership is becoming the smart buyer's choice in 2025.
Luxury homes at a fraction of the cost
With co-ownership, you're not settling for a modest property, you're gaining access to high-end, fully furnished vacation homes in sought-after locations.
Even better, you're not paying the full luxury price tag. Depending on how many shares you purchase, you can enjoy six or more weeks of use each year, all while building real equity in the property.
Fractional ownership is a smart way to enjoy the luxury lifestyle without tying up millions in a home you only use part of the time. In today's market, it's a no-brainer.
Fully managed, worry-free experience
The last thing anyone wants is more stress, especially when it comes to a vacation home. But the reality is that second homes require year-round upkeep, even when you're miles away.
From landscaping and repairs to cleaning and utilities, the to-do list can quickly become overwhelming.

A full-service property management company like Fraxioned handles all the maintenance and logistics for you. All you have to do is show up, kick back, and enjoy your time away — which is exactly how a vacation should be.
Smarter use of time and money
Most second homes sit vacant for the majority of the year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
That means owners are still paying for taxes, insurance, and maintenance without actually using the property.
Co-ownership eliminates that waste by matching ownership to real usage. Instead of funding an entire year of expenses for just a few weeks of vacation, each co-owner pays only for the time they actually use.
It's a more practical, sustainable way to own — both financially and environmentally.
True equity — not a timeshare
One common misconception is that co-ownership is like a timeshare. It's not. With Fraxioned, buyers purchase a percentage of a property-specific LLC, which holds the deed to the home.
This means that they can benefit from appreciation. When the value of the property rises, so does the value of your share.
And when you're ready to sell, Fraxioned's experienced real estate agents can find the perfect buyer for your share.
Built-in flexibility with legal protections
When you co-own a home with others, it's important to have a clear plan from the start.
A good co-ownership agreement spells out who's responsible for what, how time at the home is shared, and what happens if someone wants to sell their share. As Terri Williams of Forbes points out, having clear rules upfront helps avoid problems later.
Fraxioned makes this easy by handling all the legal details and providing built-in scheduling tools. Everyone knows their rights and gets a fair share of usage — so you get flexibility without the stress.
An easy way out — if you want it
Timeshares can be tough to get out of. Esther Trattner of Yahoo Finance reports that 85% of timeshare owners eventually want to exit — and often struggle to do so.

Co-ownership with Fraxioned is different. Because you own real property, you can resell your share at market value whenever you're ready.
Fraxioned even has its own resale marketplace, making it easy to connect with new buyers. As demand for co-ownership grows and property values rise, that built-in flexibility is a major advantage.
A lifestyle upgrade
Beyond the financial benefits, co-ownership is about unlocking the lifestyle you've always wanted, on your own terms.
Whether it's a mountain retreat in Park City, a waterfront home on Bear Lake, or a desert oasis near St. George, Fraxioned offers access to curated luxury homes in Utah's most beautiful locations.
You're not just buying property. You're investing in your quality of life with stunning scenery, unforgettable memories, and less stress.
