ILX Resorts Inc., a developer and operator of timeshares in the Western part of the US, has released their corporate financial report showing a net loss for the third quarter. Currently ILX timeshares include locations in Arizona, Indiana, Colorado, and San Carlos, Mexico. The company also owns land in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), Mexico and Sedona, Arizona, which are in the final planning stages for timeshare development. ILX has acquired, and continues to acquire, inventory at the Carriage House in Las Vegas and at the Scottsdale Camelback Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona through Premiere Vacation Club.

According to the ILX Resorts report, “Third quarter results include the write off of consumer notes receivable in excess of 90 days delinquent and the increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of performing notes receivable and performing notes sold with recourse to reflect a reduction in expectations of collectability of delinquent and performing loans based on recent economic, financial and credit conditions … Revenue from operations exclusive of the increased allowance and write off for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $10.4 million as compared to $12.1 million for the comparable period in 2007.”

It’s Still a Good Time to Sell Timeshare

This is just one more timeshare developer story in a downturn economy. Surprisingly, some of today’s worst economic news may be the fact that the price of consumer goods have dropped. Decline in the core index (goods other than fuel and food) signals a deflationary economy. While a downturn in the price of goods seems, on the surface, to be positive, deflation can actually make matters worse, because it counters the impact of Federal cuts of the interest rate and it can make debts harder to pay off.

While it sounds drastic to say, cutting out your timeshare vacation could be hazardous to your health. According to an article that appeared on Womens-Finance.com one study shows that, “… women who vacation at least twice a year have 50 percent less chance of dying of heart disease compared with those who don’t take vacations. Likewise, men who take more-frequent vacations reduce their risk of dying of heart disease by almost 30 percent.”

The article goes on to quote Dr. Mel Borins, (author of Go Away: Just for the Health of It), an authority on the medical benefits of vacationing, a proponent of the health advantages of timesharing, and a timeshare owner himself. Dr. Borins says, “To ensure I use my vacation time, I became a timeshare owner and joined RCI’s timeshare exchange program to help create a structure for vacationing in my life. It ensures that I take at least one seven-day vacation every year.”

Dr. Borins points out that because timeshares represent a pre-paid vacation, we are more likely to take them rather than work through our vacation time. He calls timeshare vacations a ‘no surprises’ solution to vacationing, meaning that with very little preplanning, you can enjoy a relaxing and luxurious timeshare vacation, knowing before you go that the resort will meet your standards for safety and on-site amenities. Lastly, Dr. Borins points out that timeshare units essentially represent a home away from home, allowing you the features you are accustomed to, including the opportunity to prepare your own meals, avoiding restaurant foods that may not be well suited to your health and dietary needs.

These days, when everyone is cutting corners, perhaps cutting out your vacation time, is not the healthiest choice. Instead, look at the values available to you in timeshare resales and timeshare rentals so that you enjoy the health benefits of a vacation, without breaking the bank in the process.
