You've worked hard for your money. You're at the age and stage when you are ready to enjoy it. And you're looking for that perfect second home to use as either a regular vacation getaway, or a residence for part of the year. What you don’t want is to spend your time mowing lawns or performing any myriad of tasks that go along with home ownership. At the same time, you know you want more than the convenience a traditional time-share has to offer. You want to be able to stay longer at your preferred getaway location – and you want some equity with your investment.
Fractional ownership has revolutionized the recreation real estate market. More akin to a second home than to a time-share, fractional ownership at Northstar Mountain Village grants buyers deeded title to their property every fourth week. This allows investors to build equity in the growing recreational real estate market rather than simply buying vacation time.
Many leading names in the resort and time-share business are now developing fractionals, including Disney, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Hilton, Intrawest, and Marriot, just to name a few.
The fractional market is a young industry, yet fractional ownership has been successful for a long period of time. Friends and family have long pooled their resources to share vacation accommodations. However, the fractional industry has added many features to the modern value of fractionals. Hot tubs, exercise facilities, professional landscaping and housekeeping have been instituted to give the buyer a turn-key vacation destination.
In addition to conscientious consumers, business owners also make up a large portion of the fractional market.
This is due to the fact that fractionals are usable and shareable real estate holdings. Client incentives and employee benefits can be offered without the usual associated costs. Moreover, these programs can be offered while the business is growing its real estate assets.
In a recent survey Ragatz Associates determined that the most successful fractionals are located exclusively
in prime locations. The majority of these are found at ski resorts with area amenities that offer four seasons
of enjoyment.
In an effort to deliver the highest quality of product Northstar Mountain Village has been created in the
image of past successful fractional projects as found in Colorado, Utah, and California. Fractional ownership
at Northstar Mountain Village offers an ideal opportunity for entry into the recreational real estate market.
Three months a year should provide more than adequate vacation time for you and your family while preventing your money from being tied up in an empty property. If 13 weeks a year isn’t enough simply purchase as many fractions as you like.
