Fractional Real Estate Explained What is Co- or Shared Ownership?

Co-ownership, or fractional real estate, is a modern and flexible alternative to traditional vacation homeownership. By sharing ownership of a luxury property, you can enjoy all the benefits of a second home without the full responsibilities and costs associated with sole ownership.

Understanding Fractional Ownership

Fractional real estate, also known as shared ownership or co-ownership, divides the ownership of a property into smaller, more affordable portions. In this arrangement, multiple buyers own a percentage of the property—typically 1/8th, 1/4th, or 1/6th—depending on the structure. This shared ownership allows you to access luxury properties at a significantly lower upfront cost and reduces maintenance fees and the time commitment of sole ownership.

How Is Fractional Ownership Different from Timeshare?

Unlike timeshare, where you only purchase the right to use a property for a limited period each year, fractional ownership provides you with actual deeded ownership of the property. As a fractional owner, you hold a stake in the property itself, which may appreciate over time unlike timeshare, which doesn’t offer this potential.

Fractional ownership also offers a higher degree of flexibility and personalization. With fractional ownership at Timbers Kaua‘i, you can use the property for your guaranteed time, but with the flexibility of additional space available and short-notice stays based on availability, which is not possible in traditional timeshare offerings. Experience what it’s truly like to own a second home on one of the world’s most beautiful islands.
