for owning a principal residence? - ANSWERAmenities are the primary factors leading to the

improved climate for a few weeks of the year; the possibility of retirement to this better climate is
also a factor.
Discuss the use of timesharing in the marketing of vacation homes. - ANSWER7. Time-sharing

appreciation in the value of their ownership interest.
