The statistics released show that Texas makes just 3.01 monthly Google searches per 100,000 residents for terms related to selling or moving on from a timeshare. This suggests the state’s residents are the most satisfied with their timeshare purchases.
Louisiana follows closely in second place with 3.02 similar searches per 100,000 residents, showing virtually identical satisfaction levels to Texas. Oklahoma rounds out the top three with 3.14 Google searches per 100,000 people.

An expert at SellMyTimeshareNow.com commented on the findings:
“The southern states consistently show fewer searches for options to sell or move on from a timeshare ownership, which suggests residents there are more content with their purchases. This may be due to benefits such as having a guaranteed vacation spot each year, perfect for those who enjoy routine, and the feeling of community that comes from revisiting the same resorts and destinations.
“For those considering a timeshare purchase, it’s worth looking at how current owners in your state feel about their ownership. Buyers in some states will ask more questions about usage patterns, maintenance fees, and resale options before committing, so it’s important to be able to alleviate their concerns.”
