Home Exchange And Second Homes
This is intended as a follow up to yesterday’s post in which we discussed the benefits of home exchange over a vacation rental.
Many ExchangeHomes.com members list a second homes as their home exchange property and this immediately offers a whole new realm of travel possibilities, especially if anyone involved has irresolvable qualms about opening up the family home to people perceived as “strangers”.
Using the concept of Home Exchange, your second home will quite literally unlock doors to similar vacation homes all around the world for you and your family and for a minimal annual fee, you will gain access to other vacation (second) homes. Unlike exchanging your primary residence, using your second home makes the exchange program a lot more flexible, meaning that instead of two parties exchanging homes at a specific time, owners can take a vacation when it is most convenient for them.
Many “second homes” are actually vacation rental homes owned as income properties by home exchange members. With a little forward planning, all they need to do is treat any planned home exchanges as reserved times.
Of course, exchanging second homes is not the same as exchanging and living in a true family home, but the flexibility it offers has much to recommend it, and I know several members who seek them out as their primary choices. We actually categorize all second homes under the heading Special Features when a listing is viewed, and members and visitors seeking exchanges can search specifically for second homes under our Detailed Search.
