Last Minute Offers: Extra Circulation When Home Exchange Dates are Close

Although it is always best to start looking for possible home exchanges well in advance of the time you want to swap homes, there are always a few Home Base Holidays members whose dates are getting close without an exchange agreed. Members can boost their exchange offers (but only after at least a week of their join dates) by adding their listings to the additional Last Minute Offers list. This is, of course, not a substitute for making an effort to browse listings regularly and contact other members with an exchange offer without delay, but it is an additional method of publicising an offer when getting anxious to arrange an exchange for a specific period.

Here are just a few Last Minute Offers listings for members looking for exchanges late spring/summer this year at the time of writing (note: listings automatically come off this list at the end of a month to ensure only those genuinely still looking for exchanges in the near future are included):
