Not sure from your post whether you are looking at renting a timeshare week or buying a resale timeshare week on RedWeek. Owners of timeshares pay their own mandatory annual maintenance fees; people who rent from owners do not pay the owner's maintenence fees. If you are buying (not just renting) a week, then payment of the current year maintenance fees and / or the next available use can sometimes be negotiated between buyer and seller.
You reference "make an offer" language, which suggests that perhaps you are looking at buying (not just renting) a timeshare. "Make an offer" means exactly that --- you can submit an offer for a resale listing offering a lower figure than the listed price. Owner may choose not to entertain any offers with numbers lower than their advertised price (which is their prerogative), but there is certainly no harm in trying to negotiate a mutually acceptable figure. Good luck.
