Actually, I'm not sure it matters much.Second, BLT point requirements are the highest among onsite DVC resorts. So even if the prices come down, buying at BLT is not going to be a value proposition in the same way that buying at SSR and booking BLT at the 7 month window. My point is, even if you get a bargain on the buy in for BLT points, you're still paying a premium when you go to use them. And if you're going not going to use them to stay at BLT, you might as well buy any other resort.
I'd say that the $79 price is someone who is looking for a quick sale since nothing else listed is even close to it in price. So I would not take that as a downward trend in BLT prices. It certainly could be a good deal for anyone that is looking for a BLT contract, provided it passed ROFR.
With the upcoming price increase and GF coming on board in addition to the underlying benefits and draw of the resort, I think it'll hold pretty steady for a while. Eventually it will fall into the 70's then 60's but I think it'll take 3-4 years before it does as a routine.There appears to be a growing number of BLT contracts for sale on all sites and Fidelity has one listed at $79. Is it inevitable the price will fall into the 70's and what will the impact be on pricing at other resorts?
I don't think so, the taxes are a function of the government, not DVC or DVD.With Disney selling much less contracts at 160$pp and resales lowering, will taxes go down next year, lowering MF?
It might be what happened at SSR: it was declared sold out and then taxes went down.
Real estate taxes are based on value. They value the entire property then divide it up accordingly. They do not take individual contracts and recalculate the value accordingly like they MIGHT for a home. Some locals are subject to over valuing timeshares and rental type condo's to get more money but it's still based on some idea of the value of the property in total prorated for each owner.Aren't they calculated also on the basis of how much the contracts sell for?
